Everyone talks about retirement savings.
But no one talks about the muscle you’ll need to use those years.

Muscle keeps you moving.
Muscle keeps you thinking.
Muscle keeps you living life on your own terms.

Invest in it.

The most detailed view of a human cell to date is the "Cellular landscape cross-section through a eukaryotic cell", a 3D model created by Evan Ingersoll and Gael McGill. This visualization combines data from multiple scientific techniques, including X-ray, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and cryoelectron microscopy, to represent the cell's intricate structures and molecular choreography. Another recent and highly detailed effort is the comprehensive map of the U2OS cell created by researchers at UC San Diego and Stanford University, which uses Al and advanced imaging to reveal protein functions.

Ever wondered how your body moves with such coordinated ease, adapts to the internal and external forces that beset it, and is capable of amazing feats? The answer lies in a fascinating concept called biotensegrity.

Originally introduced by orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Stephen M. Levin, biotensegrity states that the body isn’t just a stack of bones with muscles attached; a system of pulleys and levers. Instead, it’s a self-organising, dynamic structure built on the continuous dance between tension and compression.

From cells to organs, bones to muscles, all surrounded and supported by the liquid crystalline matrix that is the fascia, the biotensegral body is resilient, low-energy and load-distributing; it self-formed in the embryo, has no 'core' and is internally balanced and fully adaptive to every situation.

When we understand biotensegrity, we stop seeing the body as a machine to be “fixed” and start recognising it as a living system with the ability to self heal; one that is responsive, resonant and highly sensitive on many levels.

Curious to dive deeper into how this shapes your work with the body, whether you are a movement educator, manual therapist, surgeon or osteopath?

Fascial facials would be much better for you...

10/01/2025

Imagine a full-body web that weaves through you from head to toe. This web is called fascia. It surrounds, connects, and interpenetrates your muscles, bones, nerves, blood vessels, and organs, all the way down to the cellular level. It’s the fabric that holds you together.

When you experience trauma (physical or emotional), surgery (trauma done on purpose), stress, or something overwhelming, that web can tighten and harden. It’s like a snag in a sweater. One small pull in one place can create tension throughout the fabric. Over time, that tension can cause pain, stiffness, or feelings of being “stuck,” even far from where the problem began.

Through the gentle, sustained pressure of Myofascial Release, fascia begins to soften like butter melting, lengthen like taffy stretching, and rehydrate like a dry sponge absorbing water. As it unwinds, the web restores its natural fluidity, and your body remembers how to move and feel free again.

Before and after photos from the Fascial Cranium seminar I just returned from. I notice that the mandible has moved more anterior, the frontal bone has lifted superiorly, zygoma are more balanced...

What changes do YOU see?
