Fascia Fact Friday: Tensegrity - Your Body’s Hidden Architecture ✨
Your body isn’t held together by stiff, stacked parts… it’s held together by tensegrity; a balance of tension and compression that lets you move with ease, strength, and adaptability.
In simple terms:
Your bones act like floating struts, and your fascia acts like a continuous web of gentle tension that suspends, supports, and connects everything (think of a modern skyscraper). When one part of the web tightens, shifts, or compensates… the whole system feels it.
That’s why tension in your jaw can influence your hips.
Why a scar on your belly can change how your shoulders move.
And why movement that supports your fascia creates change everywhere.
MAP Movement works with this tensegrity system, not against it. Through breath-led mobility, gentle elasticity training, and patterned bounces, we help your fascia distribute load, restore balance, and return to its naturally dynamic state.
Your body was designed to move as one connected whole.
Tensegrity just reminds us of the remarkable truth behind that design.
