Learn more about what biotensegrity is and how it is changing how we view and work the body. Experience what compression and decompression exercises can do to relieve stiffness and discomfort through your own body.

Biotensegrity, a term coined by Dr. Stephen Levin, is the application of tensegrity principles to biological structures.[7] Biological structures such as muscles, bones, fascia, ligaments and tendons, or rigid and elastic cell membranes, are made strong by the unison of tensioned and compressed parts. The musculoskeletal system maintains tension in a continuous network of muscles and connective tissues[8], while the bones provide discontinuous compressive support. Even the human spine, which seems at first glance like a stack of vertebrae resting on each other, is actually a tensegrity structure.
