✨ What is Tensegrity? (And why it matters for your body!) “Tensegrity” means tensional integrity — it’s how structures stay strong by balancing tension and compression. In the body, think of it like this: 🧵 fascia, muscles, and ligaments create tension 🦴 bones provide compression Instead of one area doing all the work, the whole system shares the load. That’s why tightness in one spot can affect movement somewhere completely different. 💡 What tensegrity helps explain: ✔️ posture and alignment
