Book Synopsis Biotensegrity by : Graham Melvin Scarr

Download or read book Biotensegrity written by Graham Melvin Scarr. This book was released on 2019-03-25. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emerging science of biotensegrity provides a fresh context for rethinking our understanding of human movement, but its complexities can be formidable. Biotensegrity: The Structural Basis of Life, Second edition - now with full color illustrations throughout - explores and explains the concept of biotensegrity and provides an understanding and appreciation of anatomy and physiology in the light of the latest research findings. The reader learns that biotensegrity is an evolving science which gives researchers, teachers, and practitioners across a wide range of specialisms, including bodyworkers and movement teachers, a deeper understanding of the structure and function of the human body. They are then able to develop clinical practice and skills in light of this understanding, leading to more effective therapeutic approaches, with the aim of improved client outcomes. The second edition provides expanded coverage of the developmental and therapeutic aspects of biotensegrity. Coverage now includes: A more thorough look at life's internal processes Closed kinematic chains as the new biomechanics Embryological development as an evolutionary process The human body as a constantly evolving system based on a set of unchanging principles Emergence, heterarchies, soft-matter and small-world networks A deeper look at what constitutes the therapeutic process

Book excerpt: "An appreciation of the 'fascial' network in health and disease has been an integral part of osteopathic practice for more than a century, but it is only recently that the details of its structure have been recognized. Tom Myers described a system of myofascial 'meridians' that transmit tension along specific pathways, while Stecco has detailed the anatomy underlying an even more complex tensional system that could control movement in a way that the nervous system is incapable of; and both use these models in their respective approaches to treatment. However, while the concept of tensegrity is frequently mentioned in the literature, its precise value to practitioners is often unclear; is tensegrity simply a footnote to technique or does its influence go beyond theory; can one even see or feel the effects of tensegrity in the body? Biotensegrity - the architecture of life aims to present a detailed and overall picture of tensegrity/biotensegrity, and its relevance to functional anatomy and biomechanical theory, and thus forms part of the basic science that underpins clinical reasoning. Because some of the tensegrity terminology used by engineers is not applicable to biology, Levin introduced the term 'biotensegrity' to clearly differentiate these fields. This book brings everything together for the first time, from its discovery, the basic geometry, significance and anatomy to its assimilation into current biomechanical theory as a much needed reference."--The publisher.

Download or read book Beyond Biomechanics - Biotensegrity written by Maren Diehl. This book was released on 2019-01-04. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Maren Diehl describes biotensegrity as a new explanatory model for living bodies and especially horse kinetics, as the alternative paradigm to biomechanics. By connecting biotensegrity with the latest knowledge on myofascial tracks in the horse, the encouraging results of brain research and the "sphere of possibilities" as a practice field, the author provides another book filled to the brim. It is an invitation to merrily join motoric learning, tensegrity thinking and feeling, problem-solving processes and personal development. As difficult as the topic might initially appear: anyone who still has pleasure in contemplation or would like to reawaken their enthusiasm for learning and researching in the real, creative sense is well served with this book.
