floating bones

"Where you think it is, it ain't." - Ida Rolf

It is not so much the stacking of the bones that best defines the structure of the body. Movement challenges this idea. In using tensegrity to define the true structure of the body, the "bones are floating" -- that is, the bones are suspended in a web of fascia (connective tissue). Because of this high degree of interconnectivity in the body through a weaving process, where an injury is felt is often not the area that needs treatment.

The first video explains the concept of tensegrity, as a model for the structure of the body. The second and third show how injuries FELT on the front, lateral, back, and medial side of the knee can be treated with trigger point therapy on the weakened areas along the leg.
