You have seen it work.
This video is where you find out why.
Let me be clear about what this is, you will not need a science background to follow it.
It is the mechanism underneath everything else in this series, and it is the piece most of us were never taught.
We start with a term from Dr. Stephen Levin, an orthopedic surgeon: biotensegrity.
It is the idea that your body is held together by one continuous framework of tension and compression, from the inside of every cell out to the bone.
You can feel this for yourself in ten seconds, sitting where you are, and I will show you how.
It is also why a knee injured twenty years ago can surface as low back pain today.
Then the finding that changed my practice.
Bone is not inert.
It is the deepest layer of fascia in the body, and when it takes an impact it expands, and it stays expanded. In 2005, researchers at the University of California measured exactly that.
Once you have seen it, you cannot unsee it.
One more piece. Injured tissue carries a bioelectric signature, and that is how we locate injuries the eye alone would miss. Four double-blind studies stand behind it.
Watch this one once and let it settle.
You do not need to memorize any of it.
It’s important when you need to be able to answer the patient who asks why their back pain came from their knee.
