Connie,

Thanks. I'll check it out and then get back to you.

She is totally health first.

All her material is for pulling in and re-aligning

what has sagged or drooped from no exercise, too much

desk and driving, all that stuff.

Connie,

Why is it important to pay attention to both insertion points?? I thought

what one wants to do is put the muscle through a full range of motion. In this

way the muscle becomes more functional. How does one exercise both insertion

points at the same time or are we talking about full range of motion? Also, I

really didn't understand the biotensegrity inform. Somewhat over my head.

Could you explain it in lay persons terms??.

Thanks

T-Tapp is new-style, integrated bodymind like the Tensegrity model of

musculature, even though she doesn't use those words. She talks a lot

about how her workouts pay attention to both muscle insertion points.

Interesting. Thanks...

The whole biotensegrity thing is a little off topic for this so I'm

sorry I started it. Basically it says that our bodies are really a

Bucky ball, do you know that toy? Muscles attach to fascia, not bone;

and a bone never meets another bone. All we are is sticks that are

held in tension in by rubbery fascia that is made of muscles. Why even

bring this up? Because it changes the way we think about training.

Every time you concentrate on one of the strings (one muscle) the

others are affected anyway, so why not devise whole-body exercises

that take advantage of it.
