Your Structure Dictates Your Function

So our body is a is a wonderful balance of tension and compression. it’s called biotensegerity for our body. Everything is linked together when you’re moving around and playing with your kids or doing your activities or working out you have to understand that all these different linked areas need to coordinate and work with each other.

If you want to better your body and make sure that you stay balanced holistically make sure that each one of these links with chain is trained appropriately. Each link has a different thing that needs to happen. So it’s the same thing in our body if we’re off in one of those points our function is
going to suffer because our structure dictates our function.

Bio-Tensegerity And Your Body

How your body is balanced.

So our body is a wonderful balance of tension and compression – it’s called Bio tensegrity for your body.

The term tensegrity was actually coined by Buckminster Fuller, who was an architect way back in the day. He coined and termed and developed the philosophy, and he was a developer of thousands of structures.

A good one to think about is a geodesic dome in Montreal. That kind of shows you how tension and compression works.

So when a tensegrity structure is working really well, it’s got some components that happening:

It’s omnidirectional.
Its base form is a triangle.
It has a maximum stability with just a minimum material.
The size is theoretically unlimited.
It’s non-linear.
It’s low energy consumption.
The strength and resilience of the whole, exceeds in some of its parts.
Then the applied load is distributed throughout the structure.
It’s a rigid structure, but with discontinuance compression I
It’s a flexible structure but with continuous tension.

The best way to think about this is the Golden Gate Bridge. So it’s built with a tensegrity philosophy.

So imagine the bridge – we have all the different cables and bolts, and all these different struts – all this stuff is at work, it needs to do its job, so it’s flat and cars can drive across.

Now imagine it’s off, it’s too loose or something is too strong or too weak, whatever the case may be, now it’s tilting and now the cars can’t drive around.

So it’s the same thing in our body. If we are off in one of those points, our function is going to suffer because our structure dictates our function.

The trick is knowing what you need to do and why. In general you of course want to make sure that the front of your body, the back of your body and the two sites are in balance. Balanced structurally and even with strength and flexibility.

Having one side “better” than the other will eventually lead to a lot of disfunction.

But don’t forget the diaphragms in your body as they act like roofs, ceilings and basements in your body. The four main diaphragms:

cervical
cervical-thoracic
thoracic
pelvic diaphragms

are all made of soft tissue and bone, but more importantly are connected to the different sides of your body to help them stay balanced.

If they are off then even though your have balanced all your sides with proper stretches and strengthening exercises, you will be off balance.

I know this is a lot to take in, but I want you to get an idea of the complexity that the body works with and to read more about this so that you can get a better idea on how to really train your body.

I know it’s a lot to take in, so I want you to go to our website solcorefitness.com

The Holistic Body

Why you should think of your body as working together.

Your body is this amazing interconnected being. Everything is linked together. You need to be able to simultaneously move,
breathe, think, eliminate, have your your fluids flow properly. it’s a definition of holistic.

When you’re moving around and playing with your kids, or doing your
activities or working out you have to understand that all these different
linked areas need to coordinate and work with each other. To the degree that one of these areas is off means you’re in dysfunction. So you’re just disfunction could be a bad back. Your dysfunction could be headaches. Your dysfunction to be cancer. It depends on your genetic profile.

If you want to better your body and make sure that you stay balanced holistically you need to make sure that each one of these links in the chain is trained appropriately. Each link has a different thing that
needs to happen.

So if you curious about what that is please go to our website www.solcorefitness.com. Read the information we got there and feel free to reach and reach out to us for questions. Thanks a lot.

I have spinal stenosis which impedes nerve pathways resulting in pain and discomfort. Through the ELDOA’s and strength training I have learned how to manage my discomfort quite successfully. In addition I have learned how to increase strength and flexibility thru proper alignment, focus on technique and adhering to my homework.

During those three months, I found my sciatica pain gradually improving, and I felt an overall sense of rejuvenation and accomplishment after each class. Ekemba and Maya are skilled and highly motivational, and I enjoyed the camaraderie with the other class member

Encouraging, creative, and professional are the words that immediately come to mind when describing Ekemba as a trainer. His encouragement takes on various forms, such as his always enthusiastic greetings, the genuine interest he shows in me as a person, and most importantly, the way in which he guides me through his well-designed workouts.
