If there are nodes in the matrix where this is not the case, as when we initiate a movement, the matrix will self-adjust to maximally distribute the load &#8211; zeroing the nodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manual Therapy, from these perspectives, can be described as any manipulation of the structure that further maximizes the function of tensegrity mechanics within the connective tissue matrix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Strolling under the Skin\" width=\"730\" height=\"411\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eW0lvOVKDxE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Discussion of Tensegrity and the Connective Tissue Matrix can be found in this category of blog posts:<br \/><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brianesty.com\/bodywork\/category\/tensegrity\/\" title=\"\">TENSEGRITY AND CONNECTIVE TISSUE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manual Therapy tactics and strategies have foundationally evolved since I went into practice in the 1980&#8217;s.
