2016 Tensegrity Touch new research project

We are starting a new research project at the Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade de São Paulo, in which we plan to measure the degree of tensegrity with accelerometry during the TT maneuvres, along with the monitoring of muscle activity with EMG (electromyography). 
Our hypothesis is that, besides the already described involuntary muscle activity during the maneuvres, we would detect a change in the patterns of muscle recruitment after the maneuvres, namely, a rise in the tonic activity and possibly a decrease of phasic activity. Let us see!

2015 Tensegrity Touch classes


We had three Tensegrity Touch classes in 2015: in Gals, Switzerland, in June 27-28; in Manchester, England, in July 26-27 and in São Paulo, in August 21-23 and September 25-27. Most students in those classes were Rolfers and physiotherapists.
