Additional aspects of Tensegrity Touch revealed

Two classes have been recently taught in Madrid. Module I (June 30 and July 1-2) with 20 students and module II (July 6-8) with 15 students and the overall impression is that TT is somehow bringing indeed a new fashion of treatment in evoking the client's involuntary motor auto-regulatory behaviours (pandiculation) and can be considered as a neuro-myofascial approach. Those responses can contribute to the benefit of both, client and therapist: they bring efficacy to the miofascial component of the treatment and allow for the freeing forces to be steered in remote regions of the clients' body. Additionally, the therapist also has, making part of a single tensegrity system along with the client, the possibility to improve his own postural tonic function and hence degree of tensegrity. It seems to be a gain-gain way to play with our natural salutogenic resources!

The feedback of the clinical experiences of last year's students were indeed encouraging and continuing classes have already been scheduled for 2019, including Module III, in which, besides additional manoeuvres, the clinical practice will be in focus. Thanks a lot for Florence Cohen for having put together these classes!
