Static Tension
Muscles working against each other to hold you up; Survival Physiology. Abnormal tension leading to abnormal movement, locking of joints and progressive wear and tear.
Dynamic Tension*
Equal muscle tension on both sides of the spinal curves. Muscles in both the front and back are contracting in the eccentric or long state, producing stability and alignment. Important for creating foundation for posture and stable position for resistance training.
Dynamic Range of Motion**
Movement of a joint’s potential motion over which one has active muscular control.
Tensegrity***
Equal distribution of weight throughout the body. Integrity of the tension throughout the body. Allows stability, flexibility and movement to coexist. Important for proper ergonomic movement and the basis for sports and Yoga-type activities.
