Tensegrity Medicine
Mentorship Training
What is the Tensegrity Medicine Training About?
This comprehensive program assists the practitioner in learning valuable skills in understanding cutting-edge bodymind approaches to treatment, exploring the various factors influencing health and healing.
Tensegrity Medicine specialists are experts in understanding the neurofascial system, whole-body biotensegral assessments, innovative cutting-edge light touch manual therapies, somatic sense perception training, and dialoguing skills related to the body, perceptions, and emotions.
This course has been prerecorded and includes student participation. It emphasizes a biotensegrity-based model for working with the bodymind as a whole rather than utilizing a reductionistic treatment approach. The training not only examines the fascia and nervous systems in great detail, but also explores the physical form of the body as a representation of internal dialogue, thought patterns, perceptions, and beliefs.
What will you learn in this training?
Understand the biotensegrity-based model of the body and the psyche. Learn how disruption in tension or compression forces of the neurofascial system or in our thought systems and beliefs can influence posture, strength, range of motion and function.
Understand the concepts of tensegrity and how omni-dimensionally balancing the physical structure can restore balance and diminish pain and pathological movement patterns.
Learn the latest research related to the connective tissue system (neuromyofascial system), psychoneuroendocrinology, neuroscience, and related trauma-informed care.
Be able to perform global biotensegrity-based assessments of the tension-compression patterns of the body in order to determine the rationale for treatment.
Be able to objectively measure both pre and post-treatment therapeutic outcomes of global system change.
Learn how to apply clinical critical reasoning skills related to the biotensegrity-based framework of treatment.
Apply new targeted light touch techniques to create omnidimensional balance.
Learn to incorporate unique movement strategies to facilitate novel movement patterns, increasing long-term carryover of therapeutic patterns.
Learn introductory dialogue curiosity questions to address the cognitive patterns and lifestyle choices influencing the physical balance of the body.
Learn appropriate documentation terminology to increase efficiency and consistency in communication.
Learn how to practice self-care practices and strategies to avoid clinician burnout.
Learn models of connective tissue kinetic chains and how they can be used as a ‘roadmap’ in determining restrictions and/or balancing forces.
Learn how to teach your clients how to activate their own ‘inner physician’ as a part of the healing process.
Learn how the use of somatic interoceptive sensation can play an important role in facilitating change in postural and tensional patterning.
Who Is This Training For?
Eligible students include massage therapists, physical and occupational therapists, movement specialists, bowen practitioners, naturopaths, chiropractors, physician assistants, nurses, physicians, or anyone curious about the bodymind system.
Emphasis is on not on ‘fixing’ our clients, but instead, helping to identify and locate where the ‘stagnations’ lie in the bodymind system, through increasing self-awareness and compassionate witnessing of the whole system. This approach ultimately invites the client to explore new, novel, updated patterns within the existing system. We achieve this through hands-on treatment, movement, dialogue, and the exploration of lifestyle habits as a means to create long-lasting change. This empowering approach most often leads to a resolution of pain, changes in abnormal chronic movement patterns, and improvement in function, while returning agency back to the client.

“What an incredible mentorship as well as a professional and personal journey! You will learn whole-person care through the lens of biotensegrity, neuroscience, connective tissue, embodied dialogue, and more! All of it makes SO much sense! The patient will benefit from being seen in this light. It doesn’t matter if you are an OT, PT, ATC, nurse, or any other profession; this is human-to-human connection and therapy for our human bodies and minds. Kelly is quite amazing not only teaching the material but also taking you on a personal journey with the work as well. You will complete the mentorship as a deeper, more connected person and therapist.”
Testimonials
“Giving a shout-out to this mentorship training is easy! I have gained SO much insight into the tensegrity structure of the body, which was expected and exactly what I signed up for, but this mentorship is not only limited to the body but takes into account the wholeness of the person. How the psyche/psychology of a being affects the body, much like the body absolutely affects the psyche. If you are at all curious about how to bridge what modern medicine has dissected apart, be prepared to gain the understanding that what is present in the part is present in the whole, and not only will you be able to understand it, you will also learn how to articulate it and include it in your day-to-day clinical documentation.”
“Tensegrity Medicine changed my life both personally and professionally. If you are looking for transformation, you have come to the right place! Kelly brings depth, clarity and compassion to her work as a teacher, facilitator, practitioner, and mentor. I felt incredibly supported by the community she created through this mentorship training and inspired by her humility. I honestly feel that this work needs to be the future of health care and that this material needs to be incorporated into every physical and occupational therapy masters/docotrate program. I am incredibly impressed and am waling away from this training with a wealth of information, tools for sel-inquiry, and the resources I need to support my clients as they heal”.
