Description

Current knowledge around posture and biomechanics is limited when it comes to the translation of these into actual disease states. Current research is leading us to have a better understanding of the way structure of the body can directly lead to different levels of function, even down to the cellular level. Dr. Keys bring light to these new concepts, and helps the learner better understand the role altered mechanics plays in patients health and how they can impact this through education and OMM.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Define biotensegrity, tensegrity and mechanotransduction; correlating the osteopathic tenet of structure and function interrelationship to these principles.
  2. Describe the historical context of tensegrity, biotensegrity and mechanotransduction including importnat people who have developed these principles and their applications. 
  3. Discuss how through biotensegrity and mechanotransduction, postural changes and muscle imbalance can influence the function of the body on a molecular level.
