Understanding the Tension-Dependent Nature of the Human Body in ABSI 2.0

The exploration of Adaptive Bodywork Structural Integration 2.0 (ABSI 2.0) reveals that the human body is a ‘tension-dependent’ structure. This can be understood through the role of collagen fibres in our body’s connective tissues. Rather than traditional elongation, these fibres have the capacity to ‘melt’ the cross-linking bonds, allowing them to slide and reform for a longer span.

However, there are debates within the scientific community. Some suggest that increased length and flexibility may stem from the mind—enhancements of ‘stretch tolerance’ through repeated yoga or athletic action. Contrarily, experience with ABSI 2.0 indicates physical ‘give’ in the fascial system even in areas devoid of muscle tissue and in animals not susceptible to suggestion, implying the stretch tolerance argument does not cover the entire story of fascial plasticity.

Fascial Remodelling: The Key to Body Adaptation

Understanding fascial remodelling is crucial in ABSI 2.0. It’s a process that’s continuously at work, much like the body’s self-healing capabilities, such as the knitting of a broken bone or wound healing. Remodelling rates vary from person to person, but it’s known to accelerate after ‘healthy loading,’ such as exercise, intense stretch session, or a deep bodywork session. For strength conditioning, bodybuilding, and athletic skill-building, understanding fascial remodelling is essential.

Tensegrity and the Role of Muscle Tonus

Tensegrity, a structural principle based on the use of isolated components in compression inside a net of continuous tension, is a concept that was not available to Ida Rolf, the founder of structural integration. According to current anatomy models, a solid skeletal ‘frame’ with muscles laid on it, moves the frame around from their origin to insertion points. However, an entirely new line of study explores tensegrity at the cellular level. Each cell responds not only to its chemical environment but also to its mechanical surroundings, making tensegrity a captivating subject.

An ABSI 2.0 training session in progress

In ABSI 2.0, it is believed that the health improvements witnessed are from numerous body cells finding their ‘happy mechanical place,’ starting to function without excessive tensional stress. It is also emphasized that muscles are embedded in the fascia to function as adjustable wires within the fascial net, hence the importance of balancing muscle tone to promote even tonal balance across the myofascial tissues of the entire body.

The Vital Role of Movement and Muscle Tone

The original iteration of structural integration’s passive manipulation is inadequate without the client changing their movement patterns post-session. Recognizing this, ABSI 2.0 incorporates values from personal and athletic training and works synergistically with whole-body stretch methods like yoga, and exercise methods such as martial arts and Pilates.

Addressing long-standing muscle imbalances, weaknesses, and shortnesses

Studies reveal the crucial role that nourishing movement plays in our health, from deep epigenetic changes to better communication. Therefore, having a solid understanding of manipulation skills and methods for increasing muscle tonus is fundamental in ABSI 2.0. It is not enough to manipulate the tissues and hope that regular life movements will complete the corrective process. Addressing long-standing muscle imbalances, weaknesses, and shortnesses is vital to prevent the system—brain, muscles, and connective tissues—from falling back into old habits.
