    From Stress to Structure: Navigating Tension in Your Body

    Tension is an often misunderstood concept when it comes to our bodies. In today's chat, we argue that tension, contrary to popular belief, is not all bad and plays a critical role in our movement and stability. First we must destigmatise tension and embrace the importance of strategic, functional tension. Our conversation then shifts to the potential negative impacts of tension when it becomes maladaptive. We explore concepts like allostasis, the sources of functional tension, and practical tips for managing and redistributing tension effectively. Stay tuned for the next episodes where we’ll delve deeper into holding patterns and the structural model of imbalance. This is a public episode.
