Living Biotensegrity
Biotensegrity is an English word formation based on tension, that is, tension and integrity, wholeness, cohesion. The term stands for a mechanical model of biological structures and functions and for the architecture of living structures. This system is primarily about the principles of tension and compression. The model has far-reaching consequences for manual therapeutic treatment.

Physicist, movement researcher and educator. Since 1989 Dr Martin has been practicing Chinese arts of movement (Qi Gong, Tai Ji Quan and Yi Quan); she is also trained in dance therapy and in Spiraldyamik® (three-dimensional movement coordination) and worked as a movement therapist at a psychosomatic clinic for eight years. Dr Martin studied biotensegrity with Dr Stephen Levin and Tom Flemons. In 2009 she set up an international think-tank focussed on biotensegrity: the Biotensegrity Interest Group (B.I.G.). The group meets every year. She has developed movement concepts based on her diverse background and integrated them into a unified programme. She now practices as a freelance "living biotensegrity" teacher.
