BIOMECHANICS OF ADAPTIVE ALIGNMENT

A TENSEGRITY APPROACH TO BIOMECHANICS

​

5-Modules | 140-hr Training | 4-day Long Weekend Format in Laguna Beach, CA

- this format includes practitioner exchanges- 

Instructor: Aimee Kolsby

 

Course Description: Liz Gaggini developed a system that takes biomechanics out into the fascial matrix of the human body. Based on the principles of connective tissue adaptability and tensegrity mechanics,  this five-module series teaches a full body approach for correcting the structural misalignments that create pain and joint degeneration which greatly disturb equilibrium, balance and integrated movement.  

 

MODULE 1: Biomechanics of the Pelvis and Natural Alignment Jan 23-26, 2025 (4-day)

In this 4-day class, you will learn to assess natural alignment through factors of girdle position, spinal curvature and appendicular rotations. You will learn the anatomy and kinesiology of the different patterns of tilt, shift, symmetry and asymmetry that can be found within the pelvic girdle.   Work will be demonstrated for bringing the pelvis into balance and symmetry. More info:   

Cost: $650. 

​

MODULE 2: Biomechanics of the Shoulder Girdle March 13-16, 2025 (4-day)

As with the pelvis, here you will learn the anatomy and kinesiology of the different patterns of tilt, shift, symmetry and asymmetry that can be found with the shoulder girdle.  Work will be demonstrated for bringing the shoulder girdle into balance and symmetry. More info: 

Cost: $650 

​

MODULE 3: Biomechanics of the Arms and Legs May 15 - 18, 2025 (4-day)

You will learn how appendicular counter-rotations create adaptive function.  Specific assessments for all the joints of the legs, feet, arms and hands will be demonstrated and practiced. You will learn specific techniques for de-rotating segments of the legs, feet, arms and hands for creating greater adaptive range. More info: 

Cost: $650

 

MODULE 4: Biomechanics of Spine and Neck Sept 18 - 21, 2025 (4-day)  (4-day)

You will learn to apply the principles of spinal biomechanics to the entire skeletal and fascial matrix of the entire torso. You will learn palpatory, visual and movement techniques for assessing vertebrae and rib alignments.   You will learn a full matrix approach for correcting the side bends and rotations of the spine and ribs that integrates with the work for the pelvic and shoulder girdles. More info: 

Cost: $650

 

MODULE 5: Advanced Techniques and Dysfunctional Patterns Feb 6 - 9, 2025 (4-day)

You will see how not all asymmetries are functionally adaptive. These dysfunctional asymmetries prevent the progress of any structural integration applications.  You will learn special correction protocols for transforming these dysfunctional alignments into functional asymmetries that then can be further corrected with structural work. Advanced techniques include working with joint motility, indirect techniques and cranial patterns..   More info: 

Cost: $650

​

Advanced Biomechanics 3-Series: SPINE | GIRDLES | LIMBS Jan 22-25, 2026 (4-day)

You will apply the principles of the biomechanics system as a 3-Series of sessions addressing the whole body to achieve better integration, ease and equipoise. You will learn ways to assess shoulder girdle and pelvis; arms and legs and spine from the sacrum to the cranium. You will learn to  correct structural asymmetries by freeing postural fixations in the fascial matrix of the body. Each session will be designed for the unique structural patterns of each individual. Whether you use this system as a standalone introduction to Structural Integration,  or a “tune-up” following a full 10-Series, this mini-series offers a quick yet powerful way to sustain or initiate postural transformations. More info:
