'TENSEGRITY' ..FREE FROM GRAVITATIONAL PULL AND INTERNAL COMPRESSION
CONTROLOGY PILATES METHOD is Recommended by Osteopaths, Chiropractors, Physiotherapists, Surgeons and GP's as a safe, long term solution to their patients’ injuries, pain and health issues.

Contrology changed my life. There’s a bold statement, and a true one.
Working with Karin Locher and her excellent team at the Contrology Studio in Sarratt has done just that. In 2008 my MRI scan showed with one bulging (technical term = herniated) lumbar disc and the rest of the lumbars a bit squashed, I was advised by a consultant to rest either horizontally or vertically (no sitting down) and to return to him to see what sort of surgery I would need to fix my spine.........'

Surgery or no Surgery?
In my years of working with collapsed, compressed, degenerated,traumatised, and scolioses spines, with pro-lapsed and herniated discs, I can honestly say that nobody has 'needed' their surgery. I have seen many patients 'post accident' where surgery at the time of the accident had been the only available option and have then worked to rehabilitate and to free the body from often held trauma and the many ongoing symptoms of both the accident and often the surgery. When patients come to us before surgery spinal they have always recovered fully without the need for the knife. With the bodys own innate and natural ability to 'change', bones can be 'moved' without the knife. If we can renegotiate resistance and intercommunicate to the 'body brain' it 'listens' and 'responds' giving us, the practitioners, an ideal re-education opportunity; together with a fully involved and commited mind the results are stunning. Taking responsibility for our daily bodily habits, our state of physicality and realising that whether we like it or not we are directly a part of it, is the starting point for a life free of body collapse, compression, pain, decay , dis-ease and free from surgery.
How we work to avoid surgery - the body as a bio tensegrity structure (in tensional integrity)
From the emerging research on the body's fascia and extracellular matrix, it is clear that the body organises itself around complex chains within the 'neuromyofascail web' (Thomas Myers).
Contrology and The Bodylines™ is a revolutionary 'reality' of woking with the body's 'tensegrity', the neuromyofscial web held throughout the body. It re-creates lost 'space' and re-negotiates a balanced support structure which is freed from the deteriation of gravitational pull and the damaging outcome of internal compression. With its precision, this consistently applied neuromuscular interconnection to the myofascia can be maintained throughout the body, and the bones are literally 'held apart' with stability and full mobility in a continuous tension network ( biotensgerity).
Tensegrity and 'bio' tensegrity
Understanding body adaptation patterns to stress changes are primary to our movement patterns. In a Tensegrity or suspension structure, an isolated problem or event does not exist. There is only the response of the whole.
The myofascia, (muscle and fascia together), interconnect so that a continuous tension network can exist and function within the body, creating and operating with the body as a 'bio tensegrity' structure rather than the common westen‘post and lintel’ image we have been used to
The word Tensegrity, a Buckminster Fuller term, was originally a term coined in the engineering of suspension bridges as a way to define distribution of force through structure. When a part of a suspension bridge is weak or compromised, the entire structure responds to balance out the problem. The power & stability of a suspension bridge is in the ability to move or adapt under stress load changes. The same can be said for the human body.
