The human body works as one integrated system of tension and compression, where every part connects to every other part. If one area is misaligned, it breaks the whole chain. Train each link properly or your movement and performance suffer.

So our body is a wonderful balance of tension and compression. It's called biotensegrity. For our body, everything is linked together. When you're moving around and playing with your kids or doing your activities or working out, you have to understand that all these different linked areas need to coordinate and work with each other if you want to better your body and make sure that you stay balanced holistically, you make sure that each one of these links in the chain is trained appropriately. Each link has a different thing that needs to happen. So it's the same thing in our body. Right. If we're off in one of those points, our function is going to suffer because our structure dictates our function.
