What is Tensegrity Medicine and how can it complement traditional therapy practices? How can this holistic approach connect the body’s structures and systems?

MEET Kelly Clancy

Kelly has been practicing in the field of rehabilitative medicine for over 36 years. Her focus is not only on the physical issues that may present in disease and dysfunction but also on the relationship of stress, cognitive belief patterns, and emotions and their relationship with the physical body. She utilizes the principles of tensegrity as a foundation for the evaluation of global structural patterns, along with the implementation of targeted light touch manual therapies, movement integration, and dialoguing, as a means to understand adaptation and to create balance within the whole person. Kelly is an Occupational therapist, structural integrator, massage therapist, holistic health counselor, and an IFS practitioner. She teaches nationally and internationally on the therapeutic method she developed called Tensegrity Medicine. She is on clinical faculty at the University of Washington’s rehabilitation department, where she lectures on the topics of fascia, biotensegrity, innovative light touch manual therapies, and body-mind medicine.
