The Fajardo Method®
VIDEO RESOURCES
Here you can find videos illustrating some concepts regarding biomechanics, the nervous system, and the Fajardo Method of Holistic Biomechanics™.
Biotensegrity
Biotensegrity describes the structural principals and transfer of force in living systems. The video clip below shows a biotensegrity movement model. Note how the leg structure changes shape rather than lengthening or shortening the structural components in order to walk.
The Valve System
The valve system is responsible for respiration, circulation, and digestion. It is also essential for immune system response and the healthy functioning of our organs.

Peristalsis
Peristalsis is a wave-like muscle contraction that controls digestion and other vital functions, and is the result of a well-functioning valve system. This video shows an actual filming of a peristaltic wave.
Note: Do not watch if you do not want to see the inside of a stomach.
