Rewiring the System: A Client Story of Healing Through Biotensegrity
How fast can the body respond when you change the way you move?
Faster than you think.
Take Alan, for example—a man in his 80s we’ve been working with for just over a month.
“I have been working with John Welch for 2-3 hours over the past 3 weeks. I tore my Achilles tendon 2 years ago, and after 2 years of consistent workouts, I continue to have much weakness in my legs and hips. I am thrilled to be experiencing a rapid return of my muscle energetics using John’s innovative technology. I am very thankful today to be experiencing my healing effectively every day now.” —Alan B. Steiner, DMD
What Changed?
Alan didn’t need more reps. He didn’t need harder workouts. He needed a different framework—one that helped him understand how his entire system is operating beneath the surface.
At Freeborn Coaching, that’s exactly what we teach:
How to read your own body’s operating system
How to re-engineer posture, proprioception, and muscular coordination from the primal brain outward
How to rebuild your internal architecture using the science of biotensegrity
“I have been working with John Welch for a short while now, 2 or 3 sessions. The results are beyond my human understanding, and give me back an aspect of my physiology I was not sure would ever return. Very thankful today.” —Alan
Biotensegrity in Action
Biotensegrity is the body’s tensional integrity system—the continuous web of fascia, ligaments, and muscle that communicates across the whole. From the tips of your toes to the tip of your nose, when tension becomes intelligently distributed, strength follows.
Alan had been working hard for years to restore his body after an injury, but the missing piece was teaching his system how to load, move, and respond in a way that aligned with his body’s original design.
“I must say working with John for 3-4 weeks now, and the improvement in my mind, body, and spirit this past month is closer to 40% than 1%. I was realizing this amazing improvement after only two practice sessions.” —Alan
Stability. Mobility. Strength. Freedom.
When you improve how your system loads and moves—not just how much it lifts—you start seeing results fast. Not because the work is magical, but because the body is already wired for this kind of intelligence. All we’re doing is teaching the system how to listen again.
That’s when you can start returning to the activities you love—whether that’s golf, dancing, hiking, or simply moving through your day with more confidence and freedom.
The Deep Why: Rewiring the Primal Brain
This is deeper than fitness. Every technique we use is designed to retrain the pontomedullary reticular formation—the PMRF. This primal structure in your pons, medulla, midbrain, and cerebellum holds the blueprint for full-body integration.
When the primal brain comes back online, healing isn’t just possible—it’s predictable.
“Thanks, John. Is it usual for so much improvement in so short a time? It’s only been 3-4 weeks, and we are still in the learning mode. 20 minutes a day. I was injured 2 years ago, and before we started, I felt crippled like an old person. My recovery is coming so rapidly that I truly feel the physical ability that has been restored in my body is better than it was 25 years ago. Very exciting for a guy who was shuffling around like an old man 20 years ago. Today I did one of these side kicks. I held the wall with one hand. Have not been able to do this for 40 years, and I left the ground and did it today.” —Alan
Your Body Already Knows
Alan’s story is a reminder of what’s possible when you stop chasing surface-level symptoms and start working with your body’s design.
If you’re doing all the right things and still not getting the results you want—it may not be your effort. It may just be your strategy.
We can help you change that.
