This paper presents an integrative theoretical model proposing that the human biotensegrity network, via its distributed piezoelectric properties, generates bioelectrical charge accumulations under sustained gravitational load — particularly in the lower limbs. Three complementary hypotheses are formalized: (1) a postural piezoelectric accumulation mechanism as a contributing factor in restless legs syndrome (RLS/Willis-Ekbom disease); (2) a continuous mechanotransductive loop linking peripheral fascia → spinal dural tube → falx cerebri → crista galli → sphenoid → sellar diaphragm → pituitary stalk, constituting a slow mechanical feedback pathway modulating hypothalamic-pituitary axis secretion; (3) a circadian mechanical zeitgeber whereby the orthostatism/decubitus cycle synchronizes hormonal secretion peaks (GH, prolactin, ADH, melatonin, cortisol). Convergent evidence from RCT studies on earthing, peripheral electrical stimulation, and TENS — each demonstrating efficacy without proposed mechanism — is interpreted as indirect validation of the model. Experimental validation protocols are proposed.
