Firmly pressing down on shin bones for just a few minutes every day drastically improved movement and cognition in mice and pigs one week after they had a traumatic brain injury. The intervention stimulates bone cells that are sensitive to physical force, causing them to release substances that promote good brain health.

“This is big news to me, as it reveals a previously underappreciated bone-brain communication system, and could potentially lead to new therapeutic approaches in the future,” says Kristian Franze at the Max Planck Center for Physics and Medicine in Germany, who wasn’t involved in the work.

Quick note from behind the scenes: my body is having one of those weeks (EDS flare), so I may need to shuffle a few sessions around.

I'm planning to make it through as scheduled, but if you get a message about shifting your time, know it's just me making sure I show up fully present for you, not half here.

Thanks for rolling with me. More soon!

Thanks so much to everyone who is so flexible!
