Clinton Rubin researched and discovered that frequencies between 25-50 Hz can increase bone density by as much as 20%. We learn more about the myriad of uses for this fork in The Alexander Method®️️ of Vibrational Sound & Body Therapy.An exciting part of this research comes from studying the vibration of purring cats. Instead, use the tuning fork on an area near the injured bone to increase nitric oxide to support surrounding tissue healing. Often referred to as the field X-ray, or poor man’s Xray.ĬONTRAINDICATIONS: DO NOT use the ANY Otto Tuning forks on a broken or fractured bone, this will cause pain and may further the damage.
