Episode #162: Accelerating Healing With Tuning Forks
In this episode of the Starline Equine Bodywork Podcast, we dive into the fascinating science and practical application of 128 Hz weighted tuning forks – a gentle yet powerful tool for accelerating tissue repair in horses and humans alike.
Often called the “Otto 128,” this low-frequency fork creates coherent mechanical vibrations that travel beautifully through bone and dense connective tissue. Backed by principles of vibroacoustics, mechanotransduction, and piezoelectricity, the 128 Hz frequency triggers nitric oxide release for better circulation and reduced inflammation, upregulates healing genes, stimulates collagen synthesis and osteoblast activity, and even generates tiny bioelectrical currents that mimic the body’s natural repair signals.
The result? Faster recovery from injury, decreased pain, relaxed fascia, and a calmer nervous system – all without drugs or invasive procedures.
