“Our skeletons have grown up resisting gravity for quite a few million years. At the end of the day, we have to think of bone not as this sort of static dried-out skeleton in the desert, but rather this live viable tissue that adds bone and resorbs bone.”
–Clinton Rubin, Ph.D.
Dr. Clinton Rubin is a SUNY distinguished professor of biomedical engineering and director of the Center for Biotechnology at Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, New York. Dr. Rubin’s research is targeted toward bones and how to use mechanical stimuli to establish non-drug treatment strategies for osteoporosis and diabetes. Dr. Rubin holds 30 patents in the areas of wound repairs, stem cell regeneration, and treatment of metabolic disease. He founded EXOGEN, Juvent, and Marodyne Medical, which uses physical signals to regulate biological processes. He has published over 300 articles. In this episode, Dr. Rubin explains the safety and benefits of low-intensity vibration for our bones. He describes the exact parameters we are looking for when it comes to vibration platforms and the latest research on this topic.
