Mechanotherapy

Meaning

Mechanotherapy is a specialized therapeutic approach that utilizes mechanical forces, such as those generated by physical exercise, stretching, or external devices, to stimulate specific biological responses within tissues, promoting healing, remodeling, and adaptation. In the context of hormonal health, this refers to leveraging controlled mechanical load to modulate the release of myokines and osteokines, influence cellular signaling, and enhance tissue sensitivity to anabolic hormones. It is a targeted application of physical stress to elicit a therapeutic physiological change.
