What a 2021 Nobel Prize might mean for natural healing?

Many of us here already work with the body through touch in one way or another. Bowen, acupressure, reflex points, fascia work, EFT - these are some of my tools, as therapist (some of you might know me more in my capacity of a coach and mentor).

We know from experience that pressure and structured touch influence our nervous system. In 2021, the Nobel Prize in "Physiology or Medicine" category was awarded for the discovery of the receptors that allow the body to sense pressure and mechanical stimulation.

In simple terms, how physical touch is translated into electrical signalling inside the nervous system. For me, this is interesting because it explains in biological terms something practitioners have observed and used for millennia.

Recently I discovered and started studying a form of wearable technology based on the above discovery - working only through patterned tactile stimulation on the skin. There are no ingredients involved, no electricity, no magnetic field - nothing that enters the body. The idea is simply to provide structured sensory input and allow the nervous system to respond in its own way.

Some users report noticeable effects, others describe subtle changes. A friend of mine from Norway introduced me to this system with something that sounds really close to miraculous. He has been in a wheel chair for 26 years with multiple sclerosis, I've known him since 2018. My interest spiked when he sent me a video showing him getting up from the wheelchair and walking about 5 meters, after 3 days of using the device.

What did this lead to?

I created a public community - Everyday Wellness Systems - where I share all the information I gather about products, medical reviews, conversations of this solution and one more (for now). I break down how the subscription-based wellness systems work, what they are designed to do, and where the limits are. It is a community-library intended for orientation before a decision is made.

If this topic resonates with you, or gets you interested in touch-based modalities, I am happy to have a chat - or have you join my brand new free community.

Thank you for the Move and Market Monday,

, I hope this information reaches the right people who might need a different approach for pain management, mobility, anxiety, addictions, inflammation and more.
