There is growing interest in developing non-pharmacological treatments that could boost natural defenses against cancer. Research at the Osher Center Connective Tissue lab has previously shown that daily gentle stretching in rats improves the resolution of inflammation. At the upcoming Osher Center Integrative Medicine Grand Rounds, Dr. Langevin will present the lab’s most recent results on stretching in a mouse model of breast cancer.

Nice find. This is yet more scientific evidence which shows that slow-moving and gentle exercises like IMA, Baduanjin, I-jin-jin, and Yoga have significant healing effects on the body. It's also amazing to me how the ancient Chinese and Indians were able to notice this millennia ago without using any fancy modern lab equipment.

AcuTalks recently had the opportunity to interview Dr. Helene Langevin, Osher Center Director, on her Connective Tissue Lab's research studying how connective tissue plays a role in the mechanisms of acupuncture. The lab's interest in acupuncture accompanies their overarching mission, to study the role of connective tissue in chronic pain.
