Fact #21
June 17, 2026A Cat's purr can heal bones.
A cat’s purr generates low-frequency vibrations that directly match the frequencies used in clinical human medicine to stimulate bone regeneration and tissue repair. The biological mechanism behind the statement is backed by physics and orthopedic research.
Mini Facts
1
They purr at a frequency between 25 and 150 hertz.
2
It's been shown to improve bone density, repair tendons, and ease muscle pain.
3
These vibrations promote bone growth by triggering the tissue's natural hardening response to pressure. Other frequencies may offer similar benefits for soft tissue.
