Akesó Lab

Akesó was the Greek goddess of the healing process. The mission of the Akesó Lab is to provide precise patient-treatment matching of adaptive mind-body interventions for adults across the life span living with spinal pain and cognitive frailty. Our intention is to leverage mechanistic studies and pragmatic clinical trials focused on neuroplasticity and whole-person health outcomes. These discoveries will inform the refinement of an integrative rehabilitation approach aimed at enhancing interoception and motor control and enriching eudaimonia and healthy aging.
