VIBROACOUSTIC THERAPY
What is Vibroacoustic Therapy?
Vibro = vibration
Acoustic = sound
Vibroacoustic therapy involves the use of low frequency vibrations and sound to stimulate body cells into therapeutic states of relaxation and healing.
The technology for this therapy was created in the 1980s in Norway by Olav Skille.
Vibroacoustic Therapy (VAT) may be used as an independent therapy or incorporated with other therapeutic modalities for deeper healing experiences.
Some Benefits of Vibroacoustic Therapy:
Activation of the parasympathetic (rest, heal & digest) nervous system
Improved sleep
Reduction in stress, anxiety, depression
Reduce body pain
Increase whole body circulation
Reduce blood pressure
Reduce healing time
Increased focus and concentration
Regulate limbic system (emotional memories)
Deep meditation
How does it work?
Brain Entrainment
Entrainment [physics]: a phenomenon that occurs when one rhythmic vibrating frequency synchronizes with another.
Sound, through music, is used to coax the brain using specific frequencies that stimulate brain waves into different therapeutic states.
Vibration
Transducers within the bed are synced with the low frequency sound waves, creating vibrations. This low frequency tactile stimulation reaches the cellular level encouraging increased circulation and decreased pain. It’s like an internal massage for your cells.
Brain Stimulation
Low frequency waves stimulate healthy, balanced neural connections helping to downregulate the nervous system (stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system).

Yes! Vibroacoustic therapy enhances the effectiveness of other modalities and is a wonderful pairing. VAT may be added to your session for $50 and depending on the modality, may need to be scheduled in advance.
The vibroacoustic therapy mat is on the treatment table and is turned on when you’re ready for your session. Unless added on to another modality, you’ll be offered an eye pillow, headphones for a fully immersive sound healing experience and a blanket to keep you warm and cozy.
