Vibroacoustic Therapy is an FDA-approved, safe, drug-free, non-invasive approach to healing. It is a type of music-sound therapy that involves passing low-frequency sound wave vibrations into the body. The therapy stimulates the entire nervous system from the brain to the spine to your toes. There are proven effects on the muscular, limbic, and nervous systems. Transmitting low-frequency vibrations to specific body parts restores the natural frequency of aging or injured cells and improves their cellular functions. Studies have found a 60% reduction in chronic pain in cancer patients. *(summary of few studies quoted at the end). VAT therapy is not suggested for patients with a cardiac stimulator (pacemaker)
What is vibro acoustic healing?
Vibroacoustic Therapy is an FDA approved, safe, drug-free, non-invasive approach to healing.

The tissues and muscles that are under a tension from injury, accident, any pain/stress get relaxed through the therapy and allow more natural blood flow. The vessels transport the natural chemical causing relaxation and stimulate recovery through the entire body. More the blood flow, better supply of necessary elements and oxygen for faster healing/ recovery of the body.
Finland and Norway are utilizing VAT in their hospitals as supplemental methods for treatments such as chronic pain, sub clinical depression and Parkinson’s disease in their hospitals.
What conditions benefit from the therapy
What you need to do?
You just need to comfortably lay down on a special bed relaxing and listening to music during the session, it is not invasive sound therapy. Take a chance on this unique experience of sound and vibration.
Summary of few research studies of VAT
Studies have also found that one can transmit low-frequency sounds to match the natural frequency in an injured muscle. This method is thought to release muscle tension, improve blood circulation, and increase metabolism (Punkanen and Ala-Ruona 2012).
There are over more than 30 years of worldwide practice of the therapy with no side effects. One study by Brewer and Coope (2003) found a 60% reduction in chronic pain in their 40 cancer patients after controlled pre- and post- evaluations.
Studies shows that sound waves move through water at least 5 times more efficiently than through the air and hence a water based treatment bed is used for this treatment.
