What Is Vibroacoustic Therapy?
Available on Mondays, Thursdays & Fridays 9am to 430pm - Please call to schedule
Vibroacoustic Therapy, or VAT, is essentially a deep tissue low-frequency sound massage using audio waves in the range of 30Hz-120 Hz that are being transmitted to the body by embedded transducers in the bed. The sound gently permeates the cells allowing massage from inside as well as out. Vibroacoustic technology delivers low-frequency vibrations throughout your body that quickly releases you out of a stress response and into a place of deep relaxation and receptivity.
Who Can Benefit From VAT?
VAT may be an independent therapy or incorporated with medical treatment and psychotherapy. It is beneficial to people with chronic or special needs, and any person with stress that wants to apply preventive and integrative wellness therapy.
VAT has been studied by researchers worldwide including the National Institute of Health (NIH). NIH reports the benefits of using VAT for PTSD , anxiety, depression, sleep issues, chronic pain and more.
Some benefits of VAT include:
- Increase sleep quality
- Reduce or eliminate effects of stress
- Address PTSD / somatic ( physical) symptoms
- Regulate the limbic system (emotional memories)
- Activate the Relaxation Response
- Reduce anxiety and muscle pain or spasms
How Does VAT Affect the Body?
The mechanism of action of VAT is the oscillation of the human nervous system with frequencies and resonance characteristics of various muscle groups. VAT combines these resonance frequencies programs based on experimentally based effects, evaluated by patient reactions. Thousands of research hours have taught us how to use these programs to relax, stimulate and relieve pain.
What Conditions Does VAT Treat?
- Chronic Pain
- Anxiety
- Depression
- PTSD
- Nightmares
- Stress
- Burnout
- Brain functioning and concentration
How Does VAT Work?
Vibroacoustic therapy is based on the principle that life is vibration. Matter, including the human body, vibrates all the time, at various frequencies. Sound and music also vary in frequency. Therefore, when the various frequencies of sound and/or music are converted to vibration which is introduced to the human body, it can be utilized to bring the body into a state of healthy resonance.
Vibroacoustic Therapy uses low frequencies and therapeutic music delivered through special speakers called transducers. As a person’s body has contact with the embedded speakers, the music is sent from the source into the transducers and then is felt by the body as vibration and heard by the ears as sound. The vibro-tactile input stimulates nerve bundles along the spine, up into the brainstem and then through the limbic system. In addition, the sound stimulates the medulla in the brain stem and activates the auditory nerve that connects with all the muscles of the body. These reactions signal the body to relax and flood the brain with mood-lifting chemicals. In addition, the low frequencies also cause a relaxation of the tissues and a dilation of blood vessels and an opening of the lymphatic pathways which in turn increases the body’s ability to heal.

What Should I Expect at My VAT Visit?
Clients should wear something comfortable . Clients will remove only their shoes. Once comfortable we will have you lay down on the Vibroacoustic bed then a team member will choose the frequencies and music to address the issues indicated and turn on the equipment.
You will begin to feel the gentle vibrational frequencies through the bed and hear the soothing music through the headset. The Team member will then leave you in the room to enjoy your session for 30 minutes.
Clients report feeling many pleasant sensations. Abstract thinking slows and body and mind awareness expands. Some people experience a dream-like, or deep meditative state. Others fall asleep, report seeing colors, experience clarity and new insight and feel relief of pain or symptoms.
When the session is over, the team member will return to the room to gently turndown the vibrational frequencies and music.
