When it comes to “sound therapy” many people think of sound healing and/or music therapy. While all use sound as a therapeutic tool, they differ significantly in their methods, mechanisms, and clinical applications. Today, we’ll be discussing vibroacoustic therapy (VAT), a type of sound therapy that uses low-frequency sound vibrations applied directly to the body to promote physical and emotional healing. The therapy may involve different devices that emit gentle sound frequencies, usually between 30–120 Hz, that create vibrations felt throughout the body. This type of sound therapy can be used alone or added to one of our customized treatment plans, depending upon your needs. Have questions? Want to learn more?

How Vibroacoustic Sound Therapy Works
The vibrations from vibroacoustic sound therapy stimulate cells, muscles, and tissues, helping to increase circulation, reduce muscle tension, and promote relaxation. At the same time, calming music or tones may play through headphones or speakers to enhance the therapeutic experience.

Who Might Benefit From Sound Therapy?
Vibroacoustic sound therapy is often used in clinical and wellness settings for individuals experiencing chronic pain, stress-related disorders, PTSD, muscle spasms, and various neurological challenges. It's generally considered non-invasive and safe for most people, though those with pacemakers or certain medical conditions should consult a healthcare provider first just to make sure it is the best option for their needs.
