We all know harsh, loud sounds can be bad for us. Anyone who has spent any length of time in the middle of a busy city or stuck in a room next to a booming party can attest to that. However, have you ever taken the time to consider that subtle, gentle vibrations can be scientifically created to help a body to relax and, in some cases, even heal.
VibroAcoustic therapy has been in use since the early 80’s, beginning mostly with special needs children as a way to help them relax more fully with the further results of ease of tension in spastic muscles, calmer demeanors, and even a reduction in pain levels. With advances in science, these humble beginnings have now advanced to the point where it is now possible to compose music to communicate directly with the body’s vegetative system. There is now music to ‘speak’ to dysmenhorrea, fibromyalgia, reducing blood pressure, relieving chronic pain (sciatica, arthritis, etc), to mention just a few. It has been known for sometime now that heard music has its main effect on systolic blood pressure. However, recent developments in studies of VAT have shown a positive trend on helping with diastolic blood pressure. Science is spending more time and money researching the effects of this amazing therapy.
In cancer patients, VAT has been helpful in relieving nausea, fatigue and anxiety. For those with back pain or arthritis, VAT can temporarily relieve pain and muscle tension. It appears that pain relief can be cumulative, meaning a series of sessions, thoughtfully planned out can help to lengthen the time of pain relief as opposed to taking just a single session.
VibroAcoustic therapy is an enjoyable experience. It helps to deeply relax people and take them ‘out of their minds’ for a short window of time. It helps to relieve pain and anxiety as well as helps to reduce muscle spasticity. Vibrational cell therapy does all of this without the harmful effects of drugs.
