Vibroacoustic beds (sometimes referred to as vibroacoustic therapy – VAT) are devices which combine low-frequency music and vibrations with the aim of helping you relax. VAT activates your parasympathetic nervous system response – the network which calms and soothes the body after periods of stress – for maximum benefits.
While you lie reclining on your bed, precision frequencies, sound vibrations, and soft light work together to promote cognitive wellness, speed up physical recovery, and foster emotional regulation.
It’s like a symphony for your cells
As we prepare to celebrate this holiday season with twinkling lights, jovial cheer, and family gatherings, it is vital that both body and mind remain healthy and balanced. Travel, shopping, or everyday life stressors often increase during this busy period; but now there is an innovative technology called Vibroacoustic Audio Therapy (VAT) available that helps reduce anxiety levels while simultaneously improving cognitive well-being and speeding physical recovery. VAT uses noninvasive sound therapy combined with tactile vibrations.
VAT provides an effective therapeutic massage by employing low-frequency sound waves that resonate with cells of the body, creating the same sensation as deep tissue touch. Vibrations activate nerve fibers that communicate with nervous system for soothing effects while stimulating vagus nerve shift into parasympathetic mode promoting relaxation and relieving stress. Furthermore, sounds and vibrations stimulate large nerve pathways while blocking pain signals from smaller nerve fibers.
Tinted Salt uses a state-of-the-art vibroacoustic bed for unparalleled healing experiences, which blends auditory and haptic stimulation into one therapeutic session. Each track is meticulously tailored to deliver an experience with low frequency vibrations balanced against high frequency auditory stimulation, creating a deeply immersive journey both audible and felt; combined, they help promote relaxation amongst people of all ages.
It’s a non-invasive therapy
Vibroacoustic therapy is a noninvasive therapy that employs sound waves and vibration to relieve stress and relax the body, serving as an alternative to prescription medication. Already used by doctors as an effective noninvasive solution for pain, anxiety, depression and other issues; massage or acupuncture treatments may also be combined for enhanced results.
The vibroacoustic bed operates under the principle that everything in life vibrates, including our bodies. Sound and music have different frequencies which can be converted to vibrational stimulation for use within our bodies to promote health and create a state of healthy resonance.
At each session, patients lie on a mattress or chair that emits vibrations synchronized to relaxing music or sounds, reaching all layers of their tissues via mechanoreceptor cells (which detect touch) as well as other sources such as bass music. These vibrations allow cells to retrieve energy while also releasing hormones that promote relaxation and healing.
Research on vibroacoustic therapy has demonstrated its ability to both decrease psychological stress and augment other treatments. In one study, participants underwent vibroacoustic treatments before taking a 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) stress questionnaire; post-vibration sessions resulted in significantly reduced stress levels than pre-vibration.
Researchers attribute their finding to vibrations stimulating vagus nerve, which releases mood-enhancing neurotransmitters. According to researchers, this finding represents an advance in neuromodulation technology such as implantable devices or noninvasive approaches such as shivering therapy.
Vibroacoustic therapy offers many advantages to individuals of all ages. It can help alleviate everything from chronic stress and low mood to neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Furthermore, vibroacoustic therapy has even proven helpful for cancer survivors recovering from chemotherapy or surgery procedures; additionally it may even supplement other therapies like physical or emotional therapy and meditation sessions.
It’s an immersive experience
Music, chants and rhythm have long been used by various cultures worldwide to induce relaxation and meditative states. Modern vibroacoustic therapy builds upon this legacy by using technology that transmits therapeutic vibration waves directly into your body via sound beds – you are immersed in an ocean of frequencies designed to stimulate nervous systems while producing profound relaxation.
Vibroacoustic therapy, more commonly known as sound massage, offers an experience similar to that of traditional sound healing sessions but with deeper and more targeted benefits. Sound beds equipped with embedded transducers emitting low-frequency sound waves can penetrate all layers of tissues, organs and energy systems of your body for an experience unlike any other traditional sound healing session can offer. Furthermore, unlike regular sound healing sessions this therapy can also treat chronic as well as acute conditions.
Sound waves contain frequencies tailored to match up with individual neural patterns, helping your mind and body unwind. This non-invasive therapy can reduce stress, improve cognition, speed physical recovery and speed healing timeframes – providing relief for anxiety, insomnia or pain relief as well.
At Opal Spas, during a sound lounge experience you will occupy a fully clothed seat while your practitioner plays a customized sound frequency program to promote restfulness and calm the nervous system. Sound vibration and soft light work together to bring about restfulness; making this treatment safe, noninvasive, and highly restorative – one of the most sought after services and popular treatments offered at our Spas; perfect when combined with HydraFacial treatments or Himalayan stone massage for an immersive and holistic experience!
It’s a no-touch therapy
Soundbed therapy is a holistic wellness modality that utilizes audible sound frequencies combined with gentle vibrations to promote healing and relaxation. Vibrations delivered through devices, like beds, matts or cushions can help ease tension in the body while relaxing the mind and increasing blood flow – each individual can adapt the frequency to suit their specific needs – this therapy has long-lasting effects that can treat conditions like stress anxiety and sleep problems.
Vibroacoustic technology converts sonic vibrations to tangible sensations that users can both hear and feel. Vibro-tactile input activates nerve bundles along the spine and the medulla of the brain stem, signaling your body to release stress while flooding it with mood-lifting chemicals. Sonic vibrations also sync the resonant frequencies of groups of cells.
An immersive experience that relaxes body and mind is achieved through soundbed sessions, effectively relieving pain and reducing stress, as well as offering other therapies like acupuncture or massage to relieve both. Some wellness centers also provide soundbed sessions combined with guided meditation or aromatherapy for a truly restorative experience.
Many individuals seek a natural, non-invasive method for relaxing. With the increasing interest in sound-based wellness practices such as vibroacoustic therapy becoming a mainstream method for relaxation, more and more individuals are turning to this form of sound therapy to reduce stress, anxiety, depression and chronic pain – as well as improving sleep, digestion and circulation quality.
Though sound healing has only recently become mainstream, music has long been used for its soothing and wellbeing properties. Ancient Greeks used musical incantations to calm the mind while Egyptians believed sound could heal illnesses. Modern day sound therapy incorporates these age-old methods with cutting edge technologies for remarkable results.
Simply lie back and enjoy the soothing waves enveloping you – they’re transmitted via embedded speakers so you can hear and feel both simultaneously! Each sound carefully chosen to match up with the frequencies of your body helps connect you with inner peace for deeper levels of relaxation and connection with yourself.
