Vibroacoustic therapy, a form of vibrational therapy, is any frequency that emits a measurable vibration. It utilizes restorative sounds and music, combined with vibroacoustic technology, to introduce raw frequencies into the body. This unique approach allows the sound to enter the body directly, bypassing the air and our ears. The precision of this direct entry through water ensures that we receive frequencies that promote our well-being with unparalleled accuracy. By utilizing sinusoidal vibrations between 0 and 500Hz with certain product transmitters, this therapy can bring about healing on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level within the body.
The history of vibroacoustic therapy is a testament to human innovation and compassion. It was during the 1970s and the late 1980s, with the evolution of modern technology, that vibroacoustic equipment was developed. Visionary individuals recognized the value of felt vibrations combined with the auditory effects of music or sound. Notably, Norwegian educator and therapist Olav Skille played a pivotal role in this journey. He experimented with low-frequency sounds between 20 and 120 Hz to generate vibrations for children with severe physical and mental handicaps. His work led to the development of the first VibroAcoustic Chair (Skille, Levanger, Norway) in the late 1980s, which utilized a pulsed, sinusoidal frequency as the sound source to generate vibrations blended with music for listening. This rich history is a testament to the power of vibroacoustic therapy. (Skille O. Manual of vibroacoustic therapy. Levanger, Norway: ISVA Publications, 1991).
Now for a bit of nostalgia. I invite you to think back to one of the most memorable concerts you’ve attended. Now, I’m sure there were many reasons why it could have created a core memory for you. But let’s focus on the feeling of the music. The vibrations emitted from the speakers reach your body, creating raw emotion that washes over you, tugging at your heart as you gleefully realize how happy you are in that moment to be receiving all that is. In a way, that is vibroacoustic therapy; the only difference is the mode of transportation and amplitude of the frequencies.
Vibroacoustic technology is a game-changer in the field of sound therapy. It enables the elimination of a key component in the transmission of sound waves, namely, air. By removing air from the equation, it provides a direct output to the water in the body. This unique approach creates a more potent solution in sound therapy practice, enhancing the effectiveness of vibroacoustic therapy.
An example of this is how whales and dolphins communicate underwater using echolocation. Both animals emit low-frequency sounds that bounce off surrounding objects, providing helpful information to one another. The speed of the sound increases due to the presence of water, resulting in greater velocity and definition.
Having this fundamental understanding of vibroacoustics plays an essential role in understanding the internal reconstruction of the body. This process involves the vibrational frequencies penetrating the body, stimulating cells and tissues, and promoting healing and relaxation. This is how healing occurs through the use of a vibroacoustic device, such as a pillow, bed, mat, or chair.
Make a life-changing decision to experience vibro-acoustic therapy and incorporate it into your holistic practice.
