how vibroacoustic therapy helps in stress management

 Every organ, bone, and virtually every cell in your body vibrates at its own resonant frequency. Together, these individual frequencies create a composite frequency similar to that of a symphony orchestra. When an organ in your body is out of tune, it can negatively impact the health of your entire system. 

 During a Vibroacoustic Therapy (VAT) session, sound waves are programmed at specific frequencies to create an internal massage at the cellular level. This method gently stimulates organs deep within the body that traditional techniques cannot reach, such as nerves, glands, the heart, lungs, deep-lying blood vessels, myofascial tissues, and brain tissue, through sound vibrations. VAT facilitates direct communication with the nervous system, bones, muscle tissue, and bodily fluids. As each sound wave penetrates the body, it transforms into vibrations that are absorbed as energy, influencing these various physiological components.   

While individuals consciously perceive the VAT experience as relaxing, its primary physical effect is the introduction of subtle mechanical stress to the body. This can be likened to the effect of exercise—such as running or cycling—where stress is applied to the body, leading to a subsequent feeling of relaxation and well-being. This is why some people experience a “runner’s high” after a VAT session.   

During the session, the brain begins producing stress hormones. By stimulating the body with vibrational sound, we positively influence the production of hormones like Beta-Endorphin, ACTH, and Cortisol. The peak in stress hormone levels typically occurs around 15 minutes into the session. This aspect of VAT is particularly beneficial for individuals who are unable to exercise due to physical limitations or who are confined to beds or wheelchairs. The stimulation provided by VAT acts as a substitute for the physical movement that usually triggers the release of these hormones. It can also be impactful for those with neurological challenges, such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, or similar conditions.  

Vibroacoustic therapy also stimulates the vital communication pathway between the brain and the rest of the body, known as the Vagus Nerve. When the vagus nerve is not functioning properly and is insufficiently stimulated, communication between the brain and body can be impaired, leading to issues with digestion, sleep, and stress response.  After utilizing vibrational sound therapy, most people report feelings of total relaxation, improved overall function, balance, and a sense of lightness.   

A particularly significant long-term benefit of using Vibroacoustics to enter the relaxation response is that it helps individuals learn to recognize states of relaxation. Over time, people can become more adept at achieving relaxation at will, reinforcing relaxation as a daily habit.
