VAT is a form of sound treatment that uses a device with built-in speakers to send low-frequency sine wave vibrations into the body. Olav Skille created this therapy in Norway in the 1980s, and it has since become well-known as a successful alternative treatment for a variety of illnesses.
The foundation of Vibroacoustic Therapy is physics and psychophysiology. VAT is sometimes referred to as music therapy or sound therapy.
How It Works?
Utilizing specialized equipment, this therapy applies low-frequency vibrations to the body. Furniture such as beds, chairs, mats, and cushions can be used to deliver this therapy. Music is sent to the transducers in the furniture, which convert it into vibrations that the human body can sense. The vibratory input that results is a type of tactile stimulation that can improve general well-being, reduce pain, and encourage relaxation.
The Setup
You must select the right furnishings and equipment in order to create a therapy setting. The equipment should be simple to operate, and the furnishings should be cozy and supportive. Establishing a calm and serene setting is also crucial because stillness can amplify the therapeutic benefits of the treatment.
Choice Of Music
It is crucial to pick music that suits the needs and tastes of the patient when deciding what to play during treatment. The therapeutic effects of the therapy can be significantly impacted by the music’s frequency and pace. Particularly useful for fostering relaxation and easing discomfort is low-frequency music.
Benefits To Physical Health
VAT can ease physical rehabilitation, increase mobility, and lessen pain. VAT’s low-frequency vibrations have the ability to deeply enter organs and tissues, offering a natural means of promoting healing and lowering inflammation. Additionally, VAT can ease tight muscles, lessen spasms, and ease tension, all of which contribute to general pain alleviation and relaxation.
Advantages For Mental Health
VAT is applicable in lowering the signs of depression caused by stress and anxiety. VAT’s general soothing effects promote the activation of certain hormones and neurotransmitters that quiet the body and mind, improving muscular relaxation and pain alleviation. VAT can enhance general mood and well-being and lessen symptoms of stress such as headaches, exhaustion, and insomnia.
