About VAT

Vibroacoustic Therapy

What is it?
Vibroacoustic therapy (VAT) uses sound vibrations to massage the body. During the vibroacoustic therapy session, you will lie on the specially designed acoustic sound bed that is connected to my harp.
Specific frequencies are transmitted as vibrations which you absorb whilst relaxing.
The human body is over 70% water, sound travels 5 times more efficiently through water than through air. Sound frequency stimulation directly into the body produces body stimulation at a deep cellular level.
40 years of research in Europe and North America has evidenced that audio waves transmitted through a vibroacoustic bed have a very positive effect on the health systems of the body.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What happens in a session

You will be welcomed into the music clinic and asked to fill in a brief questionnaire highlighting what you would like to achieve in the session. The lights are dimmed, you relax fully clothed on the bed warmed under a heated blanket and then a full range of notes are played to determine which frequencies resound most fully with you.

Since the music which is then played is entirely dynamic and tailored just to you it is not a ‘performance’ of well known music but an improvisational soundscape aimed at specific conditions/pain relief or deep healing relaxation.

The session concludes with the sounding of hematite stone on a Japanese Tenorin Bell and a glass of water

Who Can Benefit

People of all ages and indeed pets too can benefit from this non-invasive safe treatment. For those people who do not enjoy a hands-on massage therapy VAHM can offer a wonderful healing alternative.

40 years of Research have shown Vibroacoustics are effective for:
  • Stimulating blood circulation and reducing blood pressure
  • Decreasing experience of Pain
  • Reducing stress
  • Addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of Pain
  • Reducing headaches, anxiety, fatigue and depression
  • Reducing hyperactivity
  • Changing of viscosity in phlegm in lungs
  • Deep massage of intestines (can result in correction of constipation)
  • Reducing stress-hormones (Cortisol, Beta-endorphin and ACTH)
  • Enhancement of communication (Autism)

How many sessions are needed

The causes of Pain and many of the conditions that require this type of therapeutic support are complex and vary greatly from person to person, many clients report an immediate symptom reduction after 1 treatment, repeated sessions often produce a cumulative effect especially with improved sleep patterns.

Are there any risks?

More than 40,000 hours of therapy have been provided to patients in Europe and USA. There is not a single report of any risk or mishap. However, some patients can experience nausea during the first couple of sessions.

Lying on the Sound bed was really lovely, I could feel the music going up and down my body and afterwards I felt much less stressed, I will be booking in regularly.

I found lying on the bed with the vibrations going through my body to be so relaxing, I didn’t expect it to feel so good. I can’t wait for my next session.
