vibroacoustic therapy

Therapy OVERVIEW

 

Vibroacoustic therapy (VAT) combines music + low-frequency vibration delivered through transducers embedded in a lounge or table to support relaxation and whole-body calming. Research on vibroacoustic stimulation shows promising effects for stress reduction and pain-related outcomes, though results vary and the field is still growing. 

 

At Recharge Danvers, this experience is delivered through the inHarmony Sound Lounge 3, which uses four tactile transducers, a 200-watt amplifier, and built-in high-fidelity speakers to create a full-body “sound massage” experience. 

 

WHY

 

People use vibroacoustic sound sessions for three main reasons:

  1. Stress downshift + nervous system calming
    Vibroacoustic stimulation has been studied for its ability to reduce stress-related measures (psychological + physiological indicators).

  2. Pain support + muscle tension release
    A large scoping review of vibroacoustic therapy in adults experiencing pain found growing clinical interest and reported outcomes supporting VAT as a potential adjunct for pain management (with a need for more standardized, high-quality trials).

  3. Mind-body regulation through music
    Independent of vibration, music-based interventions are widely used in clinical settings to support relaxation, mood regulation, anxiety reduction, and perceived pain relief. 

 

RECOMMENDED

 

 

Great for:

  • Anyone wanting a reset session for stress, overwhelm, or nervous-system “noise”

  • People looking for recovery support (especially when tension and stress are driving soreness)

  • Those who enjoy music-driven relaxation but want a stronger body-based effect via vibration

 

Use extra caution / check with a clinician first if you have: an implanted medical device (e.g., pacemaker), seizure disorder, pregnancy, or a condition where vibration/strong sensory input is not advised.

 

HOW OFTEN

 

Simple, effective cadence options:

  • Daily “nervous system reset”: 10–20 minutes when stress is high

  • Recovery support: 3–5 sessions/week

  • Maintenance: 1–2 sessions/week

There’s no “one perfect frequency.” The best results tend to come from consistency and choosing a session length you can sustain.

 

BENEFITS

 

What clients commonly report (and what research suggests is plausible):

  • Faster relaxation response (downshifting stress)

  • Reduced perceived tension and pain (as a complementary wellness tool)

  • Mood support + emotional regulation through music-based pathways 

  • Better readiness for sleep (especially when used as an evening wind-down) 

 

RESULTS

 

Vibroacoustic sessions are best positioned as a state-change therapy: you’ll often feel the impact immediately(calmer, looser, “lighter”), with compounding benefits as sessions become routine. Research on vibroacoustic stimulation shows measurable improvements in stress-related outcomes in controlled settings, and evidence syntheses suggest potential for pain support—while also emphasizing that protocols vary and more research is needed. 

Music-based clinical programs (in major medical centers) also support the broader use of music for comfort, stress reduction, coping, and quality-of-life support. 

 

SUMMARY

 

Vibroacoustic Sound Therapy is a modern, research-informed way to combine music + therapeutic vibration to help your body shift out of “fight-or-flight” and into a calmer, more regulated state. It’s ideal for stress relief, tension release, and recovery support—and it pairs well with other modalities when your goal is to feel better fast and build resilience over time. 

Note: on “healing frequencies” (174 Hz / 963 Hz, etc.): these claims are popular online, but they’re not established medical facts. The stronger science-based framing is: sound + vibration can influence relaxation, stress markers, and perceived pain, and personal preference (music you like) often matters. 

 

backed by evidence

therapy OVERVIEW

Vibroacoustic therapy is a new sound technology that uses audible sound vibrations to reduce symptoms, invoke relaxation, and alleviate stress. This technology is developed based on the recognition that external vibration can influence body function. Research demonstrates the effectiveness of vibroacoustic therapy.

WHY

Why would you do vibroacoustic therapy?  Vibroacoustic Therapy, or VAT, is essentially a deep tissue low-frequency sound massage using audio waves in the range of 30Hz-120 Hz that are being transmitted to the body by embedded transducers in the bed. The sound gently permeates the cells allowing massage from inside as well as out.

 

RECOMMENDED

Who is vibroacoustic therapy recommended for?  Vibroacoustic sound therapy is recommended for all customers regardless of age.

HOW OFTEN

How often should you vibroacoustic therapy?  We recommend vibroacoustic therapy everyday or as often as possible.

 

BENEFITS

What are the benefits?  Vibroacoustic sound therapy can re-tune your body, mind and spirit, encouraging relaxation, healing and wellness. This combination of tones and vibrations that produce a state of tranquility and act as a massage for the nervous system.

 

RESULTS

What are the results of vibroacoustic therapy?  Biomedical researchers have found that music is a highly structured auditory language involving complex perception, cognition, and motor control in the brain, and thus it can effectively be used to retrain and reeducate the injured brain.  The lowest recognized solfeggio frequency is 174 Hz, also known as the healing frequency. It has the greatest impact on the body and physical health, rather than spiritual or mental health.

 

SUMMARY

 What does this help to improve?  What is the significance of the number 963 as the God frequency? 963 Hz, or the Frequency of the Gods, is a frequency that is commonly referred to as a pineal gland activator. It aids in the removal of brain fog and the improvement of clarity in our thought process.
