Vibroacoustic Therapy (VAT)
Healing Through Sound and Vibrations
Vibroacoustic Therapy (VAT) is a treatment that utilizes vibrations applied directly to the body. It was first explored in the 1970s by Norwegian music therapist Olav Skille, who discovered that low-frequency sound vibrations from his bass guitar had calming and therapeutic effects on children with autism.
This breakthrough led to the development of specialized equipment that delivers low-frequency vibrations directly to the body, which has since been used to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and support physical and emotional well-being. Think of it as an “internal massage” that communicates directly with your body’s natural rhythms.
“It’s like getting a full body massage, but all the way down through your cells!”
Potential Benefits

The vibrations calm the nervous system, easing the rush of thoughts and guiding you into a meditative or light-sleep state.
Improvement in Chronic Pain
Penetrating beyond traditional massage, VAT targets deep tissues to relieve persistent soreness, as seen in studies on Parkinson’s and muscle pain.
Relief of Anxiety and Depression
By communicating with your body’s rhythms, it lifts emotional weight, offering clarity and calm validated in mental health settings.
Reduction of PTSD
The tactile sound experience soothes overactive stress responses, helping rewire trauma-related tension, a benefit noted in addiction recovery contexts.
