Experience deep relaxation and rejuvenation with the inHarmony Sound Lounge 2, where vibroacoustic therapy harmonizes your body and mind through soothing, resonant vibrations.
$35/SESSION
$295/10-PACK
Vibroacoustic therapy (VAT) utilizes low-frequency sound waves, typically between 30 Hz to 120 Hz, to deliver soothing vibrations directly to the body. At Alive and Well, these vibrations are transmitted through the InHarmony Sound Lounge 2, which is equipped with specially designed speakers or transducers embedded in a comfortable recliner. Users lie down or sit on this advanced device to experience the therapeutic vibrations.
The core idea behind VAT is that these direct vibrations stimulate body tissues, promoting a range of therapeutic benefits such as relaxation, pain relief, improved blood circulation, and reduced muscle tension and stress. This makes it an effective complementary therapy for various ailments including arthritis, fibromyalgia, back pain, and anxiety.
Vibroacoustic therapy operates on the principle that every part of the body—including cells and organs—has a natural resonant frequency. By delivering sound waves that resonate with these frequencies through the InHarmony Sound Lounge 2, the therapy seeks to restore the body’s balance and enhance overall health.
irrelevant
Vibroacoustic therapy (VAT) involves the use of low-frequency sound waves to produce vibrations that are applied directly to the body, which can promote relaxation and pain relief.
VAT uses sound waves typically between 30 Hz and 120 Hz to stimulate the body’s cells with gentle vibrations. This can enhance blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and stimulate the production of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers.
During a VAT session, individuals typically feel gentle vibrations throughout their body. Most people find the experience extremely relaxing and soothing.
Sessions can vary depending on the practitioner and the client’s needs but the standard session at Alive and Well is 20 minutes.
Benefits can include pain relief, stress reduction, improved sleep, better circulation, muscle relaxation, enhanced mood, and increased joint flexibility.
VAT is generally considered safe and non-invasive with minimal to no side effects. However, as with any therapy, individuals with certain medical conditions should consult a healthcare provider before beginning treatment.
VAT can benefit a wide range of individuals, including those suffering from chronic pain, anxiety, stress, arthritis, and muscle tension, as well as those seeking enhanced relaxation and well-being.
Acupuncture is a type of traditional Chinese medicine that’s been around for about 2,500 years. It’s used to support wellness and improve overall mental and physical well-being. The acupuncturist places needles into specific points on the skin to help activate an energy in the body, called qi. According to traditional Chinese medicine, qi is the lifeforce energy in the body — it helps regulate and move things in the body to keep us well. Stress, environmental factors, lifestyle behaviors, and genetics are some of the things that can block qi in the body. The needles help to unblock or move qi to other areas in the body to help support wellness.
Acupuncture needles are solid, stainless steel needles that are usually not much larger than a strand of hair. Acupuncture needles are placed at a very shallow depth and go between tissues, making them less painful than a typical injection.
You might be more sensitive in certain areas, but acupuncture shouldn’t hurt. If you feel pain, tell your acupuncturist. They’ll adjust the needles or choose other points. Their goal is not to make you feel pain. They do a lot of work to position you properly and make sure you feel comfortable.
Indeed you can do acupuncture or massage while pregnant. It is safe and our practitioners are very well versed in how to treat pregnant women. Please let us know when you book a treatment if you are pregnant and how far along you are.
