Vibroacoustic Therapy
What is Vibroacoustic Therapy?
Vibroacoustic Therapy (VAT) is a safe, non-invasive approach.png)
to reducing pain and stress to improve your quality of life through a combination of vibrations and music. During the VAT process, the client lies down on the mat that is embedded with speakers and transducers which transmits sound into vibrations that travel through the body, fostering deep relaxation and emotional release. In my Jaw Zen Therapies studio, I have a Practitioner 2 mat from inHarmony that lays on top of the massage table, creating a multisensory experience of vibrations and music to relieve stress, reduce pain, and enhance your overall well-being!
