A warm bath at home or a mud bath at the spa can be great ways to relax and destress, but if you’re looking to unwind and rejuvenate your mind and body, we have another type of bath to consider – the sound bath! A sound bath, also more commonly referred to as vibroacoustic therapy, is a holistic and noninvasive treatment technique that uses soundwaves and vibrations to help harmonize your body on a cellular level. Below, we take a closer look at the benefits of vibroacoustic therapy and explain why you should consider connecting with the team at HyperCharge Clinic for your next sound bath.
Vibroacoustic Therapy Benefits
Vibroacoustic therapy is a rejuvenation technique that uses different devices to convert sound frequencies into mechanical vibrations which are then projected into a person’s body through speakers or transducers. You may sit in a specialized chair or bed, or handheld equipment may be used to direct vibrations to a specific area of your body. These vibrations are throughout to stimulate nerves along the spine that feed into your brain, which has a physical impact on an area of your brain called the medulla.
The medulla is an important part of your brain because it’s where your circulatory and respiratory systems link. The medulla helps to control a variety of bodily functions, like heart rate, circulation, breathing and other automatic processes. It is also home to a number of crucial nerve connections. When vibration therapy is interpreted by the brain, it can have a positive effect on the medulla, helping to relax the body and leading to the production of mood-enhancing chemicals in the brain.
Because of the relaxing nature of vibroacoustic therapy and how it can help harmonize your brain and body, it can have a positive impact for people dealing with a variety of issues, including:
- Stress
- Chronic and acute pain
- Sleep disorders
- Hypertension
- Fibromyalgia
- Muscle tension
- Headaches
- ADHD/PTSD
Perhaps best of all, vibroacoustic therapy is a low cost and non-invasive treatment option. While treatments like corticosteroid injections and surgeries carry additional risks, there are virtually no potential drawbacks of vibroacoustic therapy (some patients, like those with pacemakers, may not be an ideal candidate for vibroacoustic therapy). If you are interested in harnessing the power of sound to harmonize your brain and your body on a cellular level, let the team at HyperCharge Clinic be your guide!
