FAQ:

​

WHAT IS VIBROACOUSTIC THERAPY (VAT):

VAT uses low frequency (wave range: 30Hz-120Hz) sound to soothe the body and help the healing process.

​

Isnt' VIBROACOUSTIC THERAPY just like a massage chair?

No. In a massage chair or similar device, the parts of the chairs physically move. This movement provides massage sensation due to the contact with part of your body. In VAT, the massage is provided via low frequency sounds waves that harmlessly penetrate your body to soothe and heal the insides of your body.

​

How does VIBROACOUSTIC THERAPY work?

A VAT device (like specially designed VAT massage table) is embedded with carefully calibrated vibration speakers. The speakers produce soothing healing vibrations when specially designed programs are played through an amplifier.

ABOUT MR. OLAV SKILLE: 

​

Mr. Skille, a Norwegian educator and music therapist, has pioneered vibroacoustic therapy research and continues his earlier seminal work as part of the VIBRAC centre’s core group. Even though VAT was developed already 30 years ago, many have re-invented and re-designed his earlier models, showing that his earlier investigations into low-frequency vibrations have been important in the development of integrative medicine and music in medicine.
