Vibroacoustic Therapy (VAT) is a non-invasive therapeutic approach that uses sound vibrations, typically delivered through specialized transducers embedded in a chair, mat, or bed, to stimulate the body and nervous system. These low-frequency sound waves resonate through the body, influencing cellular activity, relaxation responses, and neurophysiological processes.
Continued research and development is being conducted for each of the topics listed below, the result of which comes in the form of articles written to help educate and inform readers of the technology.
