Vibro-Acoustic Therapy often referred to as VAT is an advanced and innovative form of Sound/Music Therapy and “Energy Medicine”. Healing with sound may be as old or older than the human voice. The cutting edge of sound healing can be experienced in Vibroacoustic Sound Therapy. One scientific approach to sound therapy began in World War II when the US Veterans hospitals began to use music to help treat soldiers returning from the war. In 1944, Michigan State University established the first music therapy degree program in the world.

Vibroacoustic Therapy combines powerful vibrations of specially formulated relaxing music with the powerful vibrations of Pulsed Frequency Sine Waves (Pure Tones) beamed through the vibrotactile sound table.

Powerful vibrations penetrate and surround you as you relax on this sound table allowing you to “feel” the sound vibrations in your entire body as it radiates throughout the vibrotactile table. Such Vibroacoustic experience is not only relaxing and pleasurable but truly life enhancing and transforming.

Despite the fact that VAT is very new to Ireland, it is neither new to the world at large, nor unsubstantiated or unsupported by the scientific research. VAT is rapidly gaining big interest among people from all walks of life, due to its universal applications, effectiveness and non-invasive approach.

Vibro Acoustic Therapy Testimonials

I came with the physical pain (after the operation) and initially I was not relaxed. I had no idea what to expect. When the treatment began I gradually relaxed and allowed the music and vibrations to seep through my body. I felt so light, that I thought I was floating, and ache in my back was gone. I am feeling the benefits of it still.”

Bridie McHale (Boyle) 20th August 2008

“For me to experience the sound resonating through the body was like believing you are a ‘caterpillar’ and then suddenly understanding that there is the wonderous potential of a ‘butterfly’ living within!”
