Here is a breakdown of the science behind VAT therapy: 

Physical Vibrations: VAT uses sound waves felt as vibrations transferred to the body with contact with the lounge.

​

Neurological Response: The vibrations stimulate nerve endings in the skin and muscles triggering a response, effecting the nervous system, musculoskeletal system, and circulatory system

.

Relaxation and Pain Reduction: VAT vibrations can help relax muscles, reduce tension, and alleviate pain. They may also promote the release of endorphines, which are​ natural pain-relieving chemicals in the body.

 

Mood and Stress: Some studies suggest that VAT can have positive effects on mood and stress levels. The vibrations may help reduce stress hormones like cortisol and promote feelings of calmness and well being.

​

Potential Mechanisms: While exact mechanisms behind VAT are still being studied, researchers propose several potential mechanisms. these include the modulation of neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and dopamine, triggered by the parasympathetic nervous system response, which play a role in mood regulation and pain perception.

 

VAT can be part of treatment plans for conditions like chronic pain, anxiety, stress-related disorders, sleep disturbances, circulation and lymph flow issues. It can also be a fun and unique way to pamper yourself. At the very least, you will end your session feeling relaxed, restored and rejuvenated!
