Vibroacoustic therapy is a type of sound therapy that uses low-frequency sound waves, transmitted through unique massage tables with embedded speakers, to create a therapeutic experience. It can be used as a standalone session or integrated with massage sessions. The therapy is designed to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being by stimulating the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
