How Vibroacoustic Therapy Works

VibroAcoustic Therapy is the easiest and most gentle room at Deep. In a nutshell, our Liquid Sound Tables are waterbeds with powerful speakers embedded in them that massage you with healing frequencies. Think of a car with powerful bass, but more subtle, and playing long waves of vibration that are designed to help you relax & heal.

On our Liquid Sound Tables the vibrations resonate from the water in the table, into the body (which is approximately 60% water). When sound waves travel through water they are five times more efficient than when they travel through air, and this concordant interaction is what makes vibroacoustic therapy an excellent way to achieve deep cellular stimulation, affecting receptors that suppress pain impulses and trigger relaxation & healing.

VibroAcoustic Therapy, or VAT, has been studied by researchers worldwide including the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NIH reports the benefits of using VAT for Parkinson’s, PTSD, anxiety, physical injuries, brain function, COPD, Asthma and much more. 

Some known benefits from other studies of VAT include: 

Increase sleep quality

Reduce effects of stress

Address PTSD /somatic symptoms

Regulate the limbic system (emotional memories)

Activate the Relaxation Response

Reduce anxiety and muscle pain or spasms

Shorten healing periods/increase circulation


What should I expect for my VibroAcoustic Session?

Once you are checked in at Deep a team member will guide you to the back of our facility where our VibroAcoustic room is. There are two liquid sound tables in this room, a chair, a fan, and heavy curtains over the locked sliding glass doors which lead to the back of our building. You may dress down to your comfort level and get below the sheets, or remove only your shoes and lay on top. A weighted blanket and an eye pillow are available if you like. From here you simply relax and let the frequencies resonate through you. It usually takes about 20 minutes for the relaxation response to begin in the body.

Clients report feeling many pleasant sensations. Abstract thinking slows and body and mind awareness expands. Some people experience a dream-like, or deep meditative state. Others fall asleep, report seeing colors, experience clarity and new insight and feel relief of pain or symptoms.

At the end of your session the music will stop, at which time you can get dressed and come back to the front lobby to check out.

“I am amazed by how beneficial the vibroacoustic sessions have been for my sleep and general health. My response to the first session was “Eh. It was okay, but nothing to make a fuss over.” To my great surprise, that night was the first time in years I’d slept like I did as a child – a deep dark, totally restful, “dreamless” interlude from which I awoke feeling truly recharged. I went for a second session, and found that even the session itself was restorative - so much so that I fell asleep for a good portion of it. Ditto all the sessions since then. I only wish I could have one of these at home!”

Frequently Asked Questions about VibroAcoustic Therapy

Q: What is the difference between vat + music, and just vat by itself?

The VAT musical compositions blend many of the different VAT frequencies along with musical intonations for a more guided approach to listening. Whether you choose music or no music it will be a relaxing and sometimes hypnotic experience and you really can’t go wrong with what you choose.

Q: there are too many choices, what should i pick?

If none of the choices jump out at you, here are some of our non-specific favorites:

  • PTSD

  • Pelvic Support

  • Deep Inner Peace (Music + VAT)

  • 7 Chakras

  • First Responders (Music + VAT)

  • Conscious Flight (Music + VAT)

  • Endocrine System

Q: will there be anyone in the room with me or us?

The session is private, so once you go into the room we will not interrupt you unless you fall asleep and aren’t responding to the wake up cues for 5 minutes after your session is over. There are two liquid sound tables in the room and the only time they are both in use is when two people book the room together, we will not put a stranger in there with you.

Q: how much time should i plan for a session?

Unlike most of our services here, VibroAcoustic Therapy does not require you to get wet or naked. You may choose to get in as few clothes as you like, or no clothes, and get between the bottom sheets. Or you may stay clothed and lay on top of all the blankets or under the weighted blanket only. So the total amount of time you are at deep for a VAT session will be just a few minutes on both sides of your appointment for checking in and using the restroom and stuff like that.
