Sound Beds
What Is a Sound Bed? Exploring Vibroacoustic Therapy and Its Benefits
If you’ve ever felt the calming power of music, imagine taking that to the next level where sound doesn’t just move through your ears, but through your entire body.
That’s the essence of vibroacoustic therapy, a powerful therapeutic modality delivered through a sound bed, which is a therapeutic platform that uses low-frequency sound vibrations and music to stimulate the body and nervous system from the inside out.
How It Works: The Science of Vibroacoustic Therapy
Vibroacoustic therapy uses specially calibrated low-frequency sound waves (typically between 30-120 Hz) that are converted into mechanical vibrations. These gentle pulses travel through the sound bed and into your body, targeting muscles, organs, and even brainwave activity.
The science behind it shows that vibroacoustic therapy may help:
-Reduce stress by shifting your brain into slower, more relaxed states (like alpha or theta waves)
-Lower heart rate and blood pressure
-May help decrease pain by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system and reducing muscle tension
-Improve mood by increasing dopamine and endorphins
-Enhance cellular healing through increased circulation and lymphatic flow
Research has explored its use in pain management, anxiety reduction, trauma recovery, and even in palliative care settings.
How and When to Use It
As a standalone tool, vibroacoustic therapy is excellent for:
-Deep relaxation and stress relief
-Meditation and mindfulness support
-Emotional processing and nervous system regulation
-Chronic pain and muscle tension
You can book a session to simply unwind, reset your nervous system, or complement your broader wellness plan.
Pairing It With Other Therapies
At Evergood, we integrate the sound bed into our holistic care offerings.
It’s especially powerful when paired with:
-Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAT):
-Before treatment: The sound bed helps quiet the mind, regulate breathing, and ease anxiety—priming you for a more open and grounded experience.
-After treatment: As the psychedelic effects taper, the sound bed helps extend the window of reflection and integration, allowing your nervous system to process the session in a calm, supported state.
-IV Vitamin Therapy:
Combine vibroacoustic therapy with an IV drip for a restorative experience that nourishes both body and mind. The sound bed can enhance the parasympathetic response, making your IV session feel like a true reset.
