Science

Vibroacoustic, or sound, therapy is a safe, all natural modality that stimulates the body with the full spectrum of sound waves - auditory and tactile. We are building the first wearable headset that delivers vibroacoustic therapy to the brain.
​

Vibroacoustic therapy has been proven to*:

- Reduce stress
- Relieve anxiety
- Manage pain
- Increase range of motion
- Improve joint motion
- Stimulate blood flow
- Induce neurite growth
- Increase release of nitric oxide
- Activate muscles
- Enhance sleep
- Reduce muscle tension
- Improve balance
- Enhance mood
- Improve quality of life

- Reduce Parkinson's symptoms
- Reduce dementia
symptoms
- Reduce depression
