Science
Ripl is the first wearable vibroacoustic (sound) therapy system that delivers the benefits of music and vibrations 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
