What is vibrational resonance therapy (VRT)?

The human body is an amazing machine, capable of incredible feats of strength and endurance. However, sometimes it can fall out of balance, leading to pain and ill health. One way to restore balance and harmony within the body is through vibrational resonance therapy (VRT). VRT uses vibration to encourage the body to heal itself and return to a state of optimal health.

There are many benefits of VRT, including reduced stress levels, reduce pain levels and even helping to improve mood. It is a safe and effective way to improve whole-body health, and it can be used individually or as a complementary add-on therapy inside a selection of Clearlight® Infrared Saunas. In this article, we will explore the health benefits of VRT, what it is and how you can incorporate it into your sauna session.

The many benefits of vibrational resonance therapy (VRT)

VRT is a form of sound healing or sound bath that uses sound waves to restore balance and harmony within the body. Sound healing therapy can be used to treat a variety of health conditions, both physical and emotional, and is thought to work by affecting the meridians and energy pathways within the body. It is primarily used by a trained practitioner to affect the autonomic nervous system for personal growth. VRT is best explained as a combination of sound therapy, music therapy, and whole-body vibration therapy - all of which are very similar yet slightly different.

Keywords to understand - sound, frequency, vibration and resonance.

Sound is what we hear when vibrations travel through the air and are picked up by our ears. Frequency refers to how often something happens, or how many times it repeats in a certain amount of time. Vibration is the movement or oscillation of energy within a substance. When two objects vibrate at the same frequency, they create resonance. This is why sound waves can cause things to vibrate – because they create a resonance between the object and the air around it.

What is sound healing?

Sound healing is a centuries-old technique that uses specific frequencies and sounds to heal the body. The human body is capable of absorbing and responding to vibration, and sound healing harnesses this natural ability to affect the vagus nerve with healing vibrations.

Although some people may be sceptical of its effectiveness, there is a growing body of evidence to support the use of vibration therapy for a variety of conditions. The application of healing frequencies has shown promising results in animal studies for wound and bone healing, while for psychiatric issues, there have been promising results in both human studies and animal studies on the frequency of the effect on anxiety, depression and aggression.

What is music therapy?

Music therapy is the use of music to trigger an emotional response to achieve a certain goal. The goal can be anything from well-being to lowering blood pressure. Some practitioners claim that music therapy can boost morale and even cure mental disorders, however, studies on this are scarce. One of the benefits of music therapy is that it can be tailored to the specific needs of each individual.

What is the difference between music therapy and sound healing?

the difference between the two is that music therapy uses a cacophony of frequencies and harmonies that trigger an emotional response, and is primarily used to treat a variety of mental disorders.

Sound healing, on the other hand, is the use of sound waves - such as the solfeggio frequencies - using a variety of tools, such as Tibetan singing bowls, vocal toning and binaural beats, to restore well-being within the body.

What is whole-body vibration?

Whole-body vibration is when the entire body is exposed to vibrations. These vibrations cause a release of endorphins to improve mood, reduce stress, and promote relaxation. It is also used with the elderly to promote tendon, ligament and muscle strength, as well as bone density.

The effects of vibration for healing, have also been well documented, helping with Parkinson's disease and psoriasis and neurodermatitis. A 2014 study found that participants who were subject to vibrational therapy pre-workout had significantly less muscle soreness 24hrs, 48hrs, and 72hrs post-workout.

What is vibrational resonance therapy (VRT)?

Vibrational resonance therapy incorporates these three principles of healing into one.

It is the application of frequencies to be felt as vibrations, which create resonance with the human cells. Incorporating VRT in your sauna allows for deeper relaxation, muscle stimulation and further control over the autonomic nervous system.

How does vibrational resonance therapy work in your sauna?

Two Clearlight® Saunas VRT devices are connected to the underside of your sauna bench. The devices connect with high-quality speakers inside the sauna and are activated by Bluetooth. You can then choose to listen to music or sounds - depending if you prefer a sound bath or music therapy - and the devices release those frequencies through the bench and into the body. These frequencies and harmonies interact with the energy pathways of the body for vibrational resonance to occur.

What are the benefits of vibrational resonance therapy?

VRT is non-invasive, does not require any medication, has no known side effects and has many potential benefits, including:

• Reducing stress and anxiety

• Improving sleep quality

• Supporting mood regulation

• Wound and bone healing

• Reducing pain

• Enhancing cognitive function

• Supporting muscle recovery

• Strengthening the immune system

Now that we have a broader understanding of the principles behind VRT and how the device works, let's take a look at its oldest form, sound healing.
