A groundbreaking study from Kyoto University has revealed that human cells can directly sense and respond to sound waves. In controlled experiments, researchers exposed cultured cells to sound at around 94 decibels — similar to the noise of a lawnmower. They found that mechanosensitive proteins within the cells activated, leading to genetic and structural changes. Interestingly, different types of cells responded in unique ways, hinting at a complex biological relationship between sound and cellular function.

This discovery opens the door to potential medical applications, including sound-based therapies that could promote healing or influence gene expression without drugs or surgery. It also highlights how environmental noise might affect human health at the cellular level, offering a new perspective on the biological impact of sound in daily life. Scientists believe this emerging field of “acoustic biology” could transform both medicine and our understanding of human physiology.

When you choose to participate in a healing therapy that helps your body develop new, more efficient patterns, it can take time for those changes to become your body’s default. That’s why we refer to these approaches as training.

Think of it like starting a new workout routine or switching to a healthier diet. Doing it a few times might feel good—but will it create lasting change? Probably not. Sustainable results come from commitment, consistency, and a long-term mindset—not from a quick fix.

The same is true for therapies like Neurofeedback and VAT. These are training-based therapies. They support your system in learning and reinforcing a new way of functioning. You’re not just experiencing a temporary shift—you’re teaching your body and brain to maintain a new state of being.

In a surprising breakthrough, scientists have discovered that human cells can actually hear sound and respond to it. Research shows that certain cells detect vibrations and convert them into biological signals, influencing their behaviour and function.

This groundbreaking finding challenges previous assumptions that cells operate independently of auditory cues, revealing a previously unknown layer of communication within the body. Cells exposed to specific sound frequencies demonstrated changes in gene expression, growth patterns, and even signalling pathways, suggesting sound could one day be used to influence health at a cellular level.

The discovery opens exciting possibilities for medicine and biotechnology. Future therapies could harness sound waves to promote healing, improve cellular function, or even target diseases with unprecedented precision. Scientists are now exploring how different types of sound affect various cell types and how this knowledge could lead to non-invasive treatments.

Understanding that our cells can “hear” may revolutionise the way we approach health and disease, offering innovative tools for therapies and preventive medicine. The human body may be more attuned to its environment than we ever imagined.

PMS? Menstrual pain? Dysmennorhea? Heavy menstruation?

Sound therapy like VAT has proven to have great results in alleviating discomfort through your cycle.
It can help with pain, migraines, cramping, reduced flow and mood swings!

Having a few treatments before your menstruation starts can set you up for success! Or alternatively, if your cycle has started and you are in pain, VAT can reduce your discomfort!

It’s worth trying!

Painful menstrual periods, aka dysmenorrhea, is the most common gynecologic disorder in women and folks with a womb during their reproductive years. While this may sound alarming, painful periods may happen in the absence of any underlying or serious condition. In fact, about 40 to 90% of women expe...

Acupuncture and VAT!
 
Did you know energetically VAT works much like acupuncture? Sound can pe*****te much deeper into the body than needles and some believe it is more effective than needles!

Our bodies are composed mainly of water, so these sound vibrations set the water into motion at a deep cellular level, reverberating throughout the entire body.  The molecules begin reacting and communicating with each other, leading to sense of deep relaxation and a more balanced and healthier state of being!

It is also believed that the resonance of the sound also flows through all the meridian lines stimulating health and a balancing of chi (qi) as it goes.

So for those of you missing Melissa Wu, maybe consider trying VAT as an alternative to her treatments and see what you think!

A clinical study done by Lee Bartel, Lili Naghdi, and Heidi Ahonen has shown that Vibroacoustic therapy applied at 40hz for 23 minutes twice a week for 5 weeks has a beneficial and significant effect on reducing pain, increasing quality of sleep, decreasing muscle tension and decreasing mood related symptoms like anxiety and depression for people with Fibromyalgia.

Do you suffer from symptoms of Fibromyalgia? If so, we would love to help you feel if VAT works for you!

Why do you ask, are we offering treatments such as Craniosacral Therapy, Neurofeedback and Vibroacoustic Therapy at our clinic? Because we believe in the power of the body to be able to heal itself. We believe that by creating coherence and harmony in all systems and cells in the body we are providing the optimal environment for the body to stimulate its own healing capacities. It’s not that our bodies aren’t capable of healing, it is that when our systems stop working in coherence they forget how to get back on track. Whether it be a lack of heart-brain coherence in mental and emotional health or physical symptoms such as pain or disease, these issues tell us we are out of sync. That our bodies are out of coherence. Craniosacral Therapy, Neurofeedback and Vibroacoustic Therapy all teach and train the systems of our bodies to start working together again. Healing is a process, not a quick fix. Relearning how to have all your systems of the body working in harmony again for optimal function takes time. We believe that time is well worth the investment!

What can Vibroacoustic Therapy do for you? Every organ, bone and virtually every “cell” in your body vibrates at its own resonate frequency. Together, they make up a composite frequency not unlike that of a symphony orchestra. When an organ in your body is out of tune, it can affect the health of your entire body!
Your body is comprised of approximately 70% water and therefore soundwaves easily vibrate through it. Since our bodies naturally seek the most efficient vibration, it takes far less energy to vibrate at the correct frequency than the incorrect one. Therefore VAT teaches your body to work optimally and efficient once again!

Pure Vibroacoustic Therapy (pureVAT) uses a single specific frequency to address specific, well researched conditions in the body to help alleviate pain, tension, circulation, or lymphatic drainage. It does this by encouraging all the cells in the area of concern to harmonize with the applied frequency. This harmonization reminds the cells of the body to essentially “wake up” and start functioning efficiently again. The more our bodies are in tune, so to speak, the healthier we will feel!
