Sound Oasis Vts-2000 Vibroacoustic Therapy System Instruction Manual

Vibroacoustic Therapy has been proven to have positive effects
on circulation, temporary pain relief, increased mobility, and
various other medical ailments. The therapy system delivers precise
therapeutic vibration frequencies to the body, providing massage
therapy to muscles and joints that hand/mechanical massage cannot
reach. It operates within the frequency range of 20 Hz to 100 Hz,
aligning with the body’s energy channels.

Clinical studies have shown several benefits resulting from
vibroacoustic therapy, including improved circulation, temporary
pain relief, increased mobility, and relaxation.

The brain responds to sounds it hears. The Vibroacoustic Therapy
System Plus utilizes nature, music, and therapy sounds with Delta,
Alpha, or Theta brainwaves to induce states of sleep, relaxation,
or renewal.

Through brainwave entrainment, the therapy system coaxes the
brain to match the frequencies of the played sounds, resulting in
states of sleep, relaxation, or renewal.

The Unique Benefits of Vibroacoustic Therapy
What is Vibroacoustic Therapy? Vibroacoustic therapy is the use of low frequency vibrations to stimulate body cells into therapeutic states of relaxation and healing . With this Sound Oasis® Vibroacoustic Therapy System Plus, we include sound therapy that provides soothing music and clinically proven brainwave entrainment for additional stress reduction, relaxation and healing .
Why is Vibroacoustic Therapy so effective? The cells in your body respond to vibrations that they feel . Clinical studies throughout the world have proven the positive effects of vibration on circulation, temporary pain relief, increased mobility and many other medical ailments (please refer to Table A on page 6) .

Acoustic

Your Sound Oasis Vibroacoustic Therapy System Plus delivers precise therapeutic vibration frequencies to your body that massagers alone cannot provide .
Sound penetrates deeper. Vibroacoustic Therapy provides massage therapy to muscles and joints that hand/mechanical massage can not reach . For comparison purposes, ultrasound is a well known and accepted sound technology for viewing tissue inside a body and it operates at 20 KHz + (please see Graph A below) .
Vibroacoustic Therapy frequencies correspond to key brainwave activities. Vibroacoustic Therapy functions at 20 Hz to 100 Hz, the same frequency range that the body’s energy channels operate at . We can bring these energy channels into healthy alignment with Vibroacoustic Therapy .
Vibroacoustic Therapy provides sensual stimulation. Like hand/mechanical massage, Vibroacoustic Therapy aids circulation, relaxes muscles and feels good .

Why is Sound Therapy so Effective?
Your brain responds to sounds that it hears . Your Sound Oasis Vibroacoustic Therapy System Plus plays back nature, music and therapy sounds with Delta, Alpha or Theta brainwaves to coax your brain to match these frequencies, thus entering states of sleep, relaxation or renewal .
7

The Scientific Breakthrough of Sound Therapy with Brainwave Entrainment
All of us experience differenct states of consciousness throughout our daily lives . Some states are frequent ­ like ordinary waking consciousness, sleep and dreaming ­ while others are less frequent states such as when we are particularly aware or extra creative . All of these states exhibit a unique pattern of brainwaves that have been mapped and measured over the years by many experts, including Dr . Lee Bartel .
By understanding the variety of brainwaves that occur during these different states, Dr . Bartel has been able to develop sounds, music and techniques that cause your brain to produce the state that you want to experience . Totally safe and clinically proven, this work has helped millions of people sleep better, relax easier and think more effectively .
One technique commonly used by Dr . Bartel is “entrainment” . This naturally derived technique is the tendency of our brainwaves to adjust to our sound environment so they vibrate in harmony (for example, two pendulum clocks mounted side by side on the same wall will gradually start to swing at the same rate as they become “entrained”) . The principle is universal and found in chemistry, pharmacology, biology, medicine, psychology, sociology, astronomy, architecture and more .
Your Sound Oasis Vibroacoustic Therapy System Plus incorporates these effective techniques.

Delta Waves (0.5 – 4.0 Hz) Delta waves are associated with the deepest levels of physical relaxation . Delta is the rhythm of dreamless sleep and its presence usually corresponds with physical rejuevenation and healing .
Theta Waves (4.0 – 7.0 Hz) Theta waves reflect a state of mind that is attuned to intense creativity, visualization, imagination, and subconscious problem solving in a non-sleep state and emotional healing in the sleep state . Theta waves are produced during deep meditation, dreaming and daydreaming .
Alpha Waves (7.0 – 12.0 Hz) Alpha waves indicate an alert state with a quiet mind (e .g . a person who has completed a task and sits down to rest is often in an Alpha state) . In this state attention may be focused outward for reflection or inward to achieve an alert meditative state (e .g . pondering) . Increased Alpha is often present in the brainwaves of people who practice meditation, yoga and tai chi .
Beta Waves (12.0 – 27.0 Hz) Beta waves are associated with normal waking states that we experience from day to day at work and play . In beta states we are highly alert and focused ­ busy computing, arranging, and organizing ­ making sense of the external world . Beta is increased in moments of stress or anxiety, enabling us to manage situations and solve immediate problems .
