VAT is Whole Body Vibration.

Olav Skille & Avigail Berg-Panitz

Other “whole body vibration” systems are based on oscillating mechanical vibrators placed under feet or connected to vibrating belts etc. Even if some solutions include a range of low sound frequencies, the parameters that are used to produce the frequency composition output, are completely different in their purpose of usage, sensing and feeling and the effectiveness of the treatment.

VAT Low frequency sound range(30Hz -120Hz) and the process of treatment harmonically vibrate cells and molecules.

During a VAT session you are lying on multiple transducers. The transducers are turning your body into a “loudspeaker” diaphragm and your organism will absorb 2 % of the energy that is transferred to the whole body surface.

Hundreds of alternative therapists all over the world have more than 30 years experience In using VAT as an adjunct to their ordinary therapy methods.

When the wound is healed and the chance of bleeding is over, VAT can speed up recovery by increasing blood supply to the wound without the stress following physical massage therapy. Scarring that can be stiff and uncomfortable will often soften up and make movement less hampered.

POST STROKE

VAT combined with basic movement patterning will speed up return of lost muscular control. This combination therapy can be used shortly after the damage, but even old damages can be positively influenced , even after many years, even decades after origin of brain damage.

Post stroke aphasia recovery is speeded up if logopedic therapy is preceded by a VAT session. This makes the patient more relaxed and less tense. VAT can also be applied during speech therapy lesions.
