The Amazing inHarmony Sound Lounge Vibroacoustic Table
Vibroacoustic therapy is our latest new therapy at Palma Sola Wellness that you may not have ever heard of! This incredible piece of equipment was developed over 40 years ago; however, don’t let that fool you because the latest studies show that it can do so much more than relax and soothe you.
The “table” (more like a bed) uses sound waves and vibrations to relax and penetrate multiple levels of the body. Researchers have found that users also receive positive results for a number of other issues and the benefits include:
- Increasing blood circulation & stimulate lymphatic flow

- Reducing stress
- Minimizing pain

Vibroacoustic therapy (VAT) has immediate beneficial effects as well as some that may appear long after your therapy session. And perhaps most importantly, this is a drug-free, non-invasive way to promote pain and anxiety relief. By using this equipment, you’ll create a positive environment in which promotes healing, and as a result, greatly increases your quality of life.
More about this incredible “Acoustic” Therapy
We all know that everything in life is vibrating – all energy, all matter including the human body, vibrates all the time, at various frequencies. Sound and music also vary in frequency. Therefore, when sound and/or music is converted into vibration and then is introduced to your body, not only does it feel fantastic but it brings the body into a state of healthy resonance.
Vibroacoustic Table uses low frequencies and therapeutic music delivered through speakers called transducers. As a person’s body has contact with these embedded speakers, the music is sent from the table into the body where it is felt and heard by the ears as sound. These vibrations stimulate nerve bundles along the spine, up into the brainstem, and then through the limbic system. In addition, the sound stimulates the medulla in the brain stem and activates the auditory nerve that connects with all the muscles of the body. These reactions signal the body to relax and flood the brain with mood-lifting chemicals. In addition, the low frequencies also cause a relaxation of the tissues and a dilation of blood vessels, and they open the lymphatic pathways and in turn increases your body’s ability to heal. If you’re like us, we’re sure you’re already asking, where do I sign up?
In a day and age when we are all are looking for ways to feel and searching out alternatives to combating stress, pain, and illness, we should reconsider the Ancient wisdom of sound therapy.
Who shouldn’t use the Vibroacoustic Table?

- Acute inflammatory conditions
- Hypotension
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (or DVT)
- Seizure disorders
- Caution with pregnancy
Specific frequencies are used to affect the given area of concern for each of our clients. For chronic conditions, the best long-term benefits are frequently found in multiple sessions (up to 10 in some cases).

More about Infrared Saunas
An infrared sauna is a type of sauna that uses light to create heat and is sometimes called a far-infrared sauna — “far” describing where the infrared waves fall on the light spectrum. A “regular” sauna uses heat to warm the air, which in turn warms your body. An infrared sauna heats your body directly without warming the air around you.
The appeal of saunas is that they cause your body to react the same was it would if you had conducted moderate exercise, in which you may vigorously sweat and your heart rate would likely increase. The nice thing about the Infrared Sauna is that it produces these results at a lower temperature than a regular sauna, which makes it more comfortable and accessible to people who can’t tolerate the heat of a normal sauna.
Several studies have looked at the use of infrared saunas to treat certain chronic health problems, such as high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, headache, type 2 diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis, and evidence has been found that it provides a benefit. Additionally, no adverse effects have been reported with infrared saunas.
