Vicoustic relaxation is a technique in which a combination of two different sounds are played to a patients: music to relax and focus the mind; and a pulsed low frequency tone to relax and "massage" the body.
A primary outcome of the Vicoustic experience is the initiation of a state of deep relaxation, called the relaxation response. This mental, physical, and emotional state is characterized by lowered blood pressure and decreased heart, breathing, and metabolic rates. This creates a feeling of complete relaxation and well being.
The physical experience of this combination of sounds can lead to a reduction in muscle stress, blood pressure and heart rate. While music on its own can be very relaxing, it is the pulsed low frequency tone that makes Vicoustic relaxation sessions very special.
