Experience the Magic of Therapeutic Sound and Vibration

The massage table used in the treatment room at Heartworks is a custom-made sound therapy table. Four transducers (a type of high precision speaker, sometimes called "shakers") are mounted underneath the massage table creating an immersive vibrational experience for your entire body. Dave develops and composes special musical and psychoacoustic sound recordings that vibrate directly through the table. At Heartworks, we use specially mixed arrangements of these recordings in order to deeply engage the parasympathetic aspect of your autonomic nervous system. You are literally bathed in a very special sound landscape as your body feels the vibrations through the table and your ears listen to the music in the room. The vibrations of the table resonate your own tissues and nervous system on a systemic level. This is the physiological state where your body's natural healing mechanisms are stimulated and activated on a system wide level, while the debilitating stress responsive mechanisms are quieted and disengaged.

Visit Dave's website The Heart of Sound for more information on sound, vibration and healing. He has released several CDs that have been developed over hundreds and massage sessions. They are amazing in their ability to move you into healing states of consciousness and deep relaxation.

This work is not to be confused with vibrating "massage chairs" that are gaining in popularity. These chairs contain simple tactile vibrational motors that emit very basic and narrow frequency patterns. The table at Heartworks has a very broad frequency response range, able to accurately vibrate complex waveforms and frequencies as well as musical compositions that far exceed what is possible in massage chairs. Add to this technology the special sound recordings themselves which play in the room, and you have the opportunity to experience extraordinarily, deep relaxation.
