Father of Vibroacoustic Therapy (VAT), Olav Skille, a well known Norwegian scientist, introduced VAT and VAS to the world in 1960’s. Low frequency tactile sound vibrations were used to stimulate body cells into therapeutic states of relaxation and healing. This treatment modality has been used as a tool to help patients with different health conditions including: Chronic Pain Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s disease, Fibromyalgia, Insomnia, Depression and Anxiety disorder, Chronic neck and back pain, Arthritis, ADD, ADHD, Asthma, Addiction, COPD, Pressure Ulcers (Bed Sores), Rett Syndrome, etc.<ref>Skille, Olav.
