Why Vibration?

Did you know vibration offers calming and organizing input for most people?

The activation of touch receptors and deep touch receptors is why massage is so relaxing and invigorating.

It is important to allow an individual to explore vibration on their own terms and pace. Whether an individual has hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity, vibration helps to "normalize" sensation.
