Audio sonic vibrator is a small, hand held appliance
which creates a gentle stimulation through sound
waves. Sound waves are transmitted by all mediasolid, liquid or gas. The molecules in human tissue
will vibrate when struck by sound waves. It is
believed that lymph, cartilage, muscle and bone can
conduct audio sonic pulses.
Audio sonic contains a coil which is controlled by a
electro magnet. When current is applied one way the
coil moves the other way creating a backwardsforward movement with the head remaining static so
the treatment is less stimulating on the surface and
more relaxing for the client.
Sound waves penetrate deep into the tissues at a
cellular level and are therefore more beneficial in
relaxing tension nodules
