Introduction
We’ve always known that the potential of Woojer's technology extends far beyond entertainment. After gathering feedback from hundreds of thousands of Woojer users worldwide, we decided to take it a step further. While Woojer products provide incredible immersive experiences, we’ve consistently seen impressive wellness and health use cases that demonstrate the transformative power of sound frequencies. This inspired the creation of the Woojer MAT—a new form factor designed to bring the benefits of therapeutic sound technology to everyday applications.
*This page will be constantly updated with new research, studies, and real-world examples showing how low-frequency sound impacts both our bodies and mental health.

What Is Vibrotactile (Vibroacoustic) Therapy?
Vibrotactile / vibroacoustic therapy (VAT) uses low-frequency sound (typically ~20–100 Hz) delivered to your body to stimulate mechanoreceptors, encourage autonomic balance, relax muscle tone, and modulate pain perception. It’s a somatic intervention rooted in neuroscience. Not hype.
Beyond entertainment
We invite you to share your experiences with the Woojer MAT or any Woojer product. Your stories will inspire others, spark new ideas, and reveal the true power of sound.
Clinical proof meets somatic experience.
Woojer's vibrotactile therapy technology uses low-frequency sound to create vibrations your body can feel. Research suggests potential benefits in areas like pain relief, stress reduction, and sleep improvement, though further large-scale studies are needed. Emerging evidence also explores its applications in neurodevelopmental and neurological contexts
Pain Relief
- Pilot RCT in students - HRV markers shifted toward parasympathetic balance, and the stress response eased.
- EEG/ECG relaxation signatures (2024) - Vibroacoustic stimulation was associated with measurable markers of calm.
- Effects of Vibroacoustic Stimulation on Psychological, Physiological, and Cognitive Stress - VSM effectively reduced psychological, physiological, and cognitive stress levels.
- Decreased Anxiety Through Haptic Technology Patch Usage - The PEACE Patch significantly reduced anxiety levels using vibrotactile trigger technology.
- Effect of Low-Frequency Sound Vibration on Acute Stress Response - Low-frequency sound vibration enhanced parasympathetic activity, contributing to stress management.
- Testing the Effects of Gentle Vibrotactile Stimulation on Symptom Relief in Fibromyalgia - Vibrotactile therapy significantly improved symptoms of stress, pain, and fatigue in fibromyalgia patients.
- Efficacy of Vibration Therapy on Restless Legs Syndrome and Sleep Quality - This study investigated the role of vibration therapy in alleviating symptoms and improving stress-related sleep disturbances.

Stress Relief
Sleep quality
- Insomnia with fMRI connectivity changes (2024) – Improved sleep and altered functional connectivity were observed under vibroacoustic stimulation.
- Closed-loop vibration (2024) – Both objective and subjective sleep quality improved in poor sleepers.
- Mechanical bed for sleep-inducing vibration (2024) – Low-frequency vibrations reduced sleep latency and induced sleepiness.
- Vibrotactile awakening efficacy (2024) – This method was effective in inducing awakenings in healthy subjects, but less so in medicated patients.
- Neck-based vibrotactile treatment (2024) – This treatment reduced sleep apnea symptoms by decreasing supine sleep time.
- Vibration-based sleep system (2024) – This system explores beat frequency vibration as a non-pharmacological insomnia treatment.
