Five years ago, a pinched nerve and a numb thumb inspired my already growing curiosity with the healing power of sound. Visiting a massage therapist who used tuning forks planted a creative seed in my mind. And attending massage school at the Pacific School of Awareness & Bodywork on the island of Kauai only deepened my desire to find a way to effectively reduce the stress and tension which accumulates in our bodies from our day to day living.

The result is SomaWave Therapy – a sound treatment which allows one to experience deep relaxation and peace of mind, either at home or as part of a massage session with a licensed massage therapist.

SOMAWAVE THERAPY

Using sound wave technology to experience deep relaxation, unwind
muscles and calm the mind.
Unique speakers called transducer speakers, which are specifically designed to emphasize the vibrational aspect of sound, transmit sound waves through the massage table, creating a wide stereo field of low end frequencies that are applied to the entire body. Recommended is a minimum of 30 minutes to relax the body and mind, and the treatment may be applied within a massage session or at home or work space.
The ThermaWave sound tool is used by a licensed massage therapist or health care practitioner to apply sound and heat to specific parts of the body. The sound tool allows for a more focused application of sound with a wider range of frequencies – stimulating at the cellular level – far deeper than the hands of a therapist at the surface.

At the heart of the system is the iOS app for the iPad. The features of the sine wave generating app include…

  • Stereo – Mono mode
  • Low / High / Specific Frequency Selection
  • Play modes – Manual, Sweep, Ramp, Step
  • Binaural Beat Control
  • Variable Sweep Rate
  • Variable Pulse Rate
  • Time Shift
  • Memory / Recall Function
  • Environmental Sounds
  • Timer / Alarm Control

Somawave App on Itunes

This video demonstrates the ability of sound to stimulate and activate an object based on the principle of resonance  –  i.e. all matter will respond to a unique frequency based on its physical makeup and properties. In this case the SomaWave Therapy app activates and brings to life the guitar’s ‘A’ string when it’s appropriate frequency is crossed. Keep your eye on the 5th string as the app sweeps past 110 Hz…

This principle of resonance also holds true for the human body – knotted muscles, scar tissue, tendons, ligaments, organs, and other tissue can be stimulated by various frequencies resulting in healing, relaxation and balance.

“Sound will be the medicine of the future, and the future is now.”

– Edgar Cayce

TESTIMONIALS

''SomaWave Therapy is amazing. I am a true believer in massage therapy and have a regular schedule of massages. However, the tones emitted from both the massage table and the sound tool were different from anything I have experienced. There is no shaking sensation, as in “easy chair” types of vibrating tools. Extremely relaxing, soothing and pleasant; I am certain I hit deep sleep.''

''The session with Wesley's massage table and sound tool resulted in an incredibly relaxing experience. The system provided a very deep, but gentle experience that was unlike anything I'd ever experienced. Afterwards I felt relaxed but also energized. I'd describe the feeling as calm, solid energy.''

''I found that after the sound table session, I had much longer lasting results from my massage. It was rejuvenating and I look forward to experiencing it again.''
Terra Soma

''If you struggle letting go of your day, getting your thoughts to calm down and giving your mind a rest, you should try a sound table session. It feels like pampering yourself in a simple and private way. The sound waves soothe you like a day at the beach and help you get out of your head and into your body so you can calm down, find rest, and feel refreshed.''

''SomaWave Therapy is sound wave technology transmitting a physical vibration that assists our own body back to homeostasis. Expect to feel relaxed, peaceful and rejuvenated. Perfect after a stressful day at the office.''

''After a massage and sound treatment with Wesley, I felt my posture was much improved and held for a longer period of time. Also a feeling of well being.''
Betty Baerg, RN
''I am a chronic pain sufferer. Not only does Wesley understand my complex pain issues, he incorporates a unique massage - sound therapy style that has profoundly changed my mobility and quality of life. My sleep has also improved dramatically. I am hoping to have a SomaWave table for myself soon so that I can enjoy the benefits of a quick cat nap with the relaxing yet rejuvenating effects of sound therapy.''

FAQs

“Does SomaWave Therapy suggest specific frequencies for treating certain conditions or symptoms?”

SomaWave Therapy does not make any claims about the benefits of specific frequencies. That is up to the individual to explore and research on their own.

“Is SomaWave Therapy music therapy?”

No, SWT is the application of various frequencies using a sinusoidal wave, considered a pure tone. This sine wave is the same as that of a tuning fork or crystal bowl, and generated with the app on the iPad.

“Can music be played through the transducer speakers?”

Yes, due to the excellent quality of the speakers used, music can be played through the system if desired. The speakers will however be emphasizing the low end frequencies because of their unique design.

Does SomaWave Therapy collect any of my personal data?

While app settings are stored in the app, SomaWave Therapy does not collect, store or share any personal user data.
