AUDIO SONIC
Audio sonic vibrator is a small, hand held appliance which creates a gentle stimulation through sound waves. Sound waves are transmitted by all media- solid, 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 backwards-forward 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
