“The Origin of Vibroacoustic Therapy – TheSoundWell & Olav Skille”

Introduction

Vibroacoustic therapy is a groundbreaking method of sound-based healing that uses low-frequency vibrations to promote physical and emotional well-being. But few know that this powerful modality was pioneered by Norwegian therapist Olav Skille—and that TheSoundWell is the original company built on his invention.

👤 Who Was Olav Skille?

• Olav Skille was a Norwegian educator and therapist who first developed vibroacoustic therapy in the late 1970s.

• He discovered that low-frequency sound waves could stimulate the body’s cells, reduce pain, and improve relaxation.

• His work laid the foundation for modern vibroacoustic equipment used in therapy centers, hospitals, and homes worldwide.
