Practical work with VAT started in Norway 1980. Spread to USA and European countries by 1984. VAT and Olav Skille is widely referred on Internet web sites, both in reports and in reference tables.

VAT equipments are marketed under name Somatron, Physioacoustic, Sound chair, Sound tables, Sounds for Live etc. Equipment choice is not the most important parameter. The effective element is always the sound. Sound is the therapeutic agent.

Olav Skille has via evidence based research made on humans found the frequencies that have predictable effect on several described conditions of health issues. Music also can have physical effect when transferred to the body, but the content of frequencies is so great that one does not know which elements are the active ones.

There now are 5 basic frequencies available for therapists who want to use VAT in their practical work. Special frequencies available for experienced therapists.

There are 2 VAT clinics in Kolkata.

Attatched: Indian made VAT equipment (Q-Life) at Mother Theresa’s Orphanage in Kolkata.
