FAQs
tekneklab soundbed sessions FAQs:
What is vibroacoustic therapy?
Vibroacoustic therapy (VAT) uses sound and gentle vibrations to promote relaxation and wellness. During a session, you'll lie on a specially designed soundbed, where transducers convert music or specific frequencies into vibrations that resonate through your body. These vibrations, combined with the auditory experience, can help to reduce stress, ease muscle tension, improve sleep, and promote a sense of deep relaxation.

Is parking available?
Yes, there is a parking lot behind the building as you enter on 11th Street and beneath the building as you enter on Aviation Blvd. There is also residential and unmetered parking on 11th Street.
Is there an age restriction?
For safety reasons, clients must be at least 12 years of age to attend session. Clients below the age of 18 may attend session by themselves with the signed consent of a parent/legal guardian/authorized adult. Adults of any age can benefit from soundbed sessions. Clients of all ages should be in good health and physically able to participate in instructor led stretches, light strength training exercises, and mat work.
How far in advance should I book a session?
Our schedule is live and available for booking two weeks in advance. We recommend setting your schedule, as our sessions can sometimes fill up quickly. If you book a session and your schedule changes, please ensure you cancel your reservation prior to the 8-hour window to avoid forfeiting your session.
How does the waitlist work?
Once you have added yourself to the waitlist, if a spot opens, you will be automatically added into session. Be sure to check your email and the Mindbody app to see if you've been added. Once you are added to a group session from a waitlist, you are considered confirmed and will be held to the cancellation policy. After the 8-hour window, the waitlist clears. If you didn't get in from the waitlist at least 8 hours prior to the session, please check the online schedule to see if there are any last-minute openings. If for any reason your plans change, please remember to remove yourself from the waitlist.
What if I am recovering from an injury?
tekneklab soundbed sessions are an excellent form of rehab and recovery. However, we do request that you have been cleared by your doctor to begin a regular routine post-injury.
What if I am pregnant?
Continuing a healthy relaxation routine during your pregnancy is a great way to prepare your body for childbirth. If you are pregnant, please let your teknician know so they may provide modifications to keep you and your baby safe, happy and healthy.
Can I bring my children and/or pets?
Children are allowed to attend. We recommend they are 10 years old or older to participate in a soudbed session. We do not allow pets in session due to potential allergies and health issues.
