Neurosonic — for a better balance of the body and the mind. Neurosonic produces extremely low-frequency vibrations. Being a natural mechanism, vibration has a direct balancing effect on the autonomic nervous system. The Neurosonic relaxation treatment puts the body in a state similar to meditation leading to a faster and more efficient recovery. Healthy sleep mechanisms are restored, and many other things in the body and mind are given the opportunity to recover. This app helps you control your Neurosonic device. The Neurosonic app allows you to use the device with all compatible phone models. The minimum requirement is Bluetooth V4.0.: You can use the mobile application to easily pick among 10-41 minute programs for relaxation, activation, or recovery. Take a power nap during a busy day or choose a relaxation program for sleep problems or stress. You can use activation programs to boost your metabolism, increase your alertness, or warm up your muscles. Recovery programs are perfect after sports and for reducing swellings, but also for sleep. All the programs promote sleep quality and contribute to both physical and mental recovery. The effects are individual, and regular use leads to the best results.
