The Timbrephonic platform is a revolutionary instrument created using the same elements as in the artful construction of a grand piano to produce supreme sound and vibro-acoustic performance. The platform offers individuals a complete sensory experience through auditory (sound) and tactile (low-frequency vibration) stimulation. Through the use of fine materials and expert craftsmanship, the platform moves and excites music in a space much in the way a live instrumental performance stimulates and envelops a crowd. The Timbrephonic platform is customizable for use to promote relaxation, stimulation, or to aid in physiological and psychological recovery and rehabilitation in a variety of personal, therapeutic, and clinical settings.

The Timbrephonic platform is constructed with instrument-grade Spruce, the same used to produce piano sounding boards known for creating a profound listening experience. Tactile transducers are attached beneath the platform to relay sound and vibration from a custom sound-system to the patient. When a chair or procedure table is placed on the platform, the full vibratory experience of the tactile transducers can be heard and felt, establishing an effective relaxation response. The experience immerses the individual in sound and vibration – a superior, transcendent sensory and physiological state.

Using a Timbrephonic platform in a clinical setting allows patients to encounter a different kind of therapy that enhances their medical testing and procedures. It has been shown in numerous studies that relaxation therapy prior to and during stressful medical procedures impacts the benefit of such procedures. The physiological effects of stress and anxiety, which many patients experience prior to medical procedures, can inhibit the effectiveness of treatment and the overall experience of healing.

Music and the sensation of sound moving through the human skeletal structure relaxes people and returns them to an open state, greatly reduced from stress, where physiological and psychological healing can really begin. During particularly stressful or painful procedures, the music and vibration can act as a focal point for the patient, allowing them to concentrate on beautiful music or specially developed psycho-sensory pieces to help effect deep relaxation, decreased pulse, and reduced blood pressure.

From the patient waiting room to procedure rooms, the Timbrephonic platforms can be custom made to fit nearly invisibly beneath chairs and procedure tables of all sizes for all uses. Each platform has a full five year warranty and the electronics and tactile transducers have full manufacturer warranties. Laborie Medical Technologies is always available to provide information and advice on further applications and benefits of Timbrephonic (vibro/psycho acoustic) sound systems in clinical settings.
