Sound therapy is working its way into everyday modern life, particularly with the fields of health and education the right sonic waves can promote healing and provide balance. 

*Advances in the fields of sound treatment were highlighted by the BBC in 2011, when they reported that Orthopaedic surgeon Angus MacLean has been using ultrasound in the Glasgow Royal Infirmary's fracture clinic. He uses the technology as a pain free method of treating fractures that are not healing well, based on good evidence that the sound vibrates the cells which stimulates healing and regeneration in the bone. This method can also be applied to treatments for abdominal, digestive, circulation and other ailments. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-15262297

Dr Mitchell Gaynor, Director of Medical Oncology and Integrative Medicine at the Cornell Cancer Prevention Centre (New York) states, “If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that vibration touches every part of our physical being then we understand that sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in our bodies.” http://www.gaynoroncology.com/sound-healing.html
