Overview
There is a scientific term for the physiological response that occurs when sound interacts with the body.
It is called frisson.
At McQueen Massage & Wellness Studio, this response is intentionally cultivated through vibroacoustic sound therapy. Low frequency vibration is used to calm the nervous system, reduce tension, and support measurable relaxation.
Each Frisson session takes place on a custom engineered vibroacoustic system designed specifically for McQueen Massage & Wellness Studio and the TranceBody™ Method.
The system uses ten precisely positioned transducers to deliver even, full body vibration from head to toe.
Sound frequencies between 20Hz and 250Hz travel through the body in steady, rhythmic waves, influencing muscle tone, circulation, and autonomic balance in a controlled and intentional way.
The Experience
Sessions are performed fully clothed on the studio’s custom vibroacoustic system while sound is delivered both physically through the mat and audibly through headphones. What you hear is what you feel, creating a synchronized sensory experience that is immersive without being overwhelming.
The vibration moves through the body in a consistent, grounding pattern, allowing the nervous system to shift out of stress-driven activity and into a calmer, more regulated state. The experience is quiet, deeply settling, and designed to feel restorative rather than stimulating.
The Science
Vibroacoustic therapy has been studied for over four decades in clinical and wellness settings across Scandinavia, Europe, and the United States. Research suggests that low frequency sound and vibration may help:
• Lower muscle tension and pain perception
• Support autonomic nervous system regulation
• Encourage parasympathetic rest and recovery response
• Improve sleep quality and overall relaxation
• Enhance body awareness and sensory integration
Frisson is a wellness experience and not a medical treatment.
