YOU FEEL BAD FOR THOSE SNOW
BLOWERS.
WE'LL GET OUR SHARE EVENTUALLY.
THANKS, JOHN.
IF YOU HAVE A GOOD QUESTION,
PLEASE GO TO WCCO.COM/LINKS.
AND MANY OF US ARE HAVING
HAY HARD TIME REDUCING STRESS.
IF -- A HARD TIME REDUCING
STRESS.
IF GOING TO THE GYM OR TAKING
A WALKER NOT WORKING, CHECK THIS
OUT.
Reporter: THIS IS WHAT'S
KNOWN AS SOUND THERAPY, A
TREATMENT THAT'S BEEN
REDISCOVERED IN MINNESOTA.
ANGELA DAVIS OBSERVED A SESSION
AND GAVE IT A TRY.
I THINK YOU HAVE TO
EXPERIENCE IT BEFORE YOU CAN
REALLY MAKE ANY DETERMINATION,
BECAUSE IT'S JUST AMAZING.
Reporter: IF SEEING IS
BELIEVING, WHAT COULD HEARING
METHODICAL SIGNS DO.
I WAS JUST FOCUSING ON
LETTING GO OF MY THOUGHTS AND
EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING IN
MY LIFE RIGHT NOW.
A NECK INJURY AFTER A CASH
CRASH BROUGHT GLENDA TO THIS
DIMLY-LIT ROOM FILLED WITH METAL
BOWLS AND GONGS.
SHE'S BEEN TO AN ACUPUNCTURIST.
AN HOUR LATER, HE RISES FROM THE
TABLE.
THE NECK PAIN YOU DESCRIBED,
HOW IS THAT NOW?
I I DON'T WANT EVEN NOTICE
IT.
FRANK -- I DON'T EVEN NOTICE
IT.
FRANK IS A SOUND DOCTOR.
HE STUDIED HIM LAY AREA SINGING
BOWLS -- HIMALAYAN SINGING BOWLS
FOR MORE THAN A DECADE AND SAYS
IT GOES BACK 5,000 YEARS.
THE SOUNDS, VIBRATIONS, HAVE
A WAY OF GOING TO PLACES THAT
PHYSICALLY WE CAN'T GET TO.
IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT
DIMINISHES WHAT A CHIROPRACTIC
DOES, OR A MASSAGE THERAPIST,
IT'S JUST A DIFFERENT WAY OF
APPROACHING THE SAME PROBLEM.
FRANK SAYS HIS CLIENTS HAVE
DESCRIBED RELIEF FROM HEADACHES,
BACKACHES, DIFFICULTY SLEEPING,
EVEN RELIEVE FROM SYMPTOMS OF
PARKINSON'S DISEASE.
THE SOUNDS THAT I USER MORE
SOUTHING AND HARMONIOUS.
THEY BLEND TOGETHER, THEY --
THEY RELAX THE BODY.
THEY RELAX THE MIND.
WHAT DO SCIENTIFIC MINDS
THINK OF THIS?
IT IS CLEARLY DOING SOMETHING
IN THE BODY, IN THE BRAIN.
DR. LEM IS AN EXPERT HOW THE
BRAIN PROCESSES SOUND.
MUCH IS KNOWN ABOUT THE NEGATIVE
IMPACT OF LOUD NOISES, NOT MUCH
HAS BEEN DONE TO STUDY THE
POSITIVE IMPACT OF SOUTHING
SOUNDS.
WHEN YOU MEASURE SIGNALS IN
THE BODY, YOU CAN SEE THAT HEART
RATE WILL CHANGE, PEOPLE WILL
START TO SWEAT OR HAVE CHILLS IN
THEIR BODY FOR DIFFERENT TYPES
OF SOUNDS, SO IT'S CLEAR CAUSING
A PHYSIOLOGICAL NEURO AFFECT.
DR. LEN BELIEVES PEOPLE HAVE
THE ABILITY TO EXPERIENCE THE
HEALING AFFECTS OF SOUND BUT
STILL SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT
RESPOND.
IN THE END, WHAT REALLY
MATTERS MOST IN MY OPINION IS
HOW DOES THAT INDIVIDUAL FEEL,
AND IF THEY'RE FEELING BETTER,
SOME PHYSIOLOGICAL BRAIN
RESPONSE HAS OCCURRED.
FRANK IS VERY AWARE OF
SKEPTICS.
I WOULD SAY WHAT HAVE YOU GOT
TO LOSE?
YOU'VE TRIED EVERYTHING ELSE,
GIVE IT A SHOT.
I COULDN'T LEAVE WITHOUT
GIVING IT A TRY.
I COULD FEEL THE VIBRATIONS AND
NOTICE MY SHOULDERS FELT LESS
TENSE.
MY WHOLE BODY MORE RELAXED.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO ASK
ANGELA ABOUT THAT TOMORROW.
FRANK CHARGES $60 FOR A ONE HOUR
SESSION, $100 FOR A DOUBLE, $135
