Abstract
This paper traces the early development of the use of low frequency sound and music as a treatment procedure. It describes some of the initial work undertaken in Norway, Finland and England, and gives examples of specific physical disorders and disabilities that this treatment process has been influential in treating. It examines some of the anecdotal evidence already recorded in the treatment of muscular disorders and circulatory problems, and also describes in detail some objective research that was undertaken in England, which looked at the effect of low frequency sound on spastic muscles and in less detail at some research that was undertaken in Estonia on neurotic clients.
