Science in the Service of Resilience

One in five Canadians suffers from chronic pain! That’s a lot… too much! Whether from a sports injury, a bad fall, or a persistent illness, pain always finds a way to settle in—as if it belongs in our bodies. To dislodge this unwelcome guest, Ovarium offers innovative solutions using neurotechnology. Science in the service of well-being—this is the path that this unique spa has been exploring since 1982.

The brains of individuals suffering from chronic pain generally produce an insufficient amount of alpha and theta waves. This conclusion is supported by several studies, including one conducted by psychiatrist Flavio Fröhlich, published in 2018 in the Journal of Pain. In fact, scientists have long been interested in the pain-relieving effects of increased production of alpha and theta brain waves. For instance, in 1990, the Forest Institute of Professional Psychology published a compelling study on the subject.

To help stimulate the brain’s production of these beneficial waves, Ovarium offers two cutting-edge devices: PSiO and NeuroSpa. These two treatments offer benefits that extend far beyond brainwave modulation.

PSiO: More Than Just Light Therapy

What is PSiO? It’s a highly sophisticated pair of glasses designed by a multidisciplinary Belgian team. These glasses emit light and color sequences synchronized with music. Beyond programs specifically developed to alleviate pain—featuring both voice guidance and a musical backdrop—many PSiO sessions promote deep relaxation, helping users better cope with pain.

The creators of PSiO left nothing to chance in their therapeutic approach. For example, the frequencies of pulsed light have been carefully selected for their specific effects on the brain. The combination of visual and auditory stimulation fully engages our attention, leaving it no choice but to let go.

This is what makes it possible to achieve the elusive “letting go” that is so difficult to attain through sheer willpower. Since focusing on pain consumes a significant amount of energy, this release is incredibly restorative. It is also essential for outsmarting the brain—by increasing the production of alpha and theta waves, PSiO effectively makes the brain “forget” the pain. This is why these glasses are widely used in European dental clinics, for example.

NeuroSpa: A Bed That Silences the Body’s Cries

A Quebec invention, NeuroSpa is a zero-gravity bed designed to promote complete mental and physical synchronization. It is the first system capable of transmitting music inside the body, effectively turning it into an acoustic speaker. While some NeuroSpa programs specifically stimulate the production of alpha and theta waves, its therapeutic effects go even further.

During a session, the combination of music and vibrations communicates directly with the central nervous system via the spine. These acoustic and physical vibrations gradually relieve tension caused by pain or stress. Not only does the brain’s attention shift away from pain, but these internal frequencies also act directly on the body, stimulating muscles and various organs. As a result, NeuroSpa has been associated with reduced muscle tension and inflammation, as well as achieving a profound state of relaxation.

A Holistic Approach to Pain Relief

Beyond massage therapy and flotation therapy—both of which are widely recognized for their pain-relieving benefits—Ovarium offers truly innovative solutions to help individuals reclaim their well-being… and regain control over their lives.
