PRENATAL ROOM

The link to pre-birth experiences and impressions.

A highly successful and innovative waterbed development which opens up a wealth of potential applications in the fields of relaxation and therapy. New scientific studies on the development of the unborn child have clearly shown that the course of a person's life is heavily determined in the prenatal stage. The personality of a child begins to emerge even during pregnancy, where it is influenced by the signals and messages which the unborn child receives from its mother and the outside world.
One German waterbed manufacturer has spent decades combining this research with their general enthusiasm for the social applications of waterbeds in order to create the Prenatal Room.
Their primary objective has been to create an atmosphere in which patients, or simply people seeking relaxation, can feel comfortable and at peace. Relaxation and sensual experiences promote health and well-being and are the essential prerequisites for the successful treatment of a variety of mental and physical developmental disorders and handicaps.
  The pleasantly relaxed atmosphere which a good, heated waterbed creates is not the only essential component of the Prenatal Room. It also includes a specially developed sound system which allows users to experience music, heartbeats or indeed any other acoustic elements through both vibratory and auditory channels. This opens up a whole range of potential therapeutic applications.

The water acts as a sound conductor by changing the oscillations into vibrations which allows them to be felt by the entire body. For the first time, a physical massage can be given through the medium of sound. The therapeutic effect is based on this combination of wave motion, comfortable warmth and the sensual experience of the vibrations. The Prenatal Room is the perfect tool for movement therapy applications. Physically handicapped people are also able to independently generate their own wave motion, allowing them to discover new physical sensations for themselves. The pleasant level of warmth increases the sensation of being safe and cozy and the use of music and sounds (heartbeats, minimalist compositions, etc.) can have a profoundly calming effect. Music designed to activate or stimulate can be experienced even more intensely. The increasing significance of music therapy is largely based on current successful applications in working with handicapped people.
