When Jennifer Roberts, owner of the Penn Cove Horsemanship Center in Washington, relocated a mare to a new stable, the horse was highly agitated, retreating to the back of her stall and kicking the wall repeatedly. Jennifer collected her Infratonic Sound Therapy device and tied it outside the stall on a restful setting. Immediately the mare settled down and stopped kicking. In Colorado, Alicia Evans, a longtime animal trainer, uses Infratonic Sound Therapy on the horses in her barn that have experienced bronchitis, laminitis, colic, pain from training and injuries, arthritis, nervousness, and many other health conditions. “It produces a noticeable shift—in the energy field of the horse, in calmness, and in overall health,” she claims. Meanwhile, during the grueling training season, some trainers have begun treating Thoroughbred racehorses headed to such prestigious races as the Kentucky Derby with Infratonic Sound Therapy devices, noting that they accelerate the recovery time after rigorous workouts, physical stress, and even injuries.
What Is the Infratonic Sound Therapy System?
It is a hand-held, rechargeable, battery-operated device that uses alpha-range sound waves to simultaneously relax the body, reduce cellular trauma, and stimulate the production of Hyaluronic Acid (HA). Sound waves (below the range of human hearing) are emitted from the device, called the transducer, in an unpredictable pattern; this irregular pattern heightens the efficacy of the healing sound vibrations because the body cannot adapt to it. The formal name for working with this unpredictable (or chaotic) sound wave pattern is “stochastic resonance therapy.” Introducing stochastic resonance signals into the body influences cellular and genetic structures, increasing the energy in the system and reorganizing it into a higher, simpler state, where healing is not only possible but likely.
How It Works on the Cellular Level:
Cells that have been traumatized by injury, surgery, repetitive practices, stress, overwork, or other conditions are not, biologically and energetically speaking, in the best position to heal. Healing takes place, optimally, when the cells are relaxed. As the Infratonic emits sound waves in the alpha range—the range most often associated with the calming effects of meditation and relaxation—and the cells in the affected area receive these waves, they drop their highly reactive programming, and healing begins.
Following the Research
In 2001, inventor Richard Lee collaborated with veterinarian Ronald J. Riegel in a series of scientifically controlled studies focusing on understanding and quantifying the healing effects of Infratonic Sound Therapy, using groups of 10 genetically similar Standardbred racehorses. Research protocols were devised to study the effects of one 20-minute Infratonic session on the inflamed hocks of the horses. Infrared thermographic imaging soon determined that the hocks treated with the Infratonic sound dropped three degrees Celsius or more after just one session—and stayed down for hours.
In a second, even more rigorous field trial, blood analysis of all 10 horses in the group revealed that Infratonic Sound Therapy brought about a significant drop in levels of both AST (Aspartate Amino Transferase) and CPK (Creatine Phosphokinase)—both of which are prime indicators of inflammation in muscle tissue. Additionally, the treated horses showed significant improvement in the rate of recovery after races, attitude, and performance, shaving 1.65 seconds off their times over six weeks—enough to make the difference between first and last place in many close races.

So How Do I Use It?
Longtime horse owners and trainers like Jennifer Roberts and Alicia Evans agree that Infratonic Sound Therapy is “a great tool.” Jennifer advises horse handlers to experiment first by standing up to 20 feet away when turning on the device and observing the horses’ behavior, then moving steadily closer and observing the horse for signs of distress or discomfort. She points out that horses “lick their lips, chew like they have food in their mouths, sneeze, shake their heads, pass gas—they give a lot of clues about what feels good.”
Alicia adds, “just follow the protocols, people have great success using them.” Treatment protocols often focus on acupoints, timed sessions, and repetition over a duration of time.
In scientifically controlled studies, Infratonic Sound Therapy has proven effective in reducing inflammation, accelerating recovery, and promoting health and well-being. It can provide natural relief for horses who suffer discomfort and pain, without any negative side effects.
