Patent ID: 7442174

Claim:
A method of providing vibrations to a human body, the method comprising the steps of: A. Providing a single vibratory element adapted to provide a vibrational effect; wherein the vibratory element is a tactile sound transducer; B. Positioning the vibratory element sufficiently near the human body to feel the vibrational effect, wherein the vibratory element has a substantially fixed position with respect to the human body; C. Providing a wave generation device adapted to drive the vibratory element with a signal; D. Providing a program for controlling the signal of the wave generation device, wherein the program is configured to stimulate a first body portion having a first resonance frequency and a second body portion having a second resonance frequency, wherein the program is configured to substantially continuously change a frequency of said signal to sweep a frequency range between the first resonance frequency and the second resonance frequency; and E. Playing the program to sweep the frequency range between the first resonance frequency and the second resonance frequency; wherein the first body portion, but not the second body portion, is stimulated when the signal has a frequency approximately equal to the first resonance frequency; and wherein the second body portion, but not the first body portion, is stimulated when the signal has a frequency approximately equal to the second resonance frequency.
