Brief Summary
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to learn whether a low-frequency "kinetic wellness" mat (a comfortable mat that gently vibrates) can improve stress recovery, sleep quality, mood, and att...
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Adults 18-45 years.
- Able to provide written informed consent.
- Apparently healthy and free of unstable cardiovascular, neurological, or psychiatric conditions per screening.
- Cleared for low-to-moderate intensity whole-body vibration delivered supine/recumbent on a mat.
- Willing and able to comply with study procedures: two lab visits; 3-week home protocol (3-4 days/week); three 15-min sessions; brief affect check-ins and daily logs.
- Willing to abstain from caffeine, alcohol, and strenuous exercise for 24 hours before each lab visit and to attend visits at the same time of day.
- Able to lie supine for 15 minutes and follow instructions for the HRV device.
Exclusion
- Implanted electronic medical devices (e.g., pacemaker, neurostimulator).
- Uncontrolled hypertension or severe vestibular disorders.
- Current substance dependence.
- Medications known to markedly affect autonomic function or sleep architecture (e.g., beta-blockers, antiarrhythmics, sedative-hypnotics, antidepressants with strong autonomic effects).
- Diagnosed neurological or psychological disorders that substantially affect emotional processing or autonomic regulation (severe psychiatric conditions).
- Prior extensive experience with vibration therapies (to minimize expectancy bias).
- Any condition judged by study staff to contraindicate vibration exposure or preclude safe participation (including inability to tolerate supine/recumbent position).
- Unwillingness to refrain from initiating new structured exercise or relaxation programs during the study period.
