Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments providing audio frequency therapy. An audio therapy device can emit vibrations of varying frequencies. When a controller of the device is activated, the controller can transmit frequency commutations to a transducer. The transducer can emit vibrations corresponding to the frequency commutations that cause at least a first enhancer and a second enhancer to vibrate. These vibrations are then transferred to one or more parts of a human body that are in contact with pads of the device.
