A new era of recovery – Neurosonic Harmonia in the test - Firstbeat measurement results
Guest writer: Joonas Lyytinen/ Firstbeat Technologies
In our busy lives, where exercise, work and recovery alternate, many of us face the same challenge: how to lower our heart rate and calm our minds, especially in the evenings. I have worked with Firstbeat's health technology for the last 10 years, so interpreting measurement data is familiar to me. Now it was interesting to try Neurosonic's new Harmonia product and see how the effects are reflected in the data.
Challenge: relaxation and sleep after exercise
Moderately high-intensity exercise in the evening can keep the body and mind in an overstimulated state for a long time, which makes it difficult to relax and get sleep. I am currently addicted to padel, which I play several times a week and often in the evenings. Often after training I feel overstimulated and sleep is not coming, and it is noticeable the next day as I feel groggy. The quality of sleep is also noticeably worse when the revs are high for a long time. I would like to calm down and recover well.
Neurosonic Harmonia: recovery begins immediately
Neurosonic's Harmonia product was a new experience, I have previously used a mobile mattress at home. Harmonia was placed in the bed, under the actual mattress. There was already a lot of previous information about Neurosonic: it is based on scientifically researched low-frequency vibrations that activate the body's recovery mechanisms and promote relaxation. I decided to try a 25-minute relaxation program after my evening workout. The Firstbeat measurement data showed that recovery began immediately during the treatment, and the body moved from a state of stress to a clear recovery.

Firstbeat certifies the impact
Firstbeat measurement is a great tool for monitoring recovery and stress levels. Neurosonic Harmonia stands out in that its effect is not just a subjective experience – it is concretely visible in the data. The body's heart rate variability increases, the heart rate decreases and the body moves from a stressed state to a relaxed state.
Experience summary
Neurosonic Harmonia is an effective tool for evening relaxation and recovery. It is especially suitable for those who struggle with post-exercise alertness or calming down after a stressful day. With the Firstbeat measurements, I was able to clearly see how the treatment affected my body's recovery - and the effect was immediate.
