Rest and Repair Protocol
"Return to yourself through the transformative power of sound." - Unyte ILS
About Rest and Restore Protocol™
​
Developed by Dr. Stephen Porges and Anthony Gorry, Rest and Restore Protocol™ (RRP) is an innovative, clinical-grade listening therapy designed to help calm and restore mental and physical functioning.
​
​RRP is informed by decades of research studying physiological rhythms in the body, including heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, and in the gut, alongside deep knowledge of advanced sound technology. This scientifically engineered acoustic signal and music support deep relaxation and optimal recovery for clients.

How does Rest and Restore Protocol™ work?

RRP is not a standalone therapy; it complements existing treatment strategies for individuals working with care providers.
​
While research and development are ongoing, RRP is informed by decades of research studying physiological rhythms in the body. RRP embeds biological rhythms into unique musical themes, signaling the healing functions of the autonomic nervous system.
​
Rest and Restore Protocol™ is delivered exclusively by certified providers through digital delivery via the Unyte platform. Clients experience a dynamic, progressive program, including five hours of Sonocea® Enhanced musical themes.
​
Healing professionals and healthcare providers can integrate RRP with other healing practices and modalities to provide holistic support to their clients.
