Weighted therapy stimulates the proprioceptive system through the use of deep touch pressure.
Deep Touch Pressure works on the principle of applying weight or pressure to provide proprioceptive input. This input calms and modulates the central nervous system which, in turn, aids the processing of sensory information
At Sensory Direct we have twenty years experience in designing and manufacturing weighted blankets, lap pads, weighted toys and other weighted products to calm and soothe. We manufacture at our UK base and our weighted products are all tested to the required safety standards.
