What is Deep Pressure Therapy?
A Hug! A Portable Weighted Blanket~
You have experienced Deep Pressure Therapy before! Every time you get a good hug, you are getting Deep Pressure Therapy.
Applying gentle, distributed weight to your body does lots of cool things. It fires a bunch of happy chemicals in your brain that help you feel calm, a sense of well-being and peace. This effect is called Deep Pressure Stimulation.
With a Relax Wrap, you don't have to wait for the next great hug to come along. You can get Deep Pressure Therapy any time you want, whether using your Relax Wrap warmed, chilled or room temp.
Note: Deep Pressure is painless. Deep Pressure actually encourages muscles to relax, softly and gently.
