Weighted and Plush Animals

Deep pressure therapy, often recommended by occupational therapists, can be a great way to promote a sense of calm and well-being in both children and adults.

The gentle, firm pressure applied to the body can have a soothing effect, helping to settle restless legs, improve sleep, and reduce anxiety.

Weighted toys are a popular and effective tool for this kind of therapy. Their weight provides a gentle, consistent pressure that mimics a hug, offering comfort and a sense of security.

 They are particularly beneficial for people who experience sensory processing challenges, helping them feel more grounded and relaxed in various settings, including at home or in school.
