Weighted Vests

Weighted vests are wonderful therapeutic tools for those with sensory issues. Sensory processing, sometimes called sensory integration is a process in which the brain processes the information we receive through our senses. Sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste are the 5 common senses. We also have 2 additional senses. The sense of body movement and body awareness. Sensory disorders can cause the nervous system to misread or simply not process the information it receives from the senses. While the common 5 senses are important, it is the 2 hidden senses that are the building blocks for our movements. Body movement is also known as vestibular. Proprioception is a term used to describe body awareness. Weighed vests provide vestibular as well as proprioceptive input necessary for regular body movement and placement. Additionally, vests are very calming. The weighted pressure is great for those that are hyperactive, lack concentration and are easily distracted. They are perfect for school or home activities.
