How deep pressure therapy works.
Deep pressure stimulation is generally referred to as a form of tactile sensory input, which is provided by holding, stroking, hugging, swaddling, and squeezing.
The technique of Deep Pressure Therapy is often used to calm anxious people - improving their coping ability and adaptation, giving their brain a better sense of where their body is to the outer world.
A light touch is often perceived as alerting and even agitating to some people, while deep pressure touch is typically calming and organizing to the senses. Applying deep pressure to the body helps create a deeply relaxing effect allowing the body to calm and release the daily stress of life. FLOWpresso™ applies deep pressure to the body - similar to a hug - through each individual chamber, serving a profoundly relaxing effect, allowing the body to calm and release the daily stress of life.
