What is a sensory body sock?

Children with ADHD or autism can often have trouble calming down, often resulting in stress and anxiety. When a child experiences stress and anxiety, it becomes even more difficult to calm down. One way to reduce anxiety and stress is to create a sense of safety. A sense of safety automatically calms the nervous system and reduces brain activity. A sensory body sock creates a sense of safety by applying constant compression to a child's body. The constant compression feels like an endless hug to a child, there is no safer feeling, right?

Development of balance and motor skills

The constant compression of the body sock stimulates the muscles and proprioceptive system of a child. Proprioception is a sense that is important for the balance and motor skills of the body. The proprioceptive system is located in the muscles and joints of the body and gives us a sense of body awareness. The proprioceptive system determines how much force you have to use and which muscles you have to tense in different situations. A sensory body sock contributes to the good development of the proprioceptive system, all you have to do is wear the body sock and play.

In short:

• Creates a sense of security : A sensory body sock creates a sense of security, perfect for children who often feel anxious or stressed.
• Motor and balance development : A sensory body sock helps develop balance and motor skills in a fun way.
