Individually Weighted Compartments
Without weight and feedback, those who are sensory seeking may find it difficult to relax. The Sensory Direct Weighted Shoulder Wrap uses individually weighted compartments to distribute weight upon the user to promote an all-encompassing brand of compression that soothes the user whilst reducing anxiety.
The weight in the wrap applies deep pressure to the touch receptors in the muscles, joints and ligaments, imparting a soothing and calming effect that's great for proprioceptive seeking individuals with conditions like autism and ADHD.
Drape to Your Unique Shape
The Sensory Direct Shoulder Wrap is shaped as such so it can mould itself to the unique shape of the wearers body. As it drapes across the shoulders, each compartment shifts the beads inside around to provide a blanketed brand of compression, which feels safe and warm.
