Will my child or family member enjoy
weighted therapy?
Wondering if a weighted item might be a good fit for you or your loved one? Consider this: do you or your child enjoy the calming weight of the vest used during dental X-rays? Do you find comfort in sleeping under heavy blankets when it’s cold, or do you enjoy deep, soothing hugs? If you answered yes to any of these, a weighted item like Nigel might be just what you’re looking for.
Any reasons I shouldn’t utilize weight for therapeutic regulation?
Yes, there are a few important considerations. Weighted items should never be used on injured body parts. Avoid using them on the chest for individuals with lung complications, and do not use on areas with impaired circulation or reduced sensation—such as in cases of nerve injury, paralysis, or diabetic neuropathy. Always consult with a healthcare professional if you're unsure.
