Body Sock

DETAILS

• We designed our own Body Sock with super soft, stretchy, breathable and see-through lycra fabric and reinforced elastic opening with stud fasteners (instead of scratchy Velcro)
• Made from high quality materials and are durable enough for use at home, schools or therapy clinics
• The entrance hole can also be positioned to suit your child, whether they want to keep their head out, or become completely covered.
• The perfect addition for any child or adult living with Anxiety, ADHD, Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder or PTSD, by providing calming sensory input
• Available in Small, Medium & Large
  

SPECS

• Sizes: Small = 70cm x 100cm (for children up to 1.1m tall), Medium = 70cm x 120cm (for children up to 1.3m tall), Large = 72cm x 140cm (for children up to 1.5m tall)
• As a guide you want your child to be slightly taller than the body sock (these need to be tight!), so if your child is in-between two sizes then consider going down a size
• Colour: Navy Blue
• Materials: 88% Nylon, 12% Lycra Spandex (not super shiny, feels very soft)
• Made in China

Our Body Socks are a very popular tool with children as they are very versatile and provide a really fun (often hilarious) way to work on many different therapy goals whilst giving strong and calming sensory input, without it feeling like ‘therapy’ or ‘hard work’. 

They are great to have with you anywhere you go as an instant and easy "hide away" to help those with anxiety or sensory overload to feel safe and comfortable. 

They also burn off energy as they provide resistance when you move in them, and the joint compression helps with sending a calming message to the brain of "you're safe" and "this is where your body is in space". 

Ideal for helping those who:

• need to burn off lots of energy, and sometimes needs to do this indoors
• need more sensory feedback to know where their body is in space
• need help with self-regulation
• crave movement and deep pressure or joint compression input (vestibular & proprioceptive)
• enjoy soft tactile input have difficulties with coordinating motor movements have low muscle tone
• need help to calm anxiety or an over-stimulated nervous system
