At Autism Advisory And Support Service, we understand the importance of products that help children and adults alike with sensory processing needs. That’s why we’re excited to share these resources with you…. Lycra Body Socks! Made with high-quality, translucent yet resistive fabric. These Body Socks provide a sensory experience unlike any other—offering the calming, deep pressure that so many sensory-seeking children and individuals crave.
What Are Body Socks?
A Body Sock is a full-body sensory tool that wraps the user in resistive fabric. This fabric gently pushes back against your movements, creating deep pressure on the body. This “hugging” sensation can help improve proprioception (your body’s awareness of where it is in space), while also encouraging better motor planning skills and balance.
Why Body Socks Are So Effective
- Deep Pressure for Proprioception: Body Socks are fantastic for offering full-body deep pressure. The action of pushing against the resistive fabric helps to improve proprioception. This sensory input is crucial for body awareness, and it can be particularly beneficial for children who struggle with understanding their physical space.
- Motor Planning and Balance: Because the Body Sock resists the body’s movements, users must plan their actions, which helps improve motor planning and coordination. The more children engage with it, the more they develop these important skills.
- Helps with Tactile Defensiveness: For those who experience tactile defensiveness—meaning they are overly sensitive to touch—the Body Sock can help. It allows them to engage with touch on their own terms, offering a safe, calming experience.
- Perfect for Sensory Seekers: Sensory seekers, who crave intense sensory input, will love the Body Sock! It allows them to stretch, push, and move while feeling secure. This product is ideal for kids who need to expend extra energy while also receiving soothing pressure.
A Customised Experience
One of the standout features of Sensory Matters’ Body Socks is that they allow the individual to choose whether to keep their head inside or outside. Some children find comfort and focus with their head tucked inside, while others prefer having it outside. This flexibility makes the Body Sock adaptable to each child’s needs.
A Safe Haven for Self-Regulation
The Lycra Body Sock can become a calming, safe space for a child who is feeling overwhelmed by sensory input. Whether they are dealing with noise, bright lights, or other stimuli, the Body Sock provides them with a comforting cocoon where they can self-regulate and regain a sense of calm.
