Compression Garments

Compression increases endorphin levels and decreases heart rate and blood pressure.   Deep touch pressure causes the release of both serotonin and dopamine in the brain.  These are "happy" neurotransmitters and produce a feeling of calm. Deep sensory pressure often increases our Happy hormones such as serotonin and dopamine while also slowing down our involuntary functions such as heart rate, blood pressure and the stress hormone cortisol. Some of these conditions that benefit from deep pressure input are as follows, but not limited to: Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder, Anxiety, Sensory Tactile Defensiveness, Premature Birth, ADHD, OCD, Low Tone, Hypotonia, Developmental Delays, Eating Disorders, Misophonia, Hyperacusis, Asperger’s Dyndrome, Dyspraxia, Postural Disorder, Motor Coordination Disorders, Speech Disorders, Learning Disabilities, Executive Function Disorders, Fragile X Syndrome, Sleep Disorders, Mood Disorders, Tourette Syndrome
