Beluga weighted pressure vest for children

The Beluga weighted pressure vest for children is an innovative tool, specially developed for children who benefit from an adjustable level of pressure and weight for better proprioceptive feedback. This vest is an excellent alternative to the Squease inflatable pressure vest, with its unique approach focused on both weight and pressure stimulation.

This vest is ideal for children with low to moderate muscle tone (hypotonia). It offers less weight pressure but a clear pressure through tensile force, which is essential for children who need extra sensory input to become aware of their body in space. The adjustable design ensures that the vest, despite normal growth, lasts at least two years.

Children with conditions such as ADHD, autism, dementia, physical or intellectual disabilities, or neurological diseases often experience problems with proprioception. This disturbance in perception can lead to excessive (hypertonic) or insufficient (hypotonic) energy, psychological or physical unrest, poor impulse control, or complex stimulus processing. The Beluga weighted pressure vest can play an important role in the treatment and support of these children.

The vest not only offers a sense of safety and security but also stimulates the sensors in the skin and sends new stimuli to the nervous system. This stimulation helps the brain to build up muscle tone in the trunk, contributing to better posture and motor control. The weight and pressure of the vest simulate the embracing pressure experienced in the womb, which has a deep, calming effect.

In all cases, personal attention and a sense of connection are fundamental to a child's development. The Beluga weighted pressure vest is an additional tool to support therapies such as occupational therapy, speech therapy, or physiotherapy, and can contribute to a faster and more effective treatment.
