Weighted shoulder wraps provide amazingly calming deep pressure that helps to reach a calm and relaxed state. 

The weight of the wraps stimulates the serotonin production in the body. It’s a vital chemical that aids in easing relaxation and regulating mood. Weighted shoulder wraps create the feeling of a “hug,” produce serotonin, and calm the nervous system. This helps to reduce the frequency and intensity of meltdowns.

Weighted shoulder wraps can cause physiological changes in your nervous system, helping you tame panic attacks and feel calmer faster. They can also help people with obsessive-compulsive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.

A number of random studies found that weighted shoulder wraps can even alleviate uncontrollable thoughts, making them very useful for people with obsessive overthinking habits.
