What Is A Weighted Neck Wrap?Why Would You Want and improve concentration. Do you have significant neck tension, headaches, and upper back pains? Does your child with autism or ADHD need help with concentration and sitting still long enough to learn adequately? In addition, do they exhibit inappropriate stimming behaviors from sensory integration dysfunction? Is anyone in your home stressed out? If so, these signs may mean that you need more proprioceptive inputs in order to feel properly grounded. Just the right amount of deep pressure promotes calmness and provides security. But, what do you use that is simple and portable and inexpensive? Well, why not try a weighted neck wrap (also called a weighted snake)? These neck wraps are sooooooo comfortable! My daughter does not want to take hers off! And I like to relax with mine! You can specify a soft and fuzzy fleece texture or a soft and smooth silky fabrics. Both types are very durable. The fleece can be cooled in the freezer or warmed in the dryer to aid sore neck muscles and to help with relaxation. They also make terrific fidget toys especially with the pockets. My other daughter often fidgets with her neck wrap in the car on the way to ballet classes. Various lengths and weights are available depending on your individual needs. You may also want to consider a weighted vest and a weighted lap pad. A weighted blanket is highly desirable if you have sleep problems. Every household needs to have at least one neck wrap. Ideally, everyone should have their own! Plus, they make great gifts for any occasion!
