Slow, rhythmic pressure using a bouncy therapy ball is more than a calming activity - it’s powerful neurological input. Here’s why our therapists use it: 🔹 Activates the parasympathetic nervous system – reduces cortisol and helps the body shift from “fight or flight” to “rest and regulate.” 🔹 Provides proprioceptive input – deep pressure tells the brain “where the body is in space”, improving body awareness and organisation. 🔹 Supports sensory modulation – consistent, predictable input calms

⭐️A therapy ball is one of my must - have of equipment. Her’s how I use it to meet my kids sensory needs: 1. For both sensory seeking and sensory sensitive children, whole body deep pressure input like receiving hugs and being wrapped in a blanket can be extremely comforting and grounding. I love giving ball squeezes to help my kids (patients) with feelings of calm. ——————————————————————————————-#sensoryintegration #sensoryactivities #therapyball #sensoryseeking #sensorysensitive #adhd #autism
