Stimulus stress occurs when the body becomes overloaded by too much noise, movement, information, or emotion. Deep pressure is one of the most effective ways to reduce this—and this has been scientifically proven.
The body responds immediately to firm but gentle pressure: the nervous system switches to relaxation, muscles relax and breathing becomes calmer.
Hugsback makes this response accessible and warm.
Why Deep Pressure Works
Deep pressure:
- activates the parasympathetic nervous system
- lowers stress hormones
- stimulates calming hormones such as serotonin and oxytocin
- stabilizes emotions
- gives a feeling of security
The body is soothed from within.
Who is deep pressure effective for?
- children (sensory sensitivity, hyperactive behavior, fatigue)
- adults (stress, emotional burden, work pressure)
- elderly (confusion, tension, sensitivity to stimuli)
- people with autism, ADHD or anxiety
It is a universally effective form of rest.
