Deep pressure therapy has been studied for years by scientists, therapists, and healthcare professionals. The effects are clear: deep, even pressure helps both children and adults better cope with stress, tension, and stimuli.
Research shows that deep pressure:
- tension decreases
- fear reduces
- sleep quality improves
- the feeling of security increases
- concentration improves
- behavior stabilizes
Hugsback fits perfectly within these research findings and offers a simple way to apply this proven method at home and in healthcare.
Key research findings
Journal of Occupational Therapy (2019)
→ Improvement in rest moments and less stimulus overload in children.
Sleep Medicine Review (2020)
→ Deep pressure helps you fall asleep faster and sleep more deeply.
Frontiers in Psychology (2022)
→ Increased feelings of security, lower stress response, more relaxation.
These results confirm that deep pressure is not a trend — but an evidence-based therapeutic principle.
Why does deep pressure work so broadly?
Because it communicates directly with the nervous system.
The body responds immediately without cognitive effort.
That's why it works for:
- ADHD
- autism
- anxiety disorders
- stress
- sensory problems
- dementia
- general unrest
