Deep pressure therapy (DPT) or deep touch pressure (DTP) is a sensory integration therapy used to help calm neurodivergent people with sensory processing sensitivity through the application of a firm, gentle pressure to the body. DPT may be applied with weighted blankets, weighted vests, hug machines, or a heavy pet. [1]
DPT provides a soothing sensation akin to a warm, reassuring embrace that can help regulate the nervous system and decrease stress.
