The Science behind CALMR

The Science Behind CALMR

Our garments use Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS) combined with anatomical and neuroscience insights. DPS is a technique that has been scientifically proven to work in weighted blankets. When applied, this pressure signals the brain to feel secure, activating the parasympathetic nervous system. This promotes a "rest and digestion" state, shifting away from the "fight or flight" response, helping you feel calm and relaxed.

Why It Works

Just like how massage therapists use manual therapy to help with relaxation, improve sleep, lower heart rates, and enhance mood, our garments provide similar benefits. Weighted blankets are known for these effects, but they are typically used at night and aren’t portable.

We thought, why not bring this calming science into everyday use? That’s why we created a range of garments that you can wear throughout the day. These garments offer the same benefits as a weighted blanket, but in a portable form, providing you with a sense of relaxation and stress relief whenever you need it.

Perfect for Everyone

Whether you’re a busy professional, a student seeking focus, or someone with sensory needs like those on the autism spectrum or with ADHD, our products can help. Many people find that our garments help with anxiety, stress relief, mood enhancement, and transitioning from a state of 'fight or flight' to a calmer, more relaxed body and mind.

Also....We highly recommend, the late, Dr Michael Mosley's accessible science podcast 'Deep Calm.' He explains the science behind these effects exceptionally well. Listen to it on BBC Sounds, episodes 2-3.
