Karen L. Cook, Occupational Therapist and owner of Rehab Services, Unlimited, Inc. has used our products over the course of several years. The hug vests and hug pets have been used by her and her staff in pediatric occupational therapy and physical therapy sessions in her Lewisville, Texas, clinic. Karen has recommended our products for children needing the benefits of augmentation of sensation that the vests can provide. These benefits include enhancing body awareness with proprioceptive sensation to joints and muscles to increase body awareness; and several clients have benefited with improved postural alignment and joint stability as a result of wearing their vests. The hug vests and hug pets have proved useful during both static activities (Table related tasks, fine motor pursuits) or during active gross motor tasks (mobility and agility tasks). The parents like the stylish look of the vests, and the therapists report positive gains in sensation and alignment to add value toward meeting goals of the child's therapeutic program, as well as for promoting the child's potentials for additional sensation, comfort, and self-regulation during therapy appointments.

The hug vest is a fabulously stylish alternative to the hum drum weighted vest options currently available in the marketplace. The durable denim material makes it a strong and sturdy addition to any wardrobe.
Dr. Michelle McCarthy, Pediatric Physical therapist from Rehab Services Unlimited, Inc., in Lewisville, Texas, states "I see great benefits with use of weighted vests during balance and coordination tasks in the clinic. The added weight gives children more proprioceptive input which improves their balance and gross motor skill abilities. Improvements with posture and spinal alignment via strengthening of back extensor muscles is also noted with use of the weighted vests. Children need strengthening of their back extensor muscles to improve posture, stance and sitting. The weighted vest gives them the sensory input they need to make positive corrections then realizing they are working.
