Protac Ball Blanket

Protac Ball Blanket creates a calming sense helping to relive sleeping disorders and mental and motor restlessness among children, adults and the elderly. The blanket is often used as a duvet at night to help with sleeping disorders or during the day when there is a need to calm the body and mind. Thanks to the deep touch pressure and constant contact, this sends stimuli to the brain and gives the user a sense of security. The distributed pressure combined with the weight of many balls provides the user with a continual update on their bodies surface - this in turn has a very calming effect.

Effect of Protac balls

We often use our sense of movement to create calmness, If we are feeling restless we go for a walk to unwind. The weight of the balls in the MyFit vest offers resistance to the users joints and muscles; a message is sent to the nervous system registered as movement and therefore creates a calming effect.

Classic

The 5cm balls are divided into compartments so that the balls can move and provide a dynamic sensory stimulation. This model is suitable for the sensory seeking individuals who need varying sensory input to be able to sense themselves and find calm. The Classic blanket is especially suitable for people who have difficulty with body awareness and keeping their body at rest. The Classic blanket can be used to great advantage in psychiatric settings as the blanket cannot be opened and disassembled by the user.
