süvatrükk

Süvatrükk, also known as deep pressure or deep touch pressure, is a type of sensory input that involves firm, sustained pressure applied to the body. This pressure can be distributed across a large area, such as a weighted blanket, or applied more specifically through massage or hugs. The primary function of süvatrükk is to promote a sense of calm and regulation within the nervous system.

This sensory input is believed to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the body's "rest and digest" response. By stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system, süvatrükk can help to reduce physiological arousal, such as a racing heart rate or shallow breathing. It can also increase the release of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which are associated with feelings of well-being and relaxation.

Süvatrükk is often utilized as a therapeutic tool for individuals who experience sensory processing differences, anxiety, stress, or sleep difficulties. Techniques like deep tissue massage, the use of weighted vests or blankets, and firm hugs are common methods for delivering süvatrükk. The intensity and duration of the pressure are typically adjusted to the individual's needs and preferences to achieve the desired calming effect. Many people find süvatrükk to be a comforting and grounding experience, aiding in emotional regulation and a sense of security.
