The OTvest™ — Because WHERE the weight is positioned MATTERS
Calming, comfortable, and clinically designed — the OTvest™ is a stylish denim weighted vest that delivers targeted deep-pressure sensory therapy to improve focus and attention, reduce anxiety, and support trunk stability and improved balance. Developed and patented by an occupational therapist, its unique, flat weight insert lies directly on the body for maximum effectiveness while using less total weight than other vests.
Why the OTvest works:
- Patented weight placement: flat, evenly distributed weights lie directly on the chest and upper back for effective deep-pressure input.
- Efficient design: dense weight material and one consolidated insert mean less total weight is required for the same therapeutic effect.
- Physics-informed: pressure is applied down onto the body rather than hanging from pockets or hems, increasing calming and sensory benefit.
- Durable and discreet: looks like a casual denim vest while delivering reliable therapy.
