The Body Socks Layered Lycra Therapy Hammock offers a supportive sensory environment designed to encourage calm movement, body awareness, and sensory regulation. Constructed from multiple layers of breathable four-way stretch Lycra and nylon, the hammock provides gentle resistance and deep-pressure sensory input while allowing freedom of movement.

Whether used for gentle swaying, quiet sensory breaks, or supported movement activities, the hammock can assist with sensory regulation, body awareness, motor planning, and relaxation.

Crafted in Australia, the hammock is available in either four or six layers, with colours selected at random. The layered design creates adaptive resistance that responds to individual sensory preferences and movement styles.

Therapist Tips

• Experiment with different attachment points to vary movement intensity
• Encourage slow, controlled movement patterns
