ENCYCLOPEDIA OF USES
ANXIETY
When faced with a perceived threat or danger, it is a natural physiological reaction for the body to have afight or flight response.In individuals with anxiety, this response can be triggered in situations that are not actually dangerous, leading to excessive fear and worry. Anxiety may result in constant worry and fear, difficulty concentrating, disrupted sleep, physical symptoms like headaches and nausea, avoidance of situations that trigger anxiety, and a decreased quality of life. BLAST® is a supportive tool to restore the feeling of calm and retrain the way your body perceives non-dangerous scenarios causing anxiety.
BLAST® Intervenes
TouchPoint Solution’s wearable devices are embedded with patented BLAST® (bi-lateral alternating stimulation tactile) technology.BLAST® is scientifically proven to alter the body’s “fight or flight” response caused by stress.The wearables emit alternating vibrations that disengage your standard stress response (sympathetic nervous system), and shift you into the calm, logical side of your brain (parasympathetic nervous system).
Change Occurs
When using BLAST® consistently to manage aggressive behavior, overtime you may not need them in certain situations as they become less stressful because of BLAST®. One of the ways BLAST® works is by creating new neural pathways that help modify the memories that trigger our stress response. With continued use of BLAST®, these new neural pathways can build overtime, progressively reducing the release of stress related hormones that can cause aggressive behavior.
Measurable Impact
Excess levels of cortisol may be released as your body’s response to stress that may result in agitation and irritability. A triple blind placebo-controlled trial with athletes showed TouchPoints™ stabilized cortisol levels during stressful events and reduced the level of stress. (Leal-Junior, E. C., Casalechi, H. L., Machado, C. dos, Serin, A., Hageman, N. S., & Johnson, D. S., 2019) View our full Stress Study.
“I prefer to wear TouchPoints on my wrists or holding them in my hands. I use the TouchPoints any time I feel stressed with the anxiety that I have. I use them to help with my PTSD for the night mares at night.”
