Overstimulation, overwhelm and tension are problems experienced by more and more people nowadays. Despite the increasing mindfulness directed towards taking care of physical and mental health, we still experience situations during which it is difficult to relax the body. The »“UTUL” Weighted Collar« presses the Trapezius muscle, which pain is often a reaction to long-term stress. This product helps to relax the muscles, weight down and calm down the body, and even maintain the correct body posture. I wanted the collar to be comfortable during everyday activities, so I used a fastener that increases wearing comfort. “UTUL” is made of linen and has a glass microballs filling, making it machine washable. Simplicity and elegant design make the relaxing »Weighted Collar “UTUL”« present itself great not only at home but also in the workplace and other public spaces.
