Yep! Some people use it to regulate blood pressure/heart rate (eg. for POTS or similar conditions). It can also be used to calm someone down, basically the same way a weighted blanket does. I have him do it mainly for my anxiety, and it is grounding when I get overwhelmed/overstimulated.

Before Jäger got too rowdy and big, I had him lay on my legs for some DPT for my Dysautonomia (which POTS is a type of). It was great! And it didn't just help my circulation, it also regulated my nervous system and it just felt sooo good. I wish he were calm enough to keep doing it.
