The Therapressure Brush is specially designed for sensory brushing therapy, often following the Wilbarger Protocol, a technique developed by occupational therapist Patricia Wilbarger. This method involves brushing the skin in specific patterns and providing deep pressure input to help children:
-
Reduce sensory defensiveness – children who overreact to touch can become calmer and more comfortable with everyday sensations.
-
Improve body awareness – brushing stimulates proprioception, helping kids understand where their body is in space.
-
Enhance focus and regulation – many children feel more alert and able to concentrate after sessions.
Used correctly, the Therapressure Brush can be a powerful tool for children with sensory processing challenges, providing calming and organising input that supports daily life, learning, and play.
