The Wilbarger Brushing Protocol is a treatment often recommended by therapists as a solution to decrease tactile defensiveness. Wilbarger Brushes can be used alongside the use of weighted products and deep pressure activities, and a well balanced sensory diet. It is essential any sensory defensiveness is addressed and monitored by an Occupational Therapist or professional who can guide you on safe and appropriate treatment & techniques that will not cause distress to the child or adult. The Wilbarger brushes approach includes application of firm rapid pressure touch with a non-scratching brush with many bristles to the arms, hands, back, legs and feet. This is followed by gentle joint compressions to the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, ankles and sometimes fingers and feet. The Wilbarger Brushing technique should be demonstrated by a knowledgeable therapist. Cautions: Never use a therapy brush on the head, neck, chest and stomach. These are not Wilbarger products. These are not a toy.
