Place brush onto palm of the left hand and begin strokes both up and down with enough pressure to indent the skin, but not enough to cause pain. Once the brush (soft plastic surgical brush –ONLY) has been placed on the body do not lift until brushing strokes are complete. (Champagne, T., 2007)īrushing should be completed 4x/day for 15 minutes each session. When this system is unable to organize the information appropriately, a variety of symptoms can present motor delays, tactile defensiveness, learning disorders, social or emotional difficulties, speech, and language deficits or attention disorders.” (Champagne, T., 2007)īenefits of deep pressure and proprioceptive technique: (1) improving ability to transition between activities/ tasks (2) decreasing tactile defensiveness (3) increasing self-regulational skills (4) improving ability of the nervous system to process information from the surrounding environment (5) increased attention and focus. When this system functions well, it allows a person to interact with their environment efficiently, developing necessary motor and language skills, and appropriate social/ emotional behavior. The brain then organizes it, sends it back through the nervous system for use as understanding, adaption, learning, and skill development. The sensory systems feed information from our environment, through sensory receptors, and neural impulses via our nervous system, directly to the brain.

“Our skin is our largest sensory organ, followed closely by our muscles and skeleton, connected by our nervous system, and governed by our brain. Brushing is a technique used in sensory integration treatment to promote self-organization and attention as well as to decrease signs and symptoms of sensory defensiveness.
