The Wilbarger Thera-Pressure Protocol is one of the best proven methods to resolve Sensory Defensiveness (which can be in the form of visual, auditory or tactile defensiveness, postural or gravitational insecurity) in people of all ages from infant to adult.

 

Specialty Training: To properly and effectively administer a Wilbarger Protocol it is ESSENTIAL that you the parent be formally trained in person by a therapist who has attended a Wilbarger Sensory Defensiveness Course since January 2006, when protocol methodologies and brush were revised.  Many professionals think they are doing it correctly are the majority are not!  

 

Administration:  This pressure protocol is applied with a specially designed Thera-Pressure Brush every 2 hours without exception, while the child is awake. The pressure application is immediately followed by 15 joint compressions at each joint for further organization.

 

Sensory Diet & Monitoring:  Wilbarger Thera-Pressure Protocols are not meant to be a "stand alone" service.  They should be prescribed with rich Sensory Diets and monitored closely by a certified therapist.

 

 

Results:  Results certainly vary among individuals.  With the proper technique, intensity and program duration, our goal is for children to no longer illustrate sensory defensiveness which interferes with their development or day to day arousal.  Some "real" results in left sidebar.

 

 

 

 

**BRUSHING SHOULD ALWAYS BE DONE UNDER THE DIRECT SUPERVISION OF A WILBARGER TRAINED THERAPIST!!!!!
