Brushing and Joint Compression Techniques: A Sensory Integration Tool in Sensory Deprived Individuals

This article offers an overview of the sensory integration techniques of brushing and joint compression. Far beyond a simple how-to guide, this article serves as a foundational understanding of why the techniques are utilized in sensory deprived individuals, the benefits and dangers, as well as a general discussion on why the technique works at all. It is perfect for parents or loved ones of special needs children or it may be a great resource for professionals who work with this demographic and find themselves having to explain this procedure often. It is not written in overly complicated jargon, and is not intended to be a how-to guide as much as a guide to understanding the techniques themselves and their effects on the body.
