Summary:
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.

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

Sensory deprivation can distract an individual from higher cognitive processing and functioning. Brushing and Joint Compression Techniques were developed as a way to provide sensory integration to wake up the nerves, muscles, and bones to relieve this distraction.

Sensory deprived individuals often crave tactile sensations and have difficulty tuning in to requests that require higher cognitive processing. One of the tools used to treat sensory deprivation includes deep brushing and joint compression techniques to "wake up" the tactile nerves. There are many benefits to the use of this brushing and compression combo treatment including increased awareness which may prepare the individual for higher stimulatory environments. Many researchers suggest that the optimum "dosage" of this treatment may be as much as every two hours every day. However, some research does suggest that excessive use may cause damage to the tibio-femoral joint, commonly referred to as the knee. This risk is likely due to bad technique by the one administering the joint compressions. Therefore, it is important to note that this technique is being described for the sole purpose of informing you about the procedure and it´s possible benefits, not to encourage you to try it unnecessarily without trained supervision. I strongly urge you to please seek a professional opinion before attempting to utilize these procedures in the comfort of your own home.
