Wilbarger Brushing Protocol

The Wilbarger Brushing Protocol typically takes 2–3 minutes to complete. Using moderate, even pressure, the brush is gently applied to the arms, back, legs, and feet to provide deep-pressure sensory input. This input may help promote a sense of calm, improve body awareness, and support sensory regulation.

Important: The face, chest, and stomach should never be brushed, as these areas are highly sensitive and may cause adverse reactions. The Wilbarger Brushing Protocol should only be implemented under the guidance of a qualified occupational therapist or healthcare professional.

This sensory brush is suitable for children and adults who may benefit from additional sensory support as part of their daily routine.
