The Therapressure Brush is the sensory brush designed by Patricia Wilbarger, the occupational therapist who developed the Wilbarger protocol, also known as “brushing therapy”.
Sensory brushes are designed to deliver a deep pressure massage to help improve sensory defensiveness. This essential tool can be used as part of the Wilbarger Brushing Protocol to help improve attention span and ability to transition between activities.

… times and they are by far one of my favorite sensory soothing tools I’ve purchased these several times and they are by far one of my favorite sensory soothing tools. I have so much success with not only children with sensory needs but also children who have experienced trauma when using this as a coping tool. Great quality and size, my favorite sensory brush brand.
