Brushing Therapy Reviews

Show: for
We just started. It kind of works; I think we need to keep it up for a longer time.
The brushing works, if it's intensive (like every 2 hours) but now that she is in Kindergarten, it's not easy to do it as often.
I used this for quite a long time as a child. This massively helped me, it allowed touch to be tolerable. I still have problems, but they are managable
i dont do it enough, but i do it at night, before sleep and she loves it (with the joint compressions)
i plan to do it more often though
and trying to find out more....
Used this in the very beginning of occupational therapy, when he was oversensitive to being touched, getting his hair cut, etc. Worked well for us - used it for 4-6 weeks - saw great improvement.

This was the best therapy every!!!!!!
she ask at times to be brushed. there are sometimes when she refuses to be brushed but generally it helps calm her. i am going to increase the amount that I do this to see if we get better results.
Just started today (2-6-12)
