| Brushing...no I cant say I have heard of that term. Unless we have another term for it here in australia. Whats does it mean? |
Brushing is a technic to use on a child or an adult ..
its a small soft brush that is brushed over the body in a pattern .. then compressing joints together all the while talking about what your doing with the child... it has a calm effect ...
I worked 3 years with special needs children ....... I had children who had to wear helmets for self inflicted pain .........and the tec helped them relax enough that they would not bang the head ......... we had a child who would cry ..very emotional .. and it helped.
I had it done to me ...... and I would do it again in a heart beat!!!
