A spiky sensory brush (also known as a Therapressure or Wilbarger protocol brush) is a handheld therapy tool with soft plastic or silicone spikes. It is primarily used in occupational therapy to provide deep, calming pressure that helps regulate the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and improve sensory processing.
