Our senses (touch, sight, hearing, tasting, and movement) give our brain the information about our physical state of our body and of our surrounding environment. The brain then organizes all of this information and directs certain systems to respond for us in order to interact easily in our world. When sensations flow in a well-organized or integrated manner and when the brain knows how to respond effectively, we experience healthy responses such as perceptions, behaviors, and learning. Sensory Integration Treatment is for children and adults who are not experiencing sensations in an organized way. When difficulties with sensory processing occur our stress levels will often rise, creating unhealthy body responses such as muscle tightening. Our body's way of responding to stress can easily become automatic and habitual, causing discomfort and sometimes pain. At Orlanu Therapies, our individualized treatment plan provides environments that are rich in sensory experiences to strengthen each person's awareness of our senses and how we respond to them.
