Clinical protocols drawn from the Neurosage Clinics of Lake Charles practice, broken down into clear steps you can apply at home.
Foundational
Playful, cross-lateral movement — crawling, climbing over obstacles, reaching across the body — that exercises the coordination patterns underlying attention, regulation, and learning. Movement drives brain maturation; cross-body patterns ask both sides of the brain to work together.
Clinical Protocol
A predictable sequence of deep-pressure input in the hour before bed, to help a seeking or restless body settle toward sleep. Deep pressure through muscles and joints is organizing input for many children, and delivering it at the same point in the evening builds a cue the nervous system can rely on.
Clinical Protocol
Short bursts of muscle-and-joint work placed just before the transitions that are usually hard — leaving the house, starting homework, coming to the table. Heavy work gives the nervous system organizing input at the moments it needs it most.
Emerging Evidence
A gentle, pressure-free framework for expanding a selective eater’s accepted foods. Restrictive eating is usually sensory in origin — texture, smell, and predictability matter more than taste — and pressure at the table almost always narrows the diet further. Exposure without demand is the path.
