Equipment: Stick-end of the paintbrush

alternate tool: end of a knitting needle or crochet hook

Technique: Quick strokes to the outer edge of the foot - such as you would strike a match- going from the heel UP to the base of the pinky toe with deep pressure, you want the flesh to indent as you stroke

Frequency:

• 1-2 x daily
• R brain weakness: 10 quick X strokes on the Right foot and 20 on the Left foot
• L brain weakness: 10 X strokes on the Left foot and 20 on the Right foot
• Global Delay - begin with R brain protocol above (we will discuss when and if you move to the left side)

Positive reactions:

• extension or flaring backward of the toes
• twitching or reactions of the whole foot
• pulling away of the entire leg
• emotional reactions such as anger or tears

Scoring:

• 4: more than 75% of strokes react
• 3: 50-75% react
• 2: 25-50% react
• 1: less than 25% react
• 0: zero reaction to strokes = INTEGRATION

Integration has occurred when you get zero reactions during all brush strokes
