A form of occupational therapy in which special exercises are used to strengthen the patient's sense of touch (tactile), sense of balance (vestibular), and sense of where the body and its parts are in space (proprioceptive).

It appears to be effective for helping patients with movement disorders or severe under- or over-sensitivity to sensory input.
