Torticollis

​

This results when the muscles one side of a baby’s neck is tighter than the other, causing the baby to favour looking in one direction. The physiotherapist can assess your baby’s neck to see where the tightness is coming from and then provide appropriate education, positioning ideas and exercises.

​

Plagiocephalis
