- Torticollis is a condition in which a baby's head is "twisted" or turned to the side and tilted to the opposite side. Here the babies have their head tilted to the left and rotated to the right. It can also happen in adults but this playlist is dedicated to the treatment of torticollis in babies. I would like to thank Bode's family who allowed me to come into their home for 6 hours at a time to film him starting when he was 1 month old. ...And then to return and do it again. Wow! Bode does not have torticollis. Bode was quite tolerant of being turned and stretched this way and that. I hope you find these videos useful. If you believe your baby has torticollis, consult your doctor and a pediatric physical therapist with experience treating a child with torticollis for a program specifically designed to address your specific child's recommendations. Do not delay. Earlier treatment is predictive of better outcomes and shorter treatment.
Here are the clinical guidelines for treatment of congenital Muscular Torticollis:

Wonderful! Thank you for letting me know.
Please explain my baby head is titled towards left..so for stretches should I turn it towards right?
Typically a baby who has left-sided Torticollis will tilt the head toward the left and rotate their head toward the right. You do stretches and strengthening in the opposite directions.
Should babywearing be limited as well? Or would it be ok if I keep adjusting their head to the side they are tight on?
I cannot speak to your baby because I have not evaluated your child, but I do like baby wearing in moderation, of course. It would be prudent to be aware of alignment and discourage, allowing the child to turn his head to the preferred side for significant amounts of time.
How would you help a stomach sleeper? My baby is starting to have some facial asymmetry
I am a proponent of the back to sleep program which is reaction the US
Ms My child is 1year 3month old and suffering through it.if I regularly try these exercise daiy at home,can he get better soon.
In video number one I discuss how important it is to catch this early. I believe you can certainly change your daughter’s outcome. Here is my playlist so you can see all of my suggestions. I wish you the very best: czcams.com/play/PLAkJbMrHyKjOS1oT3rtE8PzHf_KL-dAz9.html
My baby look at left side when put down but when he sits he tilts to the right...
Sounds like it could be Torticollis
I’m working with a baby who has made slow and little progress with sitting upright unsupported and supported. Unable to hold their head upright or tolerate sitting. Upper and lower extremities Muscles are very tight . What type of seat or chairs do you recommend ?? Thank you !
I am sorry. You will need to consult with a local therapist who can assist you. What’s this limited information I am unable to make recommendations.
This part always confuses me. My lo turns his head to the right. Would I be turning him to the left to stretch him out.
Typically when a child turns his head to the right it is the left sternocleidomastoid that is tight. So you would work on turning the head to the left and stretching the neck muscles on the left toward the right in terms of tilt
You would follow the videos for left-sided Torticollis
@@pediatricPTexercises thank you. Our Dr gave us some stretches but she didn't specify which ones we should focus on. We try to do both bit now i know which side to start with because he will only tolerate the stretch once b4 he realizes what going on and resists. 😅
@@curreypanda6640 I hope the videos are helpful for you
My baby is 4month old he is having torticollis.can u please tell how many months it might take to resolve
The earlier you address, the Torticollis, the quicker the children resolve. You would need a local therapist to assess your child to know how quickly they will improve. The difficulties with rotation improved before the head tilt improves in most cases.
My baby who is nearly 6 months is always on his right side but we’re trying different exercises now (was in hospital for prolonged time and is a preemie baby. Born 6 weeks early). Because he’s always on his right could this be why he struggles to lift his head up and has poor head control?
Children with Torticollis have poor head control, but children have poor head control for other reasons too. Please consult with a local pediatric therapist
@@pediatricPTexercises He doesn’t have hypotonia or hypertonia and can lift his head but his head lag is quite bad. Are there exercises specifically for helping improve head lag?
I strongly recommend you find a local pediatric physical therapist who can help you. In the meantime, here is my head control playlist.

Can I know Hypoxia is having an operation or not, my baby Hypoxia and pneumonia
