Re : Re: MNRI and torticollis

[Guest guest]

My son is born with torticolis. He's still suffering from it. I think it has an effect on the relexes espacially neck asymetric and labyrinth; I am french speaking so my english is not so good. So he has some problems with writing at school, balance and space (he doesn't like playing with lego, puzzle,...). And with all the work done with ostheopath and cranial therapy, he is still having his head not in the axe. Hope it can help!HédiaDe : Eileen

As a parent only (no therapy background here), I was in a training class that Svetlana was teaching in San Mateo last year. My son was born with slight torticolis, but, with neck stretching exercises we were able to "right" his head.

BUT, Svetlana said that at some very young age (in months that I cannot recall), when the baby is on their stomach and holding their head up, the eyes and optical nerve set the x/y axis grid in front your face. So if you are looking forward your "horizontal" plane. Now if your head was always tilted to the side, that plane would not be from ear to ear as typical. So when you right your head, your horizon is off if your horizon was set when your head was always tilted to the side.

That is as much as I remember, but I do remember it made a profound impact on me, to know that might account for some of my sons balance problems with learning to walk.

Hopefully someone with more techinical knowledge would be able to explain what I am recalling from that training meeting.

He is 3 years old, PDD-NOS and dyspraxia, and dystonia.
