Guest guest Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Torticollis will certainly influence the development of hand and arm reflexes: Hands Pulling, Hands Supporting and Babkin Palmomental. You can find exercises to work with these reflexes in the manual which you can purchase here: http://masgutovamethod.com/shop/estoreIt is highly likely that there is impingement of cranial nerve 11 (Accessory), quite possibly where it leaves the skull between the bones that make up the base and the sides. If you have an assessment by someone skilled in cranial joint organization; Masgutova is very good, as are many Osteopaths and Manual Therapists, you may see immediate results.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 same here.. i have an 8 1/2 year old son with torticollis. it was pretty severe at birth and he worked with a PT for a year and then a cranial sacral therapist for another year. it has gotten to be much better but just the other day when i asked him to try to straighten his head while he was sitting up in a chair, he said, "it makes me dizzy when i do that.". of course an alarm went off. what other symptoms are some parents seeing with their kids who have torticollis? i am wondering what kind of effect it has on the brain, behavior, and earning. thanks! laurie From: Kipper <sandrakipper13@...> Sent: Fri, April 29, 2011 6:43:34 AMSubject: Re: MNRI and torticollis I am really interested in this issue as well; I have had a few kids in my classes with torticollis.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 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.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Has someone checked for spina bifida or other formation of the hips? I have mild spina bifida on the left hip and it definitely makes a difference in how the legs and pelvis relate. I also think it may account for mild scoliosis.
