Re: Dr. Wood at Gillette Children's Hospital

[Guest guest]

Hello to both:

I just wanted to add my experience on this issue. I bring Rhiannon

to a Cranial Osteopath who actually manipulates her skull bones.

When I first brought Rhia there her ears were about 1 inch off, or

about 1 ear off. After 1 month of treatment with the Cranial

osteopath, her ears were about 1/2 inch, or 1/2 ear off. Now, after

continued treatment, they are about 1/4 ear or 1/4 inch off.

Actually, if they stayed as they are, it's hard to tell. It is

there, but you'd have to be one of us to see it.

I do believe that that muscle tension can pull the ears/face off into

misalignment, so that would stand to reason that getting the muscles

to release would help them to realign.

Just my experience,

Kind regards,

, Rhiannon's mom

but did have very misaligned ears and facial asymmetry. The DOC Band

did correct this (ears are just slightly off now, after being about

an inch off), and we did not go to physio or do stretches at home.
