Re: We've graduated!--Dory

[Guest guest]

Hi Dory. had a smidgen of tort. and CTI gave me some exercises

to do with him. Honestly, we stopped doing the exercises after 2

weeks because just wouldn't have anything to do with them and

it would take a trained eye to see the tort. I think I will continue

to try to get him to exercise his neck, but since it was such a mild

case, I'm not that concerned. BTW, my neurologist didn't say

anything about tort either.

You can encourage him to move the way he normally doesn't by positioning

yourself that way or putting toys and other interesting things that way. If

he is quite mobile, it can be a game with you moving around while he has to

keep turning the way you want him to in order to see you.
