Guest guest Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I have no information on the CST, but my DS's condition sounds similar to your DD's. He is in his first band-started at 8 months old with 22 mm CVA. I was looking at his band tonight and the one ear starts almost as far back as the other side ends-WOW! Taking a good look at the band upside down was a real eye-opener. Anyway, His left eye is bigger than his right. Was your daughter banded for 10 months, or is she 10 months old now? At what age did she start? If not banded for 10 months for how long? My twin DS's have been in their bands about 6 weeks and I see improvement in head shape, but not in the asymmetry. How long did it take to see improvement there? Which CT did you go to? We go to Paramus.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 First, I spelled myofascial incorrectly.... oops! My DD was banded when she was almost 5 months old. She was in her first band for 6 weeks, second for 8 weeks and has been in her third for 8 weeks now. Her head shape looks pretty good - especially the flat spot she had on the back right hand side of her head. She now needs more growth on her left forehead. I can't recall how long it took for the improvement in her overall head shape - it's been a gradual thing. But, it does look pretty good now. Did CT tell you how long they think your DS would be in this band? Do they think he may need a second? I've heard that facial symmetry is the last to correct, but am not quite sure how long that would be. My DD has been in her bands now for almost 22 weeks now. But, she has come a long way! > > > > Has anyone had any experience with mysofacial release (craniosacral > > therepy CST) for facial assymmetry, particularly with the eyes?
