Re: Re: Left Musular Torticollis-Exercises

[Guest guest]

We are seeing a PT tomorrow. Thank you for that.. I'm going to bring that up. I've been told to encourage looking to the left with toys and such, but I've never heard to stretch then. That makes sense. I have a question...Does anyone have any suggestions for when my daughter is on her back?? She is too young to spend very long at all in tummy time..unless she is sleeping, to the left and supervised of course. I carry her a lot, sitting up, and try to wear her, although she doesnt like it sometimes. But she needs exercise too, and to move her limbs. She can only do this on her back looking at toys or a developmental mobile. I try to place things toward the left, but sometimes she is just looking straight up after I walk away for a minute. Her plagio is getting worse and worse. Any thoughts?ThanksSent from my iPhoneOn May 9, 2009, at 11:28 PM, "ambloved"

I don't know if anyone else has suggested this, but my PT suggested turning my son so that he had to turn his own head to look at something interesting as a way of gently stretching his neck. Then I could stretch it just a little more and he would not fuss or cry so much and it got better much faster than me just doing the stretches. That said, tort comes back and you do need to see a professional to see how the exercises are done to use them later.

And I have left a message for my ped to call me back for a possible referral to a PT. My new question is...Does anyone live in the Los Angeles area, and do you know of a PT that specializes in torts there? Anyone that has a recommendation?
