Guest guest Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 I have a question for all of you veterans. My 6-month old son, , has been diagnosed with Tort as well as Plagio. We just had our PT eval for the Tort. I always noticed that he has a strong preference for looking to the right (thus the flat spot on that side). But I hadn't really noticed his " tilt " until the therapist pointed out - now it is noticable to me. For those of you who have gone through PT for Tort - what were your results? I can get to look to the left, but the tilt seems like it will be more difficult. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Hi there- My son was diagnosed with tort at his 2 month well visit and it was resolved through PT within 3 months. His tilt was not overly pronounced (at least not to me), but he would NOT look to his left unless forced to. I do know that some babies can take longer in PT than others, I believe we may have been on the short end of things. Just be diligent with the exercises at home as directed and everything should be fine. Hopefully your PT will show you, but a stability/exercise ball is great for working on neck strength and the tilt (you sit or lay him across it and gently sway him back and forth, which forces him to adjust his head to balance), so if you don't have one at home, I would recommend picking one up. Good luck! Jake-2 (tort resolved/rt plagio/DOCBand #2 14 weeks) Jordan-4 > > I have a question for all of you veterans. > My 6-month old son, , has been diagnosed with Tort as well as > Plagio.
