Guest guest Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 The doctor just told me that she thinks my 4.5 month old may have " some " torticollis that might be contributing to the positional plagiocephaly and she is referring him for physical therapy. He can turn his head to the left but 99% of the time chooses not to and gets mad when you force it back. Has anyone had success with physical therapy? I have tried very hard to reposition him but he will not sleep until his head is laying to the right, on the flat spot. I'll go in when he is sleeping to reposition and he will turn back in his sleep 5 min later. His forhead sticks out more on the right side too. The doctors said he has mild-moderate positional plagiocephaly but does not recommend a band/helmet at this time b/c she thinks PT will help. I am worried that his head will get worse and will be harder to treat. Any advice on PT and repositioning babies who will fight until they are back to the comfort spot? He will not stay on his side and thrusts himself off of the wedge. I also have a bobby noggins nest but it doesn't seem to be helping since his head is always turned.
