Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Hi Bekah, I looked at Georgia. She is a cute girl :-) However she does have an irregularly shaped head, and some facial asymmetry. Do you know if she has torticollis? Tort is when one side of the neck has tighter muscles, so the baby tends to tilt, favor one side, etc. This can be a big contributor to plagio and facial asymmetry. Physical Therapy is needed to resolve tort. I also think she would benefit from a band. I notice the problem most in her forehead area, when looking from the top. And from the side view her head if pretty flat at the back and she has some extra volume at the top (vs. rounding above the neck). You should be able to get good correction with a band. Do you know what the local options for banding are? My daughter wore a starband from a very experienced ortho. Some people choose to travel to cranial tech for a docband. There are also other options. You should make sure that whomever you choose to work with has good experience in banding babies since that is key to getting good results. -christine sydney, almost 3 yrs, starband grad > > Thanks for the answered questions thus far:) I was wondering if > anyone could look at the album titled " Georgia " and give an opinion on > the shape of her head.
