I have found that the physical therapists often getting a sampliing of babies with different bands. Can you ask her which band company she would recommend?

Who should I go to for a band?--need recommendations for the Cleveland area!

Hi Everyone,I'm new here. I'm trying to decide quickly what to do for my son's plagio, measured at 15 cm. I've tried positioning since 4 mths and was told it would round out, which it did a little, but still measured 15 cm (He must have been really bad before!). He's now 11 months old.I'm in the Cleveland area and have spoken with Kirsten s who measures babies for the Star Band. Has anyone worked with her? I don't know how the Star Band works for older babies. I'm also wondering if there are other parents who have used the star band successfully with older babies (mine has moderate plagio).I also have heard that Dr. Murthy from the Akron Craniofacial clinic does bands/helmets but am not sure what kind. Has anyone worked with him?I'm also looking into the DOC Band. I've heard great things about it and am thinking about getting it since I have such a limited time, but I would have to go to Chicago.Any advice would surely be appreciated!Thanks,PS. My physical therapist is Karmel Ross in Cleveland, and I would highly highly recommend her if anyone in this area has a baby with torticollis. She even has a book on Amazon.

Hi and ,

Thank you both so much for your responses! I will plan to ask those questions to

the Kirsten and I'll keep talking with my son's physical therapist too.

Hopefully I'll get this all figured out.

Thanks again!!!
