Guest guest Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Hi, We finally took for a PT evaluation. Since he still preferred to turn right, I thought he might have a mild neck problem, even though nobody else seemed overly concerned about his neck. Well, it turns out he does not have tort or even much of a neck issue. He was diagnosed with overall mild body muscle/posture imbalances, probably present at birth. It is mostly in his back and chest. These imbalances are causing him to turn right and probably contributed to the plagio. After only a few therapy sessions, he is already turning left more. On the bright side, although I feel horrible about 's plagio, I don't feel quite as guilty since it isn't our fault he was born with this tendency. Although we, and the pediatrician, should have realized it sooner. I'm thinking it is a good idea for any baby with plagio to have an extensive PT evaluation. -Kathy, mom to turning 22 months, treated for plagio since 12 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
