Re: Jen:Neck advise please

March 7, 2010

Jen, yes my son does bend to the side in sort of a c shape, both laying and

sitting! they took xrays and his spine is bending slightly to the left,

opposite his ® tort side. He is a bit out of balance, his tort is actually

much better but his body is asymetrical we are still doing PT for this. No

other abnormalities were onserved, so just advised to return to see if its

getting worse in 6 mos. very odd and frustarting. Just thought I'd update you.

thanks for your advice. glad your daughter got resolved!
