Torticollis is a term that describes asymmetrical posturing of the head and neck. A baby with this condition often has their chin pointed in the direction of the opposite shoulder. Torticollis is sometimes present at birth or can develop over the first few months of life.
Torticollis is most often due to tightness in the muscle that connects the breastbone and the collarbone to the skull (it's called the sternocleidomastoid). This tightness might have developed because of the way your baby was positioned in the uterus or because of trauma to the muscle during delivery. Babies can also develop torticollis in the first few months of life commonly from the way the head is positioned at home. In rare cases a child can develop torticollis as a result of another condition.
With early detection and treatment, torticollis can be resolved with physical therapy. In physical therapy Anna will teach you stretches, positioning techniques and strengthening activities to complete with your baby. The younger your baby, the easier treatment will be for both you and your baby.
A condition found in babies distinguished by the skull being misshaped or flattened. The incidence of plagiocephaly has significantly increased since the "Back to Sleep" campaign was introduced in the early 1990's.
Plagiocephaly is commonly a result of pressure being applied to the same part of a babies thin and malleable (flexible) skull. This may be a result of many scenarios including:
Torticollis
Prematurity
Positioning in the womb
Weakness
Positioning with sleeping
Positioning in car seats, swings and bouncy seats
Depending on the severity and the babies age either repositional therapy or cranial orthotic therapy (custom fitted helmet) is recommended. Anna is a true believer in repositional therapy to prevent and treat mild to moderate plagiocepaly. Repositional therapy involves educating parents and caretakers on positioning, tummy time and strengthening activities to decrease pressure on the flattened area of the head.
