torticollis Therapy
Torticollis, or “wry neck,” is a condition in which a child’s head is tilted in one direction. If left untreated, it may lead to:
Delayed cognitive development
Delayed whole body awareness
Weakness
Difficulties with balance
Our Garden City therapists (experienced in treating torticollis and plagiocephally) work closely with the child and his/her caregiver to prevent this from happening. We work on passive stretching, therapeutic exercises, positioning, and proper motor development.
