Torticollis

Hi everyone, my baby was diagnosed with torticollis when he was 6 months old, and we’ve been regularly attending physiotherapy sessions through the NHS. We’ve also been doing the recommended stretching exercises 2-3 times a day. However, he’s now almost 10 months, and we haven’t noticed any significant improvement—his neck is still tilted to the left most of the time. Has anyone else experienced this? Are we on the right track, or is there more we should be doing? Any advice or suggestions would be really appreciated!

My son had torticollis from birth, I found the NHS physio helpful but by far what helped the most was going to an osteopath. We've been seeing her since he was 5 weeks old, and it made the world of difference. He still has a very slight head tilt but absolutely nothing cpmpared to before where he couldnt turn his head to the left at all!

@Anais is it too late now? He’s almost 10months now..taking to an osteopath will work now?

I dont see why it wouldnt help! Osteopaths can help with many issues, don't think the age matters. Its worth a try!
