Torticollis and why we don’t stretch the neck.

❤️Good Love❤️ Feeling the love this week with this little sweet pea in town! ~ Despite being born with Torticollis, which causes a head tilt, he's been such a hard worker and is now talking up a storm. His parents were given neck stretching exercises, but he still has the tilt. I never use neck stretching on kids with Torticollis because it’s painful. Instead, I focus on addressing the trunk restrictions that are keeping him from moving comfortably. ~ For this little guy, my AKAP stretch is more important than DMI, even though we can do both at the same time. You can learn the AKAP Stretch by watching the highlight on my Instagram page. ~ I can’t wait to see how far this little guy is going to go now that he has more head control—check out his sitting! ~ Questions? Comments? Let me know your thoughts below! ~ Hi, I’m Dana and I have been a pediatric physical therapist for 25 years. You can read more about my practice at the top of my channel. ~ I see kids for a lot of different disabilities including developmental delay, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, genetic disorders, dystrophies, and more. I cannot give individualized medical advice on social media and you need your doctors permission to try any exercises with your child. A therapist needs to be trained in order to perform these highly skilled exercises. ~ I see kids for intensives in Cary, North Carolina for 1,2, or 3 weeks for 2 visits per day. We are able to show a lot of progress with our little patients and I share that to bring hope to other parents around the world. You can find booking information at the link at the top of my channel. We also accept donations for kids that may not be able to pay for therapy. Please see 502(c)(3) link at top of channel. ~ I don’t share diagnoses or personal info of each child on my page because kids aren’t defined by their diagnosis. It’s my philosophy and you can read more about it on my website which is linked at the top of my channel. ~ #physicaltherapy #baby #nicu #newmom #plagiocephaly #helmet
