Hello. Thanks for the video. My baby- 2 months- leans her head to the right and down. Has no problem looking right, but doesn’t like to look left (if that makes sense). So should I do the first stretch you demonstrated exactly as shown in the video and the second stretch the opposite? *I’m have a referral to a PT from her pediatrician, I just wanted to do some stretches to help her in the meantime.
Hi.. Thanks for the video.. My baby always prefer to turn his head to left.... He is 1 month old.. I observed that he had torticollis.. But one doubt should it be treated as left side torticollis Or right side torticollis??
If your child tilts her his head to the left then he likely has left sided Torticollis. Here is the playlist for you. ruclips.net/p/PLAkJbMrHyKjO0FE5vu_nuV6QlEM-u3I1G
I’m sorry. Are you asking how long you should work with a child on a given day? Or, are you asking how many months does it take to treat a child with Torticollis?
hi.. im worried of my.. his 3months ans 2weeks old. base on my observation, he have this stiff neck.. on his right side..i will try this stretching..i tried massage his neck both side.
thank you so much . my baby is 8 month hes head most time on left side .that mean my baby neck torticollis on right of left . which side do i need to massage ?
If he tilts his head to his left and Rotates his head to his right, he has left-sided Torticollis. If he tilts his head to his right and rotates his head to his left, he has right sided Torticollis. On right sided Torticollis the right side of his neck is stiff and tight. If he has left sided Torticollis than the left side of his neck is stiff and tight.
I cannot speak to your baby. But I have perform these exercises very gently when a baby is asleep please consult with a local physical therapist to determine the right care for your child.
My two year old has congenital torticollis and even though we did PT when he was 10 months his tilt still persists. The physical therapist recommended the TOT collar. What do you think about the TOT collar? Is there something else that I can do to help him. He fights so much the stretching exercises.
I would not overrule a therapist who has personally evaluated your son. If he does not tolerate passive stretches then you might be luckier wit hthe active stretches. Maybe she can show you some
According to my Licensure, I am unable to provide treatment recommendations for a child who I have not personally evaluated in person. I cannot treat anyone outside of the state of North Carolina, much less out of the country. I’m sorry. I am unable to assist you further.
my 3-month-old son when he sleeps holds his head to the right. when he's awake and I hold him in my arms, he holds his head to the left. when he's lying down, he moves his head from both sides. but I'm very worried about his eyes. which side should I massage?
I am not sure what you mean by seeing right side. If the child has Torticollis and if their head is constantly turned to their right and tilted toward their left they have left sided Torticollis
I cannot speak to your baby in particular. But in this video I performed this activity when the child was asleep. It was OK for him. Remember this is a very gentle stretch.
@@pediatricPTexercises Thanks for reply, Actually , he is three months old, and now he cries when I performed the exercise. So I mean to say if that exercise would have been useful in sleeping position.
@@pediatricPTexercises my baby was 2 months old when I knew that he had torticollis. Then I had started to perform the exercise . Now he can move his neck all arround but he put his neck in one side when he is asleep.
I don’t know of any research comparing the effectiveness of stretches when a child is asleep or awake. However, I think it is effective when the child is asleep as well.

Thank you for the helpful video! Is it possible for a child to have torticollis change sides? We have had left side torticollis treatment (looking right) and now tummy sleeping only looking left (right side of head to mattress). Thank you!
hello ! my daughter is almost 6 months old, and she puts her head only to the left side, I asked the pediatrician and she said that it is normal??? help me please .. thank you.
Hi there! My baby tends to have opposite preferences depending if he's on tummy time or on his back. He has major difficulty turning to his left while on tummy time, and struggles turning to his right while on his back. It's the oddest thing considering he's stretching both sides essentially. We can't seem to have him turn both ways during each session, any feedback?
@@pediatricPTexercises Hi,my baby is 5 almost 6months he is not sitting yet but tries with support my major concern is his kneck he,s always bending forward looking down with occasional look up..what should I do?😢thank you
@@liefwangeci2525 A babies head control should be quite good at five months of age. Here is my head control playlist. I strongly recommend you find a local Pediatric Physical Therapist who can assist you ruclips.net/p/PLAkJbMrHyKjNf7b1x0fPKdDimNNG2zfPj
hello, my daughter is 11 months old, her neck is turned to the right and there is a lump, can it still be fixed? Can infrared light soften the lump? Thank you ☺️🙏
Torticollis is much easier to resolve when caught as early as possible. You will have to work much harder to address her torticollis at 11 months of age. Additionally if she has a mass in her sternocleidomastoid muscle then recovery is much trickier. I recommend you find a good local pediatric physical therapist who can help you. I cannot speak to infrared light therapy.
Your videos are very helpful. Thank you for helping me study for the board exam!
I LOVE hearing that!!!

That is an unusual presentation. I would defer to your local PT who can assess your child properly
Were you able to resolve your baby’s issue ?
Many thanks for the helpful video. My baby has right side torticollis, should I do the rotation and stretch for both sides or only one side?
I can’t answer your question specific to a single child. However, I can say that if I muscle is not tight that I do not tend to stretch it.

A child who turns his head to his left and tilts his head to his right, has right sided Torticollis
Thank you for the video..I want to ask my 6 months old baby head tilts towards left so I am supposed to do stretches on opposite side?
If your child tilts her his head to the left then he likely has left sided Torticollis. Here is the playlist for you.
ruclips.net/p/PLAkJbMrHyKjO0FE5vu_nuV6QlEM-u3I1G
When I stand up my baby facing me his head is tilit to the left does that mean he has left Torticollis ?
It sounds like you’re saying that your baby is tilting his head to his right. If that is the case then he has right sided Torticollis
Best video
Thankyou so much for this video my baby 5 months old right side tortoise 😊
So glad this video series is helping you
Pleas, how much time needs torticolis to treat.
?????
I’m sorry. Are you asking how long you should work with a child on a given day? Or, are you asking how many months does it take to treat a child with Torticollis?

My baby is 4 months old. He is having right side torticollis.Can i perform this stretch while the baby is sleeping. Or when he is awake
I cannot speak to your baby. But I have perform these exercises very gently when a baby is asleep please consult with a local physical therapist to determine the right care for your child.
Thanks for the shared video, 😊
I'll try to do that to my 2 and a half months baby... 😊
I hope it helps!

Is there anyway we could have a consultation online? In my country there is not much experience and my baby has a strange torticollis non muscular

Sounds like you have an unusual case that a local therapist needs to assess
If the baby is seeing right side is it is right side troticollis or left side troticollis?
I am not sure what you mean by seeing right side. If the child has Torticollis and if their head is constantly turned to their right and tilted toward their left they have left sided Torticollis
Hello, my baby has a left torticollis. May I give that exercise to my baby when he is sleeping.
