- Torticollis is a condition in which a baby's head is "twisted" or turned to the side and tilted to the opposite side. Here the babies have their head tilted to the left and rotated to the right. It can also happen in adults but this playlist is dedicated to the treatment of torticollis in babies. I would like to thank Bode's family who allowed me to come into their home for 6 hours at a time to film him starting when he was 1 month old. ...And then to return and do it again. Wow! Bode does not have torticollis. Bode was quite tolerant of being turned and stretched this way and that. I hope you find these videos useful. If you believe your baby has torticollis, consult your doctor and a pediatric physical therapist with experience treating a child with torticollis for a program specifically designed to address your specific child's recommendations. Do not delay. Earlier treatment is predictive of better outcomes and shorter treatment.
Here are the clinical guidelines for treatment of congenital Muscular Torticollis:

So sweet...he is enjoying his sleep as you play with his head...:)
Sometimes it works out🤗
My baby is 3 weeks ! Ive been doing stretches for a week so far and will continue to do so. I hope this gets better. 😊
Oh you caught this early. I am so glad you found this playlist
Hey - Is this applicable for a 7 months baby as well, please? If you have any other suggestions, can you share those as well, please?😊
A 7 month old is likely to be less cooperative. You will need to consult with a local therapist to determine what is best for your child
Hi my 2 month old son is always looking up and possible have a right torticolis . Please advised me of what I can do
I advise you to find a local Pediatric Physical Therapist who can create a treatment plan to address your child’s issues. In the meantime, this playlist may be of some assistance to you.
Do you recommend the use of a TOT collar?
I personally don’t use them but know others that have
I’ve been doing this for my daughter since December, it’s gotten better but is back and now she’s almost one and I don’t know how to help her. She doesn’t want to sit still enough for me to do stretches for her now 😅 what do I do?
It does get a lot harder as they get older doesn’t it. Your question is beyond the scope of the playlist thus far. I recommend you consult with a local Pediatric physical therapist who can help you. Here is a link to the rest of this playlist.

Hey friend, you need intervention asap as from the reading I've done it extremely difficult to make much improvement at all by the time they get to teens without intensive longer term interventions and the kid/adult has to be a active willing participant who is being self aware and actively trying to constantly correct it all the time... this seems to get more and more true pretty quickly even in kids so early intervention is your best bet for the fastest resolution. Get a referral from your doctor for physical therapy and/or occupational therapy and advocate for your child endlessly to the point of being annoying. My sister dropped my nephew with me as a infant and I've been his primary Caregiver since then and he was showing signs of being different as a baby. All the doctors were constantly telling me "some kids are just late bloomers" or "well he's meeting most of his milestones technically on time just the late end of normal" (nevermind that I tell them 100 Times that I had to work with him constantly to meet these milestones that come naturally to most children), or "let's wait and see. We don't like to be alarmist about this it's most likely nothing to worry about"... fast forward a few years and endless battles to get him into a child psychologists for a formal evaluation and diagnosis (maine has few specialists for children and it's a triage sort of situation where the most severe kids jump the line) and he get diagnosed with autism. Fast forward another few years of almost no services, support, or even education on what to do to help him succeed and he starts school. School means access to specialists and people trained to help such kids. They were astonished at how well he was doing. With his diagnosis and original evaluation they assumed he would be a challenge (although not as difficult as so many who have more prominent autism and extreme learning disabilities too). They ask many times if I had paid for private care or treatment like aba, but I just couldn't afford such things. I told them the truth I spent years reading everything I could find on ways to work with David and help him. I joined Facebook groups of parents of and adults with autism and talked to all of them about what worked for them and sometimes shared what worked for me. I had many a sleepless night and everyday as a toddler was a battle but we did it anyway. David is a amazing kid and all the studies show the same thing, early diagnosis and intervention means a HUGE difference in the long-term outcome of kids. This applies almost universally yet we still have so many medical professionals that are "wait and see" then when it's a total disaster is finally when you get some intervention. No! Advocate for your baby, tell the doctor what is going to happen don't ask or wait for them to suggest something. Read up on the issue and the treatment and do as much at home as possible as often as possible. Don't stop advocating for your baby until you get the best outcome possible for them.
Good luck friend and to all the other people who might have needed to hear this.
How many seconds you hold each rotation? I've gone to chiropractor its torticollis is due to knots on the spinal side by the neck that needs loosen up
The research has not indicated how long is the most effective stretch but more frequent is better
My baby has left torticollis but it's just detected now that he is 3months, hope is not too late to start the exercises
You have plenty of time😊
Is it ok to do the exercise when the baby is sleeping? Does a sleeping baby have any impacts on its muscle being relaxed and the exercise effectiveness?
Some families tell me it is easier to perform the stretches when their baby is asleep and some tell me it simply wakes up their baby. I don’t believe there is any research on the answer to your question about the stretch effectiveness relative to whether the baby is awake or asleep. I do know that there is no research in general on which stretch is the best stretch for Torticollis.
@@pediatricPTexercises My son who is only 5weeks old was diagnosed with SCM tumor on his left side. We are regularly doing stretching's exercises every 4hours or so. We do most of the exercise while he is asleep.
So good you have addressed it so early
I am a nanny and this little angel I'm baby sitting i think have left torticolis. She's 5 months now. I have a question, her parents are thinking of getting her the helmet.Is it advisable or therapy for now is ok? I love your channel. Keep it up
They should go to a place that specializes in helmets and have them assess her to determine whether a helmet is needed at this point or not.
Hello I'm from India my baby was suffering from this problem I know about this problem when this problem is not issue in her elder age .?

But only when we chamge his position from back he looks right with both eyyes right cornered. I dont know whther its because of his preference or torticolis.please guide to uderstamd
You have an unusual case. I would work on the missing skills. You will need to consult with a local therapist to determine what is best for your child
My baby is 5 months old now. I can say that he has torticollis, is this still applicable for him.
I can’t speak for your specific child but I can say I do this stretch with 5 month old babies with Torticollis
Thank you so much for this video Torticollis Treatment. I'm from Philippines and my 3month's old baby have a left-sided torticollis. I will do this treatment on my son everyday. ❤️
You are so welcome. Here is the rest of the playlist: Torticollis Treatment

Hi, any update on this? Im from ph too
Is it okay to do that therapy while the baby is sleeping? My baby is 5months old. Thank you.
I can’t speak to your baby but I have done gentle stretches with sleeping babies
My baby tilt towards left and also prefers to turn her head always towards left . Is it left torticollis or right torticollis ? Please help me
Torticollis is defined by which way a baby tilts. I stretch away from the tight direction. I recommend you consult with a local therapist who can assist you with the specifics of your child’s case.
Hi
Hello
Hi, My 5 month old has left torticollis. We went to physical therapy and dng this stretches regularly. Is this condition is completely curable? So worried. Please reply.
The earlier you catch it and the more consistent you work with him, the better he will do
@@pediatricPTexercises can you correct me the stretches? 1. Tilting right ear to right shoulder 2. Head turning or rotation to right side.
@@anithaselvakumar1840 With left Torticollis you typically practice the opposite of what they do. This is typically tilt right ear to right shoulder and rotating the chin toward the left shoulder
@@pediatricPTexercises when she is in supine position, she always look in left side. When I am putting her in prone, she looks in right side not left side. Y it is vice versa?
@@anithaselvakumar1840 I cannot speculate about a particular child that I have not personally evaluated. I recommend you find a local pediatric physical therapist who can assess your child and determine the best course of treatment.
Can this streching be done in sleep?
In PT world we often use resting splints at night for stretching. If you have concerns about your child, I recommend you contact a local pediatric physical therapist to assist you.
My 5 month old baby has left torticollis...I started noticing it from 4.5 month. I started home streching exercises but he's getting frustrated and I can't do all this to him that's why I am asking Can I do neck streching exercises while he sleeps...
@@RiyanshRiya-vlogs.shorts I cannot speak to your specific child but I can say some people do
Okay Thank you
@@RiyanshRiya-vlogs.shorts You are welcome
