- Physical Therapy for Torticollis! Infants who develop this should be seen by their pediatrician to be evaluated and sent to a specialist. I am not a Physical Therapist or DR. This is just what we were taught by our specialist to help Dawson move past this. We started treatments at 3 months and he is nearly five months old now. We noticed his torticollis on our own and immediately took him in to see his dr. I had not had this issue with any of our other babies. But tune in to see Dawson endure his treatments.

Thank you so much for posting this. I suspected something was wrong with my now 7wk old because he would not turn his head to the left abs would cry whenever his head was positioned on that side. I brought it up to the pediatrician at his last visit and she analyzed him and mentioned torticollis. She prescribed PT however he hasn’t began it yet and I’ve been combing the internet yo understand this condition better. Your video gave me relief in terms of what he will be put through; knowing it’s not major physical strain. Btw, Dawson is super majorly cute😍😍
YAY DAWSON!!!! Great job!! Thanks for sharing this, Lauren! 🙌🏽💙👍🏽👶🏻
Of course!!! Thank you girl!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
So informative, and also, I can't handle how CUTE Dawson is - those big blue eyes, squishy cheeks and baby rolls!!!!
Thanks girl!!!!! He’s so chill so it makes it easy to share!!!
My baby was still tilting her head at the age 3 months, but her head was straight on her own at 4 months. I never heard of this torticollis thing until TH-cam recommends me about it. I thought it was a common thing if a baby tilting his/her head at that age (0-3 months). Btw, your baby is so calm compared to mine at the same age. My baby girl is so active and can't be quiet. I even mistaken her as a boy when I was pregnant because of how active she was in my womb.
Yeaaaaaa!! Dawson is awesome!
Haha awww thanks boo!!!
Super cute baby OMG!
My son is 4 weeks and yes he only tilts his head to his left thanks
Awe I remember doing these with my daughter Hannah. She went to therapy for a year for hers and she was diagnosed around the same time period!
😘😘😘😘
Do you recommend therapy for sure or can you do these on your own with your baby?
Our son has his 2 month appointment this week and we’re expecting this diagnosis. We’re worried about not being able to go to the specialist because of Covid-19 but we’re hoping our general pediatrician can help!
Thanks for such a simple video! Our 2 month old boy was diagnosed with Torticollis and the physical therapists or the Doctors do not have any availability anytime soon. This video helps me do simple things at home which may actually work!
Yes! I hope it helps! Everything our PT did with Dawson was so simple so it really made therapy easy for us with him. Just consistency was key!
Yay Dawson!!...I love your shirt that's me to a tee..I'm always late!
Hahaha yesss it’s one of my favorites! But I can’t wear it when I fly. It brings me back luck 😂😂😂
Thanks mom I'm doing it to my son! I subscribed 🤚🥰
Good luck sweet mama!!!!
What r views on plagiocephaly, do I need to fo for helmets or craniosacral. Therapy
Your video is great and straight forward but would you kindly answer a couple of questions. My baby favors the right so would I hold him on my right arm? For the exercise where he’s facing down ? Also for the pillow exercise since he favors the right would I lay him on his right or left side? Thank you in advance.
Today i started doing, thanks for sharing
So welcome!!!!
My baby is 3 m and favors one side. She is breastfed I don’t have trouble feeding on both side and she turns to both sides so does she technically have it
Omg thank you for posting this! My 2 week old baby girl has torticollis. The doctors noticed it at birth, possibly from her position in the womb or from being stuck during birth. We have a PT appointment next week but this is SO helpful to see what we might expect!!
Ohh I’m so glad they caught it immediately!! That is such a huge blessing and she will do great!!! The PT was so simple and really helped Dawson!!! Keep me posted on how yours goes!
Thank you, I will!
How is she now
How is she now ???
Hi good day!
I am a new mom and I always wonder what is going on to my infant... I don't know if i can really rely on to google 100% because i think, no not think, I do need a help ... My infant is a 2 months old, moat of the time she follow my voice, my face, our family faces, colors and many more. But there are times that she's not, do i have to worry about that?? Plssss help, thank you
Once it’s better is the diagnoses eliminated?
Thanks 😊 a lot ; after doing this my baby started looking at other side within 3 hrs i am so happy and relaxed 😎
Whats he look now please ?
@@diva9765 completely normal
Moving all the sides perfectly
Try this with gentle hand 🤚🏽 you will see the difference
@@infopills really ,thanks god, can you explain to me what you do exactly
@@diva9765 i had followed instructions of this video
So how can I help my 4 months boy
Hi Lauren! We've found out that our son has torticollis from the left side. Can make a video with showing us the exact exercises? It will be really helpful!
Ok! Of course yes !
Good
My baby has it too. She was a few days shy of being four months old when we noticed it. She has an appointment with a PT but I’ve been going on TH-cam checking out helpful videos like yours and doing some of the exercises while we wait. I hope it goes away. Your baby’s head shape is PERFECT ❤️
Hope treatments are going well for you guys!
Is it normal for the tilt to remain but baby is able to turn fully to right and left?
How are treatments going for you baby? My son is almost 4 months and has been diagnosed
@@marisolarroyo3706 sorry for the late response. I think it’s normal. My baby was able to turn her head without any problem. Her tilt went away after a month I wanna say. We did the exercises almost everyday
@@shay34475 my baby was seen by a PT twice. Her tilt went away after a month I wanna say. She’ll be a year old on 9/11. She’s perfectly fine, she’s all over the place lol. I think the reason why she had a tilt was because I would only breastfeed her with my right breast, she was picky.
Hi! My baby is leaning towards her right so that means having her looks her right? I have to wait on a call from a physical therapist but they are taking forever to call me.
So you would go the opposite way of what she is currently leaning towards 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hi dear..
My baby is six mounts old
She has this problem
Iam in afghanistan ...
Can some one help me?
Thank you for this video,
Dawson is so sweet.
Please can you advise how long did he do the PT untill you started seeing results visible ?
So from start to finish we were about 10 weeks if I remember correctly??????
My baby has the same issue. She was tight on right side (tended to always look to the left) and has a tilt on right side. When holding the baby to loosen the right side shouldn't she be held on the right arm to stretch that right neck muscle? I noticed you had him on the left arm
My baby was tight on the left side. His PT instructed us to hold him on our left arm to help him naturally tip and loosen so he could turn right ❤️ putting him in a position to stretch him from the direction he was stuck in. If you put him on your right arm it would be stretching him towards the side he was already having issues with.
My son is 2 months old an I notice he's looking mostly to the left
My daughter is the same only to the left HELP.
Hi my babys head is flat all the way around in the back how can I get his head back round and also he is having trouble turning his head to one side can you give me some advice
Watch in the yt mmommy,
Are these exercises efficient for a one year toddler with slightly tilt on the left side?
I think it all depends on the severity and the entire diagnosis. But it never hurts to consult a specialist and to see what their recommendations are for treatment.
Hi my baby develop this after meningitis shes 1 yrs and 6 months any lessons will help
Blessings to you and your sweet babe!
Thanks for sharing.. so is the massage gonna be the opposite side of the direction of where the baby likes to turn? Or the side the baby turns all the time? TIA!!
It’s away from where their head turns. So if baby is going left always you will stretch to the right carefully and under the direction of your dr ❤️❤️❤️
Hello i noticed my 6 month old always tilted on the right, but he can both turn his head both sideways, i can only notice when looking straight his face is more on right tilted
هل يمكن اخباري كيف ابنك الان
Is there anyway you could make a video for a 1year old for an active toddler
I wish I could!! These were all very specific for my baby when he was little and I am not a PT so I can’t make one for an older toddler. I don’t have the experience to do it
My 3 month old turns to both sides, but when just sitting in swing it stroller, he lays his heads always to the right shoulder. Is this still torticollis?
Exactly what I’m looking to know my daughter is this same age and does the exact same thing
How long did it take for you to finish PT?
8 weeks!
My baby just 3m old has the exact same problem. He got diagnosed and started physical therapy 4 weeks ago. I’m doing the exercises given everyday as much as I can. He hates the tummy time one but this video is super helpful. May I ask even tho it’s different with all babies. How long did it take your baby to fully recover??
I think it was over about 8 weeks. He went every other week to see the specialist
Hello one question. I just started taking my 2 month old baby to therapy. She was diagnose with tortícolis on her left side. Can I do the same exercises you doing in the video with your baby. ?
I would talk to your PT but all of these were given to us from our specialist to help with our baby.
How long did it take you for him not to tilt his head ?
Can you please share what kind of massages ( if any ) you did to help ? My daughter PT is canceled due to this Coronavirus 😩
Our PT said that holding them across your arms and standing with them is the best thing you could do. Because you’ll do that for longer than a sit on the floor stretch.
My daughter is 2 months old. We just found out she has torticollics. How long was the treatment for him?
I’ll have to check but I think we went about 6 weeks??? Maybe a bit longer
Same here for my son ..how long did it take ?
@reem my daughter is 10 months old now. She went to physical therapy and we did at home Exercises. She went until she was around 5 months old. Doing lots of tummy time is her doctor told us to do along with the exercises
@@kourtneyg7787 is your baby cured now?
I'm almost certain this is what my grandson has, he only looks to his left. Daughter took him to the Dr but nothing really came of it, worried that if he's not properly seen he will have more problems. He has just turned 3 months aswell
I’d look for a second opinion. It can really lead to issues as he grows. Or go straight to a physical therapist
@@LaurenStewart thanks, I'll suggest him going to a physical therapist as the drs are doing nothing just saying to massage his neck
May I ask how long did you get him to do the exercise before fully recover? My daughter was 4 months when I started the exercise and she is still tilted at 5 months.
So we stayed really early with him. But he was cleared and done before he was six months old. His started really light when he was new? So it wasn’t a huge correction that needed to be done. Have you seen a specialist?
@annie dong
How's your baby now is he fine..
My baby also have torticollis.. I find it when he is 4month.. right now he is 5.5month old
@@abishisaleem5811 my daughter now is 8 months old. I kept with the exercise till about 7 months I think and she is fine now. I was told that the only time I can see her tilting back again is when she start standing. For her I notice once she mastered sitting she is fine.
@@LaurenStewart we just kept with the physio session at the hospital and now they are happy with her results 🙏❤️
Hello, my baby was born with torticollis too! He was diagnosed when he was 2weeks old and I have been doing the exercises until now that he's 2 months probably 20mins neck exercises for him a day. I hop he will be cured ;(
Hello po . Kamusta na po baby nyo? Okay na po ba? Si baby ko po kasi parang may torticollis. May bukol pa po yung leeg nya sa baba ng kanyang tainga. Hays.
@@Anjelikah7 hello sis wala ng torticollis si baby ko now. 8 months na sya now, makakatulong yung mga vids sa youtube kung pano mawala ang torticollis
@@Anjelikah7 hi, kumusta po baby nyo ngayon? Nagka ganyan dn baby ko ngayon turning 3months may bukol dn,ano po ginawa nyo?subrang worried na po ako.pls pakisagot🙏
How old is Dawson when this video was made?
About five months!
How long did you go for PT until Dawson fully recovered?
Hi there! I’d need to go back and look. But it was not longer than 12 weeks.
Tq for the response. And how long for each session? Mine lasted for 20-30 minutes or so.
That’s the same for Dawson. Our PT always said the work we do in our home will make the biggest difference. He was just guiding us
Please answer me Do these exercises give a result for my one-year-old son?
I am not a dr and i don’t know your sons diagnosis. This video is just to share what we learned going to PT for our infant and all the things we learned. But they helped and my son was 100% cured
@@LaurenStewart thank you for answer me ❤️😍❤️😍I will take him to pt ...did you take your son to the pt every day?
Once a week then we did these exercises every day
so i was diagnosed with this earlier by my doctor this week. and uh- im too scared for therapy. IM ALSO 13 LIKE W-
I had it till I was two... from what my mom says I cried the first few times at therapy and then got used to it. I still have neck pains tho and will for the rest of my life. How was therapy? I’m also 13😂😂 Also HOW DID THEY NOT KNOW UNTILL YOU WERE 13
Also my older brothers were like 8 and 7 when I was born and they cried when they first saw me because they were embarrassed of what I looked like 🙃😂
At how many months did you start doing the exercises
He was about 10-12 weeks? I can’t 100% remember now just because it’s been 3 and a half years. Hope that helps
Omg thanks that helped a lot
My son just got diagnosed today, how often did you go to physical therapy? Several times a week? And how severe was it? My son tilts to the right and has a flat spot on his right side. I’m just trying to figure all of this out!
So we did it once a week? Because it was SO early in the diagnosis he only had the tilt and no flat spot? But we did it for 6 weeks I think? And you could never tell now at 2.5 years old
Helloo Anna how old your son is?
How old he is in this video? My daughter has torticollis and she is 3 months old now can you please help me
Hi!! So he was about 9 weeks old when we started to notice it!
Why are you lifting her up by pulling her arms? :(
You’re not a fiziotherapist you shouldn’t be makinga video like this
It’s actually a very specific movement that his personal physical therapist recommended to help him use his neck and grow his muscles. Every single move we did for weeks and weeks under their direction, and I very clearly stated I am not a licensed PT. ❤️ however I am a mother that had to do so many things recommended by the PT to help him. And now at the age of four he has zero signs of it.

The horrific barbaric crap they did to kids back 50+ years ago who developed this you don’t even want to know! My little brother went through it. They put a 20 pound cast on him around his waist over his shoulders it look like a Frankenstein head with one little opening that he could just look out of to force him to look out the other way well he cried and cried for two days my mom finally told my dad take it off and they ended up doing surgery and cutting a muscle no therapy no physical therapy at all!
