I'm wondering if anyone knows what the treatment is like for torticollis, particularly for an active 7 month old!
My son has been having cranial osteopathy since birth due to lumps bumps etc and I think that has really helped (fab treatment) but the torticollis is back now that he is sitting more & more and the gp has referred him to a paediatric physio.
I'm in the uk so it'll be nhs and I've heard you get 6 sessions, although that may be wrong. Any ideas if that will be enough or if I should go private? I'd also be interested to hear if anyone used a neck brace for treatment and whether its a good/bad thing. I'm worried ill struggle with any exercises as he's super active and with a mind of his own.
Any tips on what to ask them to check with regards to underlying causes would be great- or just any tips fullstop.
It would be great to hear positive stories to keep my morale up too.
Thanks
