Holding head back

Hi all
My DD is almost 6 months. After she was born I was convinced that she had a problem with her neck as she would only willingly look one way! HV and Dr dismissed it but after a visit to an Osteo at 3 months the problem disappeared. She has never had a floppy neck so I'm not sure if this is normal but she doesn't (and have never) hung her right head back; she will look up if there is something interesting but sometimes I think she prefers to hold her head/ gaze seems slightly downwards. She also hunches her shoulders slightly sometimes.

For reasons above I don't think the Dr or HV will be of any use but I wanted to see if its normal before going back to the Osteo.
