dd had torticollis as a baby - pretty mild. We got refered to NHS physio, which she didn't respond to fantastically - after 2 weeks started tilting her neck the other way - and since then tilt comes and goes, to different sides)
So, last physio appt (which I pushed for, rang physio becuase still concerned) physio said dd is fine - yes, still tilts her head, but no physiological reason, is 'just habit'...
Last few days she's been tilting REALLY badly again - all the time - c/m said she's never seen her do it so badly
What to do? Ring physio (who prob already thinks I am mad woman, and who I have lost faith it); private physio? Cranial Oestopath?? Any thoughts gratefully received...

How old is she, funny?

I would suggest a cranial osteopath. Do your research ... I'm sure they're all good but some are brilliant - it will cost you about £25 for a session.

Good luck.

She's 13 mths.
I've used a co before (on recommendation) and tbh, wasn't hugely impressed with her...

Yes, I've heard mixed reports. I think it very much depends on the CO. But if you get a good one, perhaps one with a more holistic approach, then you might have more success.

OK, thanks - there's a new lady who's started locally, so maybe I'll give her a ring tomorrow!

I know this was a long time ago but what happened with your baby's tilt? I have a 13 month old with pretty much the same story!

I don't think OP has used @funnypeculiar as her username since 3008 or so.
You'll have a lot more help if you make your own post, and the info may be more up-to-date, as well.

I hope you find treatment for your dd's neck very soon. ♥️
