Be about it
Does anyone have experience with this? My 3-month old was diagnosed around 6 weeks of age and has been in physical therapy since about 7 weeks. She started out going 2x/week, then down to 1x, now every 2 weeks. We do the exercises with her at home as well. I'd seen continuing improvement until her last check-up, when the therapist and I both agreed that she hadn't progressed any. No regression, which is good, but she hadn't improved any either. I'm getting really worried. We go again next Wednesday and if she still hasn't progressed (and in my opinion she hasn't) they're sending us to the big ortho. doctor. I'm frightened to death that she'll need surgery. :sad:
For those of you who don't know what it's all about, here's a good link that gives a basic, easy to understand explanation. Torticollis
Basically, she only looks to the right and leans to the left. We are working to help her lean to the right and look to the left. I can get her to lean right pretty well, but the turning left is going badly. She HATES to be worked on, and the PT basically said it's useless if she starts to wail b/c then her neck muscles tighten up and spasm which doesn't help matters. So, I work with her a lot when she's sleeping.
