Re: velcro strap on flat side?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Yes, the opening should be on the flat side. Tim Littlefield from

Cranial Tech said this is why:

The side-opening band was designed specifically to treat children

with a significant amount of asymmetry and allows the corrective

forces to be applied diagonally across the cranium (i.e. from right

forehead to left occiput).

I'm assuming your baby is in a DOCband, all of us parents whose

babies are in DOCbands have the opening on the flat side.

I hope this helps.

What band do you have? DOCband velcro is almost always on the flat side - it

would be a rare instance that it would not be on the flat side.
