Re: Any British members out there?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Welcome to the group! We do have group members who have gotten or

are currently receiving helmet therapy in England, so I hope they

will see your post and respond. We have two locations listed in the

Helmet/Band Database for England, so if you are interested, helmet

treatment is available there. Here is the information regarding

them:

England

Local

King's College Hospital,

Denmark Hill, London SE5 9RS

Mr Bentley, Dr Blecher

0207 346 1753 (Sharon Davies, Mr Bentleys)

www.kingsch.nhs.uk

www.cranio-online.de

group member who used this facility, and is available for offlist

contact: ianadele@...

England

Starband*

Medistox Ltd, 4 Dyneley Road,

Blackburn, Lancashire

Steve Mottram

01254 267400

steve.mottram@...

medistox.net

www.orthomerica.com

If Ian, the group member who used the first facility, doesn't

respond to your post, please email him at the email address he

provided. I know he has been very helpful to others in his area who

have questions. Dr. Blecher, who has the helmet clinic in England,

also has a clinic in Germany, where several group members have

gotten helmet treatment for their babies as well. Another member,

who I haven't read a post from lately, is in Switzerland, and Dr.

Blecher travels there to facilitate treatment for her baby...

perhaps some of these members will post as to their experience with

Dr. Blecher and his type of helmet!

So far, we haven't had any group members use the second facility,

Medistox, yet. I recall that Ian posted that he had spoken with the

gentleman at Medistox, and they had 6 months or so of experience

banding babies (this was some time ago.)

Would you tell us a little bit about your son? How old is he? What

kind of severity would you say he has?

I hope this information will be helpful to you. There is also a lot

of information at this site, if you would like to browse around the

photos, files, database, polls, and links sections!

Take care,

Christie (Mom to Repo'd Remy)

Hi,

I see Christie already provided you with some contact information,

so I just wanted to welcome you to the group. Good luck and please

keep us updated on your son.

Hello, and welcome to the group

Even though I am not in the UK / we have used Dr. Blecher as his

main clinic is in Germany / Giessen. You can see pictures of my

daughter Willow in the plagio kids and in the before and after local

helmets (photo section)

You can contact him via his website. has already posted

this in her reply to you. His email in on it as well and from

personal experience / he will reply within 24 to 48hrs. You might

want to send him pictures of your son's head top down and side

pictures so he might see the severety of the plagio.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Hi Sandy

Thanks for the kind message - just looked at Willow's pictures - what

a difference - you must be so pleased.

All the best
