Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 We are going to have the same problem with the stretches. Neely screams now when she knows it's coming. She HATES being restricted and always has. Her tort is pretty bad - how long did it take with the stretches before you could really tell a difference? We can get her head straight now and even over to the right some - she leans to the left - but the minute you let go it goes back to tilted. Ho wlong does it take before they can hold their head straight? Did they work with you at CT on her stretches or did you have a PT or both? > > > > > The new soft helmet that you are refering to is the one that > > > they > > > > > gave my daughter to wear.
