Re: Posted Connor (PPO) pics in the B & A folder

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I saw Connor's pics. You really can see the improvement from the

top. I also see the facial assymetry. Since he still has a strong

tilt and is young I think asking the dr is a great idea. I would

imagine the continued PT will help, even with the ears. Our ortho at

CT said the stretches were very important for getting the ears to

move. If that muscle is really tight it pulls right under the ear

and can keep them misaligned.

Let us know how the appt goes.

Hello ,

Thanks for sharing the pictures. I think that Connor has received

some really nice correction. Specially his ears. They are soo much

more aligned. I agree with in that torticollis alone can

cause some pretty bad asymmetry, so asking the pt / doc about this

seems to be a good plan. Let us know how it goes.

Oh, and before I forget. When I first looked at his facial shot I

looked right over the asym, and all I saw was a gorgeous joung man!

Thanks again for sharing

What a change! My sons head looks the same from the top view. It is

very encouraging to me to see what the possibilities are after

correction! He is a very cute boy!

Hi ,

I can definitely see great progress from that top view picture! As

far as the facial assymetry, if you are concerned, it definitely

wouldn't hurt to ask. Let us know!
