Guest guest Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Hi, Physical Therapy is a good idea. My daughter had tort and was in PT for 3 months, 3 times a week. I stretched her A LOT through out the day and during diaper changes. At 3.5 her tort is still resolved as it's been since she was discharged from PT. > > We are taking Trent to Cranial Tech Atlanta next Tuesday to get his > band.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Hello , My son went to Cranial Tech in Atlanta as well. While CT encourages stretching you might want to ask your pediatrician about ordering regular physical therapy for Trent. It will help his tort so much more.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Hello How old is Trent now? I agree with , and Natasha. PT is your best bet. My daughter Willow was in PT for about 8months, and I did home streches throughout the day. She also had Occupational therapy in addition to the pt. Maybe you can show someone you trust at your daycare to do a strech here and there with diaper changes. It's really important that you do this throughout the day when they are active.
