Guest guest Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Hi , The OT said that we will not get a full stretch if the band is on. Also she said it could put too much pressure on one spot and she just got it on so her skin is not quite used to it yet. I wish I could accomplish the same stretches with it on because we do so much passive stretching throughout the day, I can't imagine taking it off everytime! > > > > Hello, > > > > My daughter just got her Starband today and she also has > torticollis. > > For those of you with children who have bands and tort, do you > remove > > the band when doing the stretching exercises at home?
