Only your PT can tell you exactly what you should be doing. I am just saying that it sounds like your daughter is presenting atypical. That is what my son was. We did the rotation stretch, turning chin to left shoulder. And we did the sidebend stretch, left ear to left shoulder. This is not the case for most tort babies. It is called an atypical presentation. Alot of people have not even heard of it. Most are just Left or Right Tort. Yes, totally confussing, but very important to figure out. Ask your PT if your Abra is atypical presentation. If she is a good PT, she should at least know what atypical presentation is. I am curious what she says. My son had difficulty turning his chin to look over his left shoulder and also had a right head tilt (chin pointed to left shouler, head tilted slightly right). > > > Donna, mom to , 10 months old > Did the Dr diagnose left or right torticollis?
