Guest guest Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Hello all: I just found you all today and am so thankful you are here! My son is 4 months old and has torticollis as well as plagio. We have been going to physical therapy for just over a month, and the torticollis is really improving, but I am concerned about his head shape. Last week, our pediatrician said that he thought his head would round out on its own as we continue the PT and he spends more time up off his head. However, he has somewhat of a bulge behind his ear on the non-flattened side, and his ears don't exactly line up. If we were just dealing with flatness, then I'd be more optimistic, but I'm not sure the bulging area will be remedied simply by time and repositioning strategies. Since he's 4 months old already, I don't want to wait too long before we intervene if it's necessary. Do any of you have experience with the bulging area resolving itself, or will that nearly always require band/helmet intervention? Thanks so much, Kelli & Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
