Re: Advice

[Guest guest]

Hello- my name is tricia and I am just finding these websites/discussion boards

that talk

about helmets, torticollis, etc... HOW HELPFUL!!! I live inthe West Chester OH

area. I just

recently ( a month ago) went up to cleveland to have my son evaluated by karen

and I am

totally overwhelmed!!! She said that he is 10 mm off? dont know what that means?

I dont

think he looks " that bad " but I dont know! she said she starts to reccomend the

docband

at 10 mm. He actually has a very round head.. not really a flat spot but he is

asymetrical

slightly. I dont notice it really unless I look in the mirror. I dont know if I

should do it or

not. it is a looong drive! But I know that people do the drive! So I was reading

that there

are places that are closer that do the same thing? I am wondering what the

difference is???

I would appreaciate feedback from ANYONE?!?!
