Re: helmet no ear correction

[Guest guest]

I would get a second opinion on the Tort. In the beginning everyone

told me my daughter had no tort. Then a found a PT that specializes

in Tort and yes indeed she does. It can be seen in her reach, her

slight tilt, how she is able to self correct to midline(putting her

head straight) Where do you live again? See if you can find someone

who has been trained by Karmel Ross.
