Re: helmet no ear correction

[Guest guest]

Have you seen a Physical Therapist about possible Torticollis? It

looks as if he is both tilting and holding up one shoulder. Even in

the mildest of cases it can cause both the ears and the eyes to

become assymetric. I know that is the case with my daughter. Really I

would encourage you to check that out. If it does come back that way,

I know someone who is dealing with the same issue. Her daughter had

botox in that muscle and it has helped a great deal with the

assymetry.
