Re: helmet no ear correction

[Guest guest]

I just started taking our son to a PT because he was struggling with

rolling in the water (he was taking infant swim lessons). The PT

had a very hard time determining if my son had a tilt or any neck

tightness. She did pick-up on it but said it was very subtle. I

NEVER noticed it and CT always said it was very subtle (3 mos. and

6.5 months and then when he finished at 9.5 months). It looks like

your son tilts a little to his left shoulder...could it be the pics

or does it really tilt to the left? From the side pics, I think his

head looks round but from straight on it looks like it slants down a

little on the top of his head on the left. Does that make sense?

What did CT say his measurements were? It seems his left ear sticks

out a little bit more than the right? I know you've said that the

different places you've gone have given some different

measurements. What are the reasons CT gave for banding? I know for

us the pics (even the ones from CT) didn't show how 'bad' my sons

head looked in person.
