Re: Helmet therapy starting next week with Hanger Orthotics - Seattle

[Guest guest]

Hello. We used Hanger, but we live in PA. So, I can't give you any

specific info about your local Hanger. Though, I wanted to say that

whever you go and whatever type of band you end up using.... the real

key to good results is a very good and experienced Orthotist. You want

to make sure that the Orthotist is very knowledgeable and experienced

with plagio and cranial bands. Check references, if possible, and ask

the Ortho how long they have been doing cranial bands and how often

they do them.

It can be a little rough and stressful in the beginning as you and your

baby adjust.... but most babies adjust very well to their band and you

will be so happy you did it for him!

Good luck with everything and keep us updated.
