Thanks , great idea! We'll do that, too. I guess it's better than nothing. Maybe his PT will have more ideas when we see her on Tuesday. Do you take the helmet off to do the stretches?

Re: Torticollis with helmet

Hi Kim, we have the same problem. My 1 year old son has been wearing a

helmet for 5 weeks now and we cannot put both the helmet and the TOT

collar on at the same time. Sometimes we put the TOT collar on while

his helmet is off (while we're waiting for his hair to dry or his

helmet to be cleaned), but there's no good way around it. Hopefully he

won't need the helmet for too long and we'll start using the TOT

collar when the helmet comes off!

Re: Torticollis with helmet

Our PT is doing therapuetic taping called kinsio on Zach soon for his

Tort....All the mom's I've talked to that have had it done say it's

worked wonders. Just an idea to check in to.
