Kim - We got our STAR Band right before turning one. Seen some good results but never will see 100% but hoping for more.

Interested in hearing about your experience with craniosacral. We were going twice a week in August for 1/2 hour and then weekly and now every two weeks.

We saw some improvements but again, nothing from stopping me from getting our second band the end of November. Anyway, do you do any craniosacral yourself? Have you like the results?

I guess I'm surprise that the cranial facial people made you wait this long.

The younger the better but don't worry, you'll get correction but may be slower.

You must also be dealing with torticollis? Are you seeing a pt person? Is it resolved? I actually think the craniosacral therapy helped the tort and tightness more than the plagio.

Anyway, welcome aboard and look forward to your responses!

Kim,

It is not too late! My son, Josh, didn't get his

DOC Band until he was 19 months old. As of today we

have about 60-70% correction!!! Yeah, I am thrilled!

I would have been happy 50%. He will be in it for

about another 4 weeks, then he graduates! Hope this

helps a little!

wow, Jill.. that much correction??? boy the doctors, etc. sure seemed

glum about any improvement andy might have and said more like 6 months

in the band. will that make 3 months for you? why not go longer? do

they expect close to 100 percent correction in the next 4 weeks? I owe

you a huge thanks for setting an example for me. diane
