Worried about your little one’s head shape? Here’s what to expect at a physio session for flat/uneven head shapes 👶✨
1️⃣ Getting to know your baby
We start with a thorough subjective assessment – asking about pregnancy, birth history, development so far, and when you first noticed the head shape changes.
2️⃣ Head shape measurements
We gently measure your baby’s head to assess the severity of plagiocephaly. This helps guide treatment and track progress over time.
3️⃣ Neck & full body assessment
We assess your baby’s neck movement (to check for tightness such as torticollis), head preference, and complete a full body screen to rule out any associated concerns.
4️⃣ Personalised treatment plan
You’ll receive an individualised exercise and positioning program tailored to your baby – including practical strategies you can easily do at home.
Before you leave, your physio will guide you on how many sessions may be needed and what progress to expect.
If you’re concerned about your child’s head shape or neck movement, book an appointment and let’s support your little one together.
Call us on (03) 9899 4004 to book in an appointment with one of our physiotherapists.
