Torticollis or Head Turn Preference? 👶🏽
Torticollis is the shortening of the Sternocleidomastoid muscle in your neck which causes the infant to hold their head in a rotated and tilted position.
Whereas a Head Turning Preference is when the child builds a preference to lie with their head turned to one side without tilting.
Both head positions can result in neck muscles tightness causing reduced neck movement and head shape changes.
If you have any concerns regarding your child’s head and neck posture, get in touch through email. We would be happy to assess and provide practical advice.
