???? Torticollis ????

Carson had his 9 month check-up last week and the doctor was concerned about his neck. He always has his neck tilted to the right side. The doctor has always asked me about his neck and I just thought that this was something "normal" and it was just his preference. He commented about it at every visit but this time he wanted to refer us to Occupational Therapy to have his neck looked at. We went to our appointment yesterday his therapist confirmed that he has torticollis, where the muscles in one side of his neck are too tight and need to be stretched out. His therapist wants to see him every week until it is worked out. She taught me some exercises to do with every 2 hours to try to stretch it out. He HATES it with a passion because it is uncomfortable. So think of us every 2 hours as I have to torture Carson to get his head sitting upright. His therapist said he will have trouble crawling unless it gets worked out. Well Carson heres to you and I exercising and having lots of tummy time. I know you hate it but it is good for you and your cute little neck.
