Will this baby grow out of that head tilt? Some do and some don’t.

He started PT when he was 4 months old and was done by the time he was 10 months old.

When you start at 4 months old you get stretching and tummy time with a baby who snuggles while you stretch. When you start at 8 months old you end up with a baby who crawls and rolls and who can’t be tricked into stretching. (Raise your hand if you’ve attempted to change the diaper of an 8 month old baby.)

Are you seeing a head tilt that shows up the same in every picture you take? A baby who loves to look in only 1 direction? A baby who feeds really well on one side but struggles on the other?

What can you do? After a diaper change, before you pick your baby up, take a picture. Do the same thing for 3 more days. If your baby’s head is turned or tilted the same in each picture, jump on that now.

You can either:
1. Mention it to your pediatrician and ask them to fax a PT referral to High Pointe Therapy at 931-920-4346.
2. Call or DM us. In Tennessee, you can see a PT without a referral, but some insurance plans require a referral, so call us first at 931-920-4333 and we'll check yours.
