Torticollis

If your baby always looks one way — there’s a reason. And with early physio, it’s very treatable.

What is it?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur. Massa nisl sit at est nibh.

Torticollis is tightness or weakness in a baby’s neck muscles that causes a head tilt or rotation preference. It’s common and responds well to early physiotherapy.

How we treat it at Alaga

• Neck range-of-motion and strength assessment
• Gentle stretching and positioning (never forceful)
• Play-based exercises to encourage symmetry
• Feeding, sleeping, and carrying modifications
• Monitor head shape (torticollis often links with plagiocephaly)
