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

What is it?
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)
