As gross motor skills develop (like crawling and walking), baby’s torticollis may become less pronounced. Here’s a video of an exercise that we learned from our daughter’s physical therapist. This exercise encourages baby to pull to stand, which is a precursor to more advanced skills like independent standing and walking You should only do physical therapy exercises that are recommended for your child by his/her physical therapist. Torticollis can present differently in each child and physical therapy exercises are often specifically catered to the type and severity of torticollis, as well as to the age and abilities of your child. Please do not do any of these exercises on your baby without first seeking explicit approval from your child’s physical therapist. Improper use of physical therapy exercises could result in injury.
