Torticollis
Advanced Therapy for Torticollis Recovery
We offer specialized physical therapy to address the muscle tightness and restricted motion associated with torticollis. Our approach focuses on identifying the underlying causes of head tilting to develop a personalized recovery plan tailored to your needs.
Understanding Torticollis
Torticollis is characterized by an involuntary contraction or shortening of the neck muscles, most commonly the sternocleidocleidomastoid. This condition can develop in infants during birth or appear in adults due to injury or underlying neurological issues. We perform a detailed assessment of your neck range of motion and muscle strength to determine the best course of treatment.
Specialized Manual Therapy
We utilize gentle manual therapy and passive stretching to lengthen tightened muscles and improve joint mobility in the cervical spine. These hands-on techniques are essential for reducing pain and correcting the characteristic head tilt associated with the disorder.
You will experience improved circulation and decreased muscle tension through our targeted soft tissue mobilization.
Exercise and Postural Training
Effective recovery involves a combination of strengthening the weaker side of the neck and retraining your postural awareness. We provide customized exercises to improve head control and ensure your neck remains properly aligned during daily activities. Our goal is to empower you with a structured home program to maintain long-term flexibility and prevent recurrence.
