Torticollis in Infants

Torticollis is when an infant's neck muscle is tight on one side, causing the head to tilt or turn. Early physiotherapy is highly effective in correcting it.

Common Symptoms

Do's

  • Encourage supervised tummy time
  • Alternate the baby's head position during feeding and sleep
  • Follow the neck-stretching routine guided by your physiotherapist
  • Attend regular follow-up assessments

Don'ts

  • Don't force the baby's neck movement
  • Avoid always positioning the baby's head the same way
  • Don't delay starting therapy once noticed
  • Avoid skipping recommended follow-up visits

When to see a physiotherapist: See a physiotherapist early if you notice a consistent head tilt, as prompt treatment gives the best results.
