Here are some things you will learn:⁣✅ Torticollis, a head-turning preference, isn't just a neck issue! It's often connected to the whole body including the pelvis, rib cage, and jaw. ⁣✅ Babies need lots of 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐲 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 for development! 🤸‍♀️ Containers like swings and bouncers limit movement and can exacerbate asymmetries. ⁣✅ 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐞 matters! Plagiocephaly is a flat spot on one side of the head, while brachycephaly is flatness on the back of the head.
