Conservative Therapy and Prevention

Back to Sleep... Tummy to Play

Many risks for plagiocephaly cannot be influenced by a concerned parent. Muscular Torticollis, restricted space prior to birth, prematurity, and even the "Back to Sleep Program" can alter an infant's head shape.

A concerned parent can use the conservative therapies of "Tummy Time" and repositioning. These are observed activities that keep an infant off their back. These activities reduce the external forces to the back of the head while strengthening the neck and upper body.
