What is torticollis?

Torticollis is a condition in which a baby's neck muscles cause the head to tilt or rotate preferentially to one side. It can be present from birth or develop in the first few weeks of life, and is often noticed by parents when they observe that their baby consistently looks one way, struggles to feed on one side, or appears uncomfortable when their head is turned.

Torticollis is often linked to the position of the baby during pregnancy or to the birth process itself, both of which can create tension or restriction in the muscles and joints of the neck. Early treatment gives the best results.

Common symptoms

Head consistently tilted or rotated to one side
Difficulty or discomfort when turning the head the other way
Preference for feeding on one breast
Flat spot developing on one side of the head
Tightness or a palpable band in the neck muscle
Unsettledness or crying when the head is moved
Asymmetric appearance of the face or skull
Difficulty with tummy time due to neck discomfort

How we can help

Ellie uses gentle cranial and soft tissue techniques to release the tight muscles and restricted joints in the baby's neck, encouraging freer movement in both directions. Treatment is very gentle and non-invasive, always done at the baby's pace with parents present throughout. We also show parents stretches and positioning strategies to use at home between sessions.
