What is Plagiocephaly? Plagiocephaly is a condition that affects the shape of an infant's skull, causing it to appear flattened on one side. This condition can result from various factors, including a baby's position in the womb, using car seats or carriers, or spending too much time on their back. While plagiocephaly is typically a cosmetic issue and does not cause developmental delays or health problems, it can concern parents. Pediatric physical therapy can help parents with exercises and activities to promote neck muscle strength and prevent further skull flattening. Also, helmets may help reshape the head in more severe cases. By addressing plagiocephaly early on, parents can help ensure their child's head shape returns to normal and prevent potential long-term complications. Don't hesitate to contact us with any concerns about your infant. Physical Therapy 4 Kids White Plains, NY 914-421-9392 https://physicaltherapy4kids.com/plagiocephaly-therapy-westchester

Toe Walking in Children

Image
  Toe Walking Written by Wendy Kaplan-Lager, PT, C/NDT, a Pediatric Physical Therapist and Prana Practitioner. Most children learn to walk between 12-15 months of age with their feet flat on the ground. Some children who are first learning to walk may walk up on their toes or the balls of their feet. This typically disappears within 3-6 months of regular walking. Habitual toe-walking occurs with children who continue to toe walk beyond the toddler years (after age 2). By age 3, there should not be any residual toe walking. Some parents think it is “cute,” but it needs to be watched and addressed if it persists. Left untreated, children can end up with tight leg muscles, balance and coordination difficulties, and walking problems. Early treatment by a Pediatric Physical Therapist can reduce and prevent Toe walking. At  Physical Therapy 4 Kids , toe walking is one of the more frequent diagnoses treated here with tremendous success. Causes of Toe Walking: Idiopathic/Habitual Toe Walking
