Late Bloomers will Bloom when they are ready to bloom! The Speed of Children , they have their own timeline when it comes to milestones. Kids will walk when it's their right time. Talk when they're ready. Feeling guilty when your child isn't progressing like the other children the same age. Comparing is not good yet it's the first thing that happens when they're born IE: “pediatric growth chart”. When parents get caught up in the progress of other kids they lose out on the everyday and individual achievements of their own child. Parents need to enjoy every moment of every day that the kids are young because the time goes too fast. Before you know it, your 6 month old is 6 years old!

The Relationship between Plagiocephaly and Torticollis. Stretches and Manipulation To understand the relationship between plagiocephaly and torticollis you need to know what each of them is. Babies can be born with both conditions. Sometimes one can cause the other and vice versa. Plagiocephaly presents itself with an asymmetrically shaped head, one side being more flat than the other side. Torticollis is a shortened neck muscle causing a head tilt. This shortened neck muscle comes from a small knot in the muscle fibres which can be worked out with the stretches and manipulation of Physical Therapy . The physical limitations of Torticollis develops Plagiocephaly. The good news is that Physical Therapy 4 Kids is ready to help your infant in the White Plains, West Chester area of NY.

"ALONG CAME AUTISM: DOMINICK’S STORY" “My son was born with severe torticollis and even had to wear a helmet. Fortunately, with physical therapy and chiropractic care, he improved. He hit all his milestones: smiling, clapping, waving, crawling, walking, and even some speech. By comparison to his twin I thought “Well Dominick is not behind, Jonathan is just a little advanced. Besides, he had to go through all that therapy and wear a helmet!” I never put that much thought into it until I noticed he wouldn’t make eye contact, respond to his name, and sometimes he would bang his head on the floor. He suffered from frequent ear infections, so my first overly protective, motherly assumption was, “Oh my God, he’s deaf!” I immediately scheduled an appointment with an ear, nose,...
