Torticollis Pictures: 11 Weeks of PT

So it's about that time again when I post Kellyn's progress pictures from physical therapy for her torticollis.  Comparing to her six week pictures, I would say she has improved tremendously.  Now keep in mind though that her six week pictures were taken on a day that she was having a "bad torticollis day".  Even still, I notice a great improvement overall as compared to when she first started physical therapy.

Her right head tilt is negligible in this picture,
and her right neck depression looks much less noticeable.

This picture did bring to my attention that her trunk tilt/curvature is still slightly present.
However, it is still a huge improvement from when she first started in physical therapy.

Her right head tilt still tends to worsen when she is looking down at the ground,
compared to when she's looking straight ahead.

She doesn't even look like she has torticollis in this picture!
And I am so impressed how her facial features (eyes, cheeks, and jawline)
 are getting more and more symmetrical.
