Torticollis Physical Therapy Re-evaluation

Kellyn had her eight week re-evaluation with her outpatient physical therapist today. Kellyn must have known she had to perform because she was having "a good torticollis day." Anyways, the physical therapist noticed continued improvement in her muscle strength and flexibility. She was also happy to see that Kellyn's head tilt was negligible while lying on her back.

As you can see, Kellyn's head looks nice and straight while lying down.
Maybe she's showing off for her big brother.

Torticollis Suspected

So for the past few months, I've been noticing my daughter Kellyn has been tilting her head to her right side and tilting her trunk to the left side.  I also noticed that her left eye is open slightly more than her right side.  I mentioned her tilts and her eyes to her doctors when she was about six months old, but no one seemed to be too concerned.  I was given general advice of stretching her and encouraging her to look to her right side.  I was also told that if it doesn't correct itself over time, than she may need physical therapy in the future.
