Torticollis Exercises on an Older Baby
I understand why most people say its ideal to catch torticollis before baby reaches four months old. Torticollis treatment is often easier and faster, the earlier you catch it. My daughter is now eleven months and it is so much more difficult doing her torticollis stretches and exercises. She is very mobile and strong now and can easily wiggle out of many positions I attempt to put her in. The stretches are especially challenging, while the strengthening exercises are slightly easier to accomplish compared to the stretches.

TOT Collar Video Review & Product Demo
Here is my second product review of the TOT Collar for treatment of torticollis. When my daughter was seven months old, I tried this out on my daughter and it didn't too work well for her at that time. I think her neck was too short and chunky at that age for it to work correctly. Thankfully, I tried it again when she was an older baby and it worked a whole lot better for her. I think the TOT Collar is a great supplement to regular physical therapy for torticollis.

PT Re-Evaluation #2 Update
Kellyn had another outpatient physical therapy re-evaluation for her torticollis and it went really well! She's nine months old and has been in physical therapy now for three months. So basically 1/3 of her little life here in this world has been in physical therapy. Considering the various things she's been through since birth (esophagus surgery, NICU stay, X-rays, numerous doctor's appointments, and physical therapy), she is one tough little cookie. Anyways, check out my video update on the outcome of this re-evaluation.
