Torticollis in latin means "twisted neck." Sophia has this condition. I should have seen in sooner, but she was diagnosed last week and we took her to a physical therapist who felt she had a moderate case of it. She has two different muscles that are contracting too much or are too short. We are doing therapy at home which consists of stretching and trying to get her to look to her left, which she hates. We are hopeful that the therapy will start to work before all the bones in her skull fuse, because her head is a little crooked right now. I'll show a couple of pictures of her. Notice how she always has her head in that position.
If you want to know more just google corticollis. Poor little girl and she already had surgery two months ago.
