When should I seek out Physical Therapy services for my child?

As a general guideline, it can be helpful to seek professional care by a physical therapist if your child isn’t achieving the following milestones:

• Unable to hold up head by 4 months

• Not rolling by 7 months

• Not sitting independently by 10 months

• Not crawling by 11 months

• Not walking by 16 months

• Or if your baby tilts their head to the side and/or favors turning their head to one side, they may have torticollis

• Or if you have any general concerns about their gross motor development, schedule a virtual consult or evaluation with me to assess if there is a need for physical therapy

If my baby has Torticollis, when should I start Physical Therapy?

It is important to start physical therapy services as soon as possible if your baby has torticollis. Having a flat head (plagiocephaly) and torticollis frequently occur together. With earlier intervention, babies are more likely to have quicker and more complete resolution of torticollis.
