Baby Torticollis — What It Looks Like

Congenital or positional torticollis — when a baby’s neck muscles are tight on one side — often shows up as a tilted head or a strong side preference. Addressing it early with gentle, hands-on care supports comfortable movement and can help prevent related head-shape changes.

  • Head consistently tilted to one side
  • Strong preference turning the head one direction
  • A tight band felt along one side of the neck
  • Difficulty during tummy time on one side
  • Flat spot developing alongside the head tilt

How Osteopathy Helps

Our osteopaths use very gentle, infant-appropriate techniques to ease tightness in the neck muscles and improve symmetrical movement, combined with simple positioning tips parents can use every day.
