Shari Stamps recommends a multi-pronged approach to managing torticollis in infants. This includes:

  • Seeking the help of a trained infant craniosacral therapist. Craniosacral therapy can help address fascial strain and other issues related to torticollis.
  • Notifying your pediatrician to get a physical therapy (PT) referral. PT can provide exercises and techniques to help manage torticollis.
  • Working with lactation support, as oral restrictions can sometimes contribute to torticollis.
  • Considering chiropractic care, if needed.

Shari also suggests checking for tongue and lip ties with a frenulum specialist, as these can cause tightness in the body that may contribute to torticollis. If ties are revised, it's important to do a lot of body work with your doctor's recommended specialists to prevent or work on possible torticollis.

For more information, you can listen to Shari's podcast episode "The Magic of CST" available on Spotify and Apple Podcast.

Remember, every child is unique, so what works for one may not work for another. Always consult with healthcare professionals for personalized advice.
