Torticollis & Flat Head (Plagiocephaly)
Torticollis treatment at Nurture Physio in Gurgaon is gentle physiotherapy for babies whose head tilts or turns to one favourite side, and for the flat head shape (plagiocephaly) that often comes with it. The two are common and closely linked — and both respond very well to early treatment. Started early, most babies need only a short course of stretches, positioning and play.
