How do I Know if My Child Requires a Cranial Remoulding Orthoses / Helmet?
If you, or your friends / family / midwife / health visitor recognises that your child has: • A flattened area on their head. • Facial asymmetry. • Different eye shape. • One eye more forward than the other. • One ear more forward than the other. • No defined neck line • Too prominent exaggerated neck line. • A wider head than normal. • Lumps above one or both ears. • A higher head height than normal (cone shaped). • A prominent forehead, one side or both sides. Vitality in Motion recommends booking an appointment with our Specialist to discuss your individual case and provide you with a treatment plan to slow the progression of the Plagiocephaly or to correct your child’s head shape. It is important to take into consideration that no persons head is completely symmetrical; a degree of asymmetry in the skull shape is normal. Whether treatment is needed depends on the degree of asymmetry and whether as parents or guardians you notice the flattening on your child.
