Muscle & Joint Problems (Musculoskeletal)
Plagiocephaly (Cranial Asymmetry)
This is a physiological moulding of the head that occurs in response to pressure on the back and side of the head, relating to the head turn preference. The head assumes a parallelogram shape with flattening at the back and bossing of the forehead, which can impact head control. Physiotherapy management includes targeting neck range of movement with stretches, positioning and environmental adaptations of activities to promote alignment and symmetry.
