Participants will learn to effectively treat infants and young children with torticollis, including those cases that are most challenging. They will learn to analyze the effects of torticollis, sleep posture and increased use of positional devices on infant postural development and their implications for management. Clinical pathways for management of infant head shape, diagnostic procedures and surgical intervention will be appraised. Functional, clinically oriented evaluation and evidence based treatment strategies for infants and young children that can be integrated into play will be provided. Participants will learn home exercise programs and effective strategies to team with parents to ensure follow through. Learning opportunities will transpire through lectures, case reports, group problem solving and video review.
