Question
When the baby is crawling, its head always leans to one side. Could this be due to muscular torticollis? Can massage therapy help with recovery, and how long does it typically take?
Answer
Many cases of muscular torticollis may require surgical treatment, and the effectiveness of massage therapy is uncertain, often necessitating long-term application. While massage therapy can be effective, it cannot fully replace surgical treatment. It is recommended to continue with massage therapy as it can help alleviate the torticollis condition. It is important to avoid self-massage, as it requires proper technique and frequency to prevent unnecessary pain or injury to the baby. I hope this answer is helpful.
