What you'll learn: - Understand the anatomy, causes, and common signs of Congenital Muscular Torticollis (CMT). - Learn safe positioning and handling techniques for feeding, sleeping, and carrying to promote symmetrical development. - Implement structured tummy time routines and play-based activities that naturally encourage neck rotation and muscle strength. - Monitor key motor milestones to ensure balanced physical development and prevent secondary flat head syndrome (plagiocephaly). - Collaborate effectively with pediatricians and physical therapists to track progress and adjust care plans. You will start with the fundamental concepts and definitions of CMT before moving into daily care protocols, environmental adjustments, and practical home strategies you can seamlessly integrate into your baby's daily routine.
