A recent journal publication in the Journal of Pediatric Physical Therapy, states that when treating Torticollis, early detection is imperative. \u00a0The rate of recovery and result are both exponentially increased with earlier detection and treatment of Torticollis. The journal states, \u201cWhen PT is initiated before 1 month of age\u2026 98% of ROM is regained within 1.5 months of PT. When PT is initiated from 1-3 months 89% of ROM is regained with 6 months of PT. \u00a0However when PT is started 3-6 months ROM decreases to 62 % after 7 months of PT and when initiated over 6 months of age it decreases to less than 20% ROM within 10 months of PT. Therefore it is imperative that infants with Torticollis are identified early and receive appropriate PT intervention for optimal outcomes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>AGE<\/td>\n<td>Cervical Range of Motion<\/td>\n<td>Time in Physical Therapy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>&lt; 1Month<\/td>\n<td>98%<\/td>\n<td>1.5 Months<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1-3Months<\/td>\n<td>89%<\/td>\n<td>6 Months<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3-6Months<\/td>\n<td>62%<\/td>\n<td>7 Months<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>&gt;6 Months<\/td>\n<td>20%<\/td>\n<td>10 Months<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-616\" src=\"https:\/\/homebasept.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/brinda-rathod-physical-therapist-morristown-nj-253x300.jpg\" alt=\"BrindaRathod Physical Therapist Home Base Physical Therapy in Morristown NJ Specializing in Infant, Pediatric and Lymphedema PT\" width=\"253\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homebasept.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/brinda-rathod-physical-therapist-morristown-nj-253x300.jpg 253w, https:\/\/homebasept.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/brinda-rathod-physical-therapist-morristown-nj-768x912.jpg 768w, https:\/\/homebasept.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/brinda-rathod-physical-therapist-morristown-nj-863x1024.jpg 863w, https:\/\/homebasept.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/brinda-rathod-physical-therapist-morristown-nj.jpg 999w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 253px) 100vw, 253px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Brinda Rathod, MSPT, CLT<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brinda has been a physical therapist for over 12 years.
