Torticollis & Head Shape Support
Gentle, Informed Care for Head Shape, Neck Movement, and Early Development
Noticing that your baby prefers turning their head one way, tilts their head, or has flattening on one side of the head can raise questions. Is this within the range of typical development? Will it change with time? Is extra support helpful?
At Movevery, we provide calm, clear, and evidence-informed support for torticollis and head shape concerns—helping families understand what they’re seeing, how it relates to movement and development, and what support, if any, is appropriate.
Understanding Torticollis & Head Shape
Torticollis is commonly described as tightness or imbalance in the neck muscles, often showing up as a head tilt or a preference for turning the head to one side. While it’s most noticeable at the neck, torticollis reflects how the entire body is organizing movement and posture, not just one muscle or area.
When a baby consistently rests or moves in the same positions, these full-body patterns can also contribute to head shape differences, including plagiocephaly (flattening on one side of the head).
Every baby has preferred positions for lying, feeding, and sleeping. When those positions don’t vary much over time, one area of the head may experience more pressure—sometimes noticeable, sometimes subtle. This is often when families begin to wonder whether what they’re seeing is within the range of typical development or something that could benefit from support.
Why Early Checks Matter
In the first months of life, your baby’s head grows rapidly and the skull remains soft. This window allows gentle, thoughtful support that works with natural growth and early movement patterns.
An early check can:
Help you understand what you’re noticing
Identify whether torticollis or head shape differences are present
Offer simple, proactive strategies when support is helpful
Confirm when development appears within typical variation
Early support doesn’t always mean intervention. Often, it means guidance, education, and reassurance—so you can feel informed and confident moving forward.
