Torticollis: How Specialized Physiotherapy Can Aid Recovery

## An Introduction to Torticollis

At one point or another, most people have awakened to the unwelcome sensation of a stiff and painful neck. But for individuals with torticollis, this discomfort is more than just an occasional annoyance; it's an ongoing condition that can significantly impact one's quality of life. In literal terms, “torticollis” refers to any irregular position of the head and neck that gives it a twisted appearance. It can affect people of all ages — from newborns to adults — and often arises from muscle contraction or neck injury.

## The Role of Physiotherapy in Treating Torticollis

Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in managing and treating this condition. At Versa Movement Collective , our team of expert physiotherapists provides tailored, patient-centred care designed to alleviate the symptoms of torticollis and gently guide the head back to its proper alignment.

## Patient-centric Approach to Torticollis Treatment

Every journey towards better health begins with a thorough assessment. Our physiotherapists conduct comprehensive evaluations to understand the origin and extent of a patient's condition. This allows us to develop a highly customized treatment plan designed to address the individual patient's needs.

Our treatment plans for torticollis typically involve a combination of therapeutic exercises and manual therapy techniques. Manual therapy includes hands-on techniques such as soft tissue mobilization and muscle energy techniques used to improve range of motion and reduce muscle tension. Meanwhile, therapeutic exercises help in strengthening neck muscles and maintaining the flexibility of the cervical spine.

## Encouraging Active Participation in Recovery

At Versa Movement Collective, we firmly believe in empowering our patients. We not only guide you through each therapy session, but we also educate you on ways to manage your condition at home.
