#12: Infant Massage to the Rescue: Pediatric PT with a Child with Torticollis/Prematurity



Meet Ilya! Ilya was born one-month premature. He has torticollis and plagiocephaly. He is diagnosed with failure to thrive/malnutrition. He has GERD and has difficulty with projectile vomiting. He also has a lip tie/tongue tie and feeding difficulties with poor suction and latch.

These videos are not to replace in-person physical therapy. Individualized therapy is critical for a child’s success. Please do not try these with your child if your child has other risk factors or has skills, strengths, or weaknesses significantly different from Ilya’s. My email address is [email protected]. My website is www.pediatricPTexercises.com. Please remember I cannot provide treatment recommendations for a child I have not personally evaluated. You will need to find a local therapist for recommendations specific to your child.

These videos may be more helpful seen in order as I perform easier treatment techniques first. Here is the link to his playlist:

I also have 6 children’s educational books addressing Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Anxiety, and Encopresis and Enuresis. I now also have 3 professional books, “Pediatric Physical Therapy Exercises for the Hips,” “Pediatric Physical Therapy Exercises for the Knees, and “Pediatric Physical Therapy Exercises for the Ankles.” If you have questions or suggestions, don’t hesitate to contact me at [email protected]. Please note: I cannot provide treatment suggestions for a child I have not personally evaluated.
