Zach is our littlest baby. He is now 10 months old. He has been diagnosed with Torticollis, Brachycephaly and Plagiocephaly, ‘flat head syndrome’.

Basically, a tightening in his neck muscles has lead to him only being able to comfortably turn his head one way which means his head shape, ears and eyes are now out of alignment. He has had a scan and been diagnosed with the most severe form of this condition. He will need to have physiotherapy and cranial osteopathy to attempt to relieve his pain. In addition to this, he will need to wear a helmet (TiMband) for 23 hours a day for at least the next 6 months in order to try and correct his head shape. This treatment is not available on the NHS as it is deemed a ‘cosmetic’ procedure.
