Here, we share Francis’ plagiocephaly journey and what families can expect from flat head syndrome orthotic treatment at the London Orthotic Consultancy:

“Francis came to Harley Street with his parents when he was almost 4 months old. His parents had noticed his flat head shape when he was 2 months old and began repositioning him almost immediately. He favoured sleeping on his back with his head turned to the right, although not exclusively. At such a young age, his head could easily be turned during sleep, as recommended when repositioning. However, his parents did not see any improvement in his head shape. They were aware of cranial remoulding helmets and were quite relaxed about moving forward with treatment once his measurements showed severe plagiocephaly. He had some flattening at the back of his head and also some facial asymmetry.”

If you are concerned about your baby’s head shape, you can use our online flat head photo assessment form for a fast, free and confidential review from one of our orthotists. Your first appointment, if needed, is also free.

How the LOCband Lite can help with plagiocephaly treatment

Backed by clinical research, LOCband Lite is a non-invasive cranial remoulding helmet designed to support a more balanced head shape over time. Results vary depending on age, severity and daily wear time.

 

“From the very start, everyone at the London Orthotic Consultancy was professional and friendly. Every step of the way was well-explained and the fitting was quick. It only took Magnus one day to get used to the band, and after that, he wasn’t bothered by it at all. And, most importantly, it worked!”
