LOC’s LOCband Lite treatment helped improve head shape asymmetry for these twins.
As is common with twins, these two boys developed plagiocephaly linked to their position in the womb, and their head shapes were a mirror image of each other. With LOCband Lite treatment, each boy’s cranial asymmetry reduced by 12mm and 13mm respectively, reaching 5mm after six months.
Our senior orthotist, treated these lovely twins. This is what she has to say about the treatment:
“The twins came to our Kingston upon Thames clinic with their parents when they were five months old. Their parents were very concerned about both boys’ head shapes and had worked hard with repositioning techniques to address these concerns. Both twins measured in the severe range, with 17mm and 18mm of cranial vault asymmetry respectively. Due to the lack of improvement with repositioning, their parents decided to move forward with LOCband Lite treatment. A 3D digital scan was taken and treatment began shortly afterwards. The boys adapted well to wearing their cranial remoulding helmets, and their parents noticed improvement quite quickly, which was very reassuring. After six months, both boys completed treatment with asymmetry reduced to 5mm.
Mum, Lulu, shared this about their experience with LOC:
“When we learned that our twins had plagiocephaly, the London Orthotic Consultancy was recommended to us by a paediatrician. Right from our first appointment, the team at LOC was supportive and professional, giving us the confidence to face the initially daunting prospect of having helmets fitted for our boys so early in their lives. We were delighted with the service and the outcome of treatment. We felt supported every step of the way, with regular check-ups meaning we were always aware of our twins’ progress.”

“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!”
