This little boy first visited us in July 2015 with his parents. He had been diagnosed with torticollis at 2 months old and had begun physiotherapy for this. Because of the torticollis, he tended to sleep on his back with his head turned to the left, which contributed to plagiocephaly, despite good progress being made with his neck tightness. Although some improvement was seen with repositioning, his plagiocephaly remained clearly visible, particularly as he also had some facial asymmetry.
He was 7 months old when he was first assessed, and his parents felt they had reached the full potential of repositioning. As he had become more mobile, they no longer had control over his sleeping position. His measurements showed severe plagiocephaly, and his parents decided to begin LOCband Lite treatment.
He adapted well to wearing his helmet from the start, and his parents even organised some fantastic custom-made stickers to decorate it. Over the course of treatment, his head shape improved significantly. Four months later, his asymmetry had reduced from 13mm to 2mm, with a very noticeable improvement in his plagiocephaly and facial symmetry.
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!”
