Tom was 4½ months old when he first came to the London Orthotic Consultancy. His parents were concerned about his head shape after he had been diagnosed with torticollis. Although his neck movement improved with stretches and repositioning, his mum and dad had not seen any improvement in his head shape after three months of repositioning.
Tom was assessed at LOC, and his measurements showed severe plagiocephaly affecting the left side of his head. His parents were particularly concerned about the asymmetry in his forehead and cheek. Repositioning during the earlier months had not improved his head shape, so they decided to move forward with LOCband helmet treatment.
Tom’s helmet was fitted two weeks later, and within ten weeks his asymmetry had reduced by 50%. After four months, his asymmetry was minimal. However, he continued to wear the helmet at night because he was still favouring his left side while sleeping, and his parents remained concerned about how flexible his head was.
By the end of treatment two months later, Tom’s head shape had improved significantly, and his parents were thrilled with the outcome. His mum said, “We would always highly recommend the London Orthotic Consultancy.”

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!”
Maria, Magnus’s mother – Plagiocephaly patient
