Ask a PT Response: "Please refer to our article on wry neck: http://www.cyberpt.com/torticollis.asp - http://www.cyberpt.com/torticollis.asp for more information. Physical therapy is the treatment of choice for torticollis (wry neck) and is most often very successful. I would consult with your child's pediatrician to see if he or she has any recommendations for physical therapists who work with children and this condition. Your child's therapist will be able to give you futher information as far as frequency of visits and appropriate home exercises tailored to your child's individual needs."
