Early pediatric physical therapy can help children build strength, coordination, and healthy movement patterns. Learn how early intervention supports motor development, developmental delays, torticollis, plagiocephaly, and more.

As a pediatric physical therapist, I meet many families who first notice something “just a little off” about their baby’s head position. Maybe their baby always looks to one side. Maybe tummy time feels impossible. Maybe photos show a slight head tilt. These early signs often point to torticollis, a very common condition—and one that responds beautifully to early intervention.

The good news is simple: with timely support, most babies make rapid, meaningful progress.
