Therapy

Riley had his first Occupational Therapy appointment this week. The doctor noticed that he turned his head to the right side more than the left, and that he has a slight flat spot on the back of his head. The weaker side of his neck is due to the fact that he was a long baby, that he was head down the majority of my pregnancy, and that I have a short torso, so his neck was probably turned in one direction for several weeks before he was born. We are working on stretching his neck, exercising the muscles, and getting him to lay on the other side to avoid a helmet.

Here is a pic of Riley with his Occupational Therapist, Jennifer, showing us how to stretch one side of his neck.... he looks THRILLED!!
