Lorena Vargas, a Physical Therapist, shares a routine of exercise to help your baby with torticollis. These exercises should only be performed with the diagnosis and consent of a pediatrician or physical therapist. In this video, two stretches are shown to help relax your baby's neck muscles. ***PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND VERY GENTLE*** with these stretches. These stretches should not be forced or painful for the baby. If your baby doesn't tolerate these stretches, place a toy on the side that they do not prefer to have their head turned and try to entertain them there for several seconds to minutes.

Other exercises like moving the pelvis and shoulders, playing with both hands, and doing tummy time help your baby recognize and explore their environment.
