Flat Head Syndrome Treatment
Also known as cranial head remoulding. A custom made helmet or band is worn by the little one and gently channels all growth correcting the asymmetry and improving the overall head shape.
Plagiocephaly
Flattening on the side of the head. Associated movements include a shift forwards of the ear and a bossed forehead on the same side as the flattening.
Brachycephaly
Flattening to the back of the head. Associated movements include a bossed or prominent forehead, flexed temporal lobes (Above the ears), a reduced neck line at the back of the head and a wider than normal head shape.
Scaphycephaly

‘You have not only given me a lovely new head, you have given me a better chance in life’
Another little one graduated from treatment. His parents were incredible from the word go and a worse case treatment time of 8-9 months finished at 5 months!! I always prefer to be conservative with my treatment time estimations as I think a worse case scenario which...

Andy and Sarah comment on our fantastic product!
One month after Peter was born, his grandparents noticed that he only looked to his left side. We noticed the same, but did not give it much more thought, assuming that his little newborn head did not have much control. Over the next 6 weeks it became very clear that...
