Plagiocephaly

Is your baby’s head flattening causing concern?

Many newborns develop flat spots on their heads (plagiocephaly or brachycephaly) in the first few weeks. While this is usually normal and improves on its own, there are ways to address it.

Cranial osteopathy offers a gentle, non-invasive approach for managing head flattening and head preference in infants. This treatment focuses on the body's natural healing abilities and utilizes gentle techniques to:

Encourage the skull bones to return to a more symmetrical shape.
Release restrictions in the cranial bones, fascia, and soft tissues.

While results may vary, cranial osteopathy can be very effective.
It’s important to remember that every baby is unique, and some may require multiple sessions.
Here’s what you can do:

Talk to your osteopath

They can diagnose the cause of your baby’s head flattening and recommend the best course of action.

Practice positioning

The osteopath can advise on positioning techniques to prevent further flattening and encourage symmetrical head shape.

Consider exercises and stretches

Simple exercises and stretches can help activate muscles and reduce flattening.

Early intervention is key. By identifying head preference early and combining cranial osteopathy with
positioning and exercises, you can effectively manage plagiocephaly and
help your baby achieve a healthy, symmetrical head shape.
