Plagiocephaly & Head Shape Concerns

Head shape is influenced by preference patterns, positioning, and regulation. Supporting symmetry early can make a big difference over time.

Looking at the pattern behind the flat spot

Head shape is influenced by preference patterns, positioning, and regulation. Supporting symmetry early can make a big difference over time.

Care starts with understanding the pattern: what makes it better, what makes it harder, and how the body is adapting. From there, we look at spinal motion, muscle tension, posture, daily habits, and nervous-system regulation.

The goal is not to force the body into change. It is to remove interference, support clearer communication, and help your family understand the next best step.
