Abstract:
An one year old girl with congenital torticolis was subjected to study. At birth, an oval neck mass was persisted at the right side, which made the head tilted. The patient was treated by massage to reduce the contraction of clavicle muscle. Infra-red was irradiated during 10 minutes in the neck and the left side lumbar regions. Exercises were practised to rotate the neck and the trunk, and to stretch the neck. Mother was trained for holding and carrying the child at home. 4 months of treatment gave good results
