Meet my friend Rody the horse. I have been going to Physical Therapy for 2 weeks now for a mild case of torticollis. Basically, I was born with some of my neck muscles on the left side very tight causing my head to tilt. So at therapy, I stretch and strengthen my neck, and I even get a good massage by my therapist Mrs. Ginger. I have been making such good progress! Mommy and Daddy also make me work very hard at home each day to practice looking left, rolling to the left, holding objects in my left hand, and doing stretches. It makes for some good play time!
Here Mrs. Ginger is holding onto me while I hold onto Rody. She lets me rock back and forth, and I have to hold on real tight to practice my grip. Mrs. Ginger says I am doing so good she needs to find something else to work on so she can keep me around longer! I am the youngest patient in the office, and everyone likes to come talk to me. I usually just give them a great BIG smile! Mommy and Daddy are so proud of me! You should have seen them today at therapy - Mommy was taking pictures and Daddy was shaking toys in the air to make me look left. They were quite a sight!
