Flat Head Syndrome<br />
Almost all babies which have<br />
a natural birth are born with<br />
abnormal head shapes, this<br />
is completely normal. Most<br />
newborn baby’s heads return<br />
to a normal shape within 6<br />
weeks of the birth. If your<br />
baby’s head does not return<br />
to a ‘normal’ shape, worsens<br />
or becomes misshapen after<br />
6 weeks, it is important to<br />
seek a diagnosis.<br />
Babies’ heads are very<br />
malleable (to help with the<br />
birthing process), this is why<br />
repeated external pressure<br />
can cause skull deformities<br />
known as positional or<br />
deformational plagiocephaly,<br />
which can be permanent<br />
and worsen over time if left<br />
untreated.<br />
We work alongside two<br />
charities and offer a no<br />
obligation, free assessment<br />
and consultation in being<br />
able to provide families with<br />
objective diagnoses, answers<br />
and solutions for their little<br />
ones misshapen heads.<br />
We also pride ourselves in<br />
having the time to explain<br />
and reassure the Mums and<br />
Dads that there are a range of<br />
solutions providing their little<br />
one is under 18 months of age.<br />
The Charities can also<br />
help with funding (Should<br />
it be required) for families<br />
who would benefit from the<br />
helmet treatment. Please<br />
contact us if you would like<br />
more information on this.<br />
