[quote=Anonymous]There are a couple things that are true about plagiocephaly and helmets in the U.S. First, the U.S. is the only country I know of where babies are routinely advised to wear corrective helmets. Second is that the predatory vibe you picked up on is correct - the helmet industry is interested in selling helmets, and the medical professionals who work there are not highly medically trained. As an analogy, they are more like drug reps than pharmacists. However, neither of these statements means that a helmet isn’t a good therapy in your case. To get a better perspective, I would ask to be referred to a PT who is not associated with a helmet company. PT is the first line for plagiocephaly in the uk and Europe. [/quote]
