Accurate assessment of infant head growth and shape plays a vital role in early identification of developmental concerns.

  • Assessing and treating head shape concerns and associated issuees (toritcollis, weakness or other packaging related issues)
  • Recognising potential red flags with head shape and growth, eg. craniosynostosis
  • Referral pathways and other management strategies (helmet therapy, etc)
