Andrew Richard Branchflower DPT's Expert Contributions
  • I was diagnosed with torticollis and need to go to physical therapy. What kind of treatment will I receive?

    Your treatment will most likely consist of passive range of motion stretching, soft tissue mobilization, possible joint mobilization, modalities such as hot/cold packs/traction/electrical stimulation/ultrasound and postural strengthening activities performed by the therapist and instructions on how to perform these activities independently at home. The therapist may not perform all of these treatments, but will likely choose from these and select appropriate treatments based on the findings of your initial evaluation and which treatments you respond best to.
