In brief
Dr Dominique Boudet, Osteopath D.O. in Dubai, offers gentle sessions that may help ease infant torticollis, when a baby holds the head tilted or turned to one side. By softly releasing neck tension, he supports comfort and freer movement, alongside, never instead of, the care of your pediatrician.
Infant torticollisTorticollis often shows as a baby who keeps the head tilted to one side and turned to the other, prefers to feed on one side, or resists looking the other way. It may appear soon after birth and can be linked to positioning in the womb or during delivery.
Gentle osteopathy assesses neck mobility and how freely your baby turns both ways.
Dr Boudet uses very soft techniques to ease tension in the neck and upper back and encourage balanced movement. Nothing is forced or abrupt. Your baby stays lightly dressed and close to you, in a calm, reassuring setting.
These sessions suit babies with a head tilt, a strong side preference or limited neck rotation, ideally seen early. Gentle exercises from your pediatrician or physiotherapist often work well alongside osteopathy, which holds its own place in the care pathway.
Yes, the techniques are extremely gentle and adapted to a baby's delicate neck. Dr Boudet uses only soft contact, never forceful movements, and remains in dialogue with your pediatrician when that is useful.
Babies can be seen in the first weeks of life, and early gentle care is often helpful for torticollis. If unsure, a quick word at booking will help confirm the right timing for your child.
It varies with each baby. Dr Boudet often suggests a few gentle sessions over time, reviewing how freely your baby turns the head as movement improves and tension eases.
Dr Boudet may suggest simple, gentle ideas such as encouraging your baby to look and feed both ways, and supervised tummy time. Any exercises from your pediatrician or physiotherapist fit well alongside.
