Okay everyone at the table, if you've ever noticed your baby favoring one side, a flat spot forming on their head, or something that just felt a little "off" about how they move, we're unpacking all of this today. I'm sitting down with Jill Moscicki from Leap Pediatric Therapy, a pediatric PT who works with kids from birth all the way through age 22, to talk about what's really going on underneath things like torticollis and plagiocephaly, and why "wait and see" isn't always the safest approach.

Jill walks us through how to spot early red flags, why catching these things sooner rather than later makes such a difference, and what the process actually looks like if your child needs equipment or extra support along the way. We also dig into the root cause behind these physical delays, not just the visible symptom, because understanding the why changes how you show up for your child.

If you're a parent trusting your gut about something you've noticed, or you just want to understand what pediatric PT actually covers, pull up a seat, this one's for you.
