My daughters flat spot/Tortocollis improved once she started to roll over, right around 5/6 months.

Re: New and Need Help re: My Child/Surgery

If you contact Shriners in Philly about a new patient with BPI they will try to get you in as soon as possible, typically within a few weeks.

Re: learning to sit up

I recall holding down on her hip/thigh from a laying down position. Propping her arm under her and having her push her self up. This was something we actively worked with the PT on every week. As stated above if your PT is not working on this with you it is time for a new one.
