A Gentler Approach

Transforming the Way Therapists Treat Torticollis

Created by pediatric physical therapist Nancy Neiditz, A Gentler Approach™ is a USA-accredited continuing education program that teaches pediatric therapists a compassionate, movement-based approach to evaluating and treating infants with congenital muscular torticollis.

“I found that when therapists approached a baby with an agenda to change their cervical posture through stretching, they were often met with resistance and fear. I believed there had to be a gentler way.”

That belief became A Gentler Approach™.
