Course Description:

My name is Rosemary Peng, PT, MSPT. As a clinician who has worked for more
than 20 years in pediatric settings, I’ve seen and treated patients with congenital
muscular torticollis (CMT). In the past, I focused too much of my attention on
treating the neck only and not checking for other asymmetries that can occur. This
resulted in seeing minimal gains. What was I missing? There had to be a better way
to treat this population. Finally, I discovered that by including 7 body structures
in my examination I could effectively treat my patients by strengthening neck
muscles, promoting better head posture, and improving fine and gross motor
development of the child.
In this lab-intensive training, learn and practice evidence-based tools found in
the updated 2018 Clinical Practice Guidelines which I use to accurately assess and
treat infants. You’ll enhance your skills by learning proven treatment techniques
as well as alternative approaches that don’t make your patient feel discomfort and
results in better outcomes. Ease the fear of parents or caregivers with clear goals
and education. Walk away feeling confident and comfortable using these proven
strategies that immediately carry over into your clinical setting.
