Physiotherapy for Torticollis (Wry Neck)

Physiotherapy for Torticollis (Wry Neck)

Do you notice your head tilting to one side or find it difficult to turn your neck fully? You might be experiencing Torticollis, commonly known as Wry Neck — a condition where the neck muscles tighten or shorten on one side, causing the head to tilt and rotate abnormally. It can occur suddenly due to muscle strain, poor sleeping posture, or even after an injury.

Common Symptoms:

• Restricted neck movement
• Muscle stiffness and pain on one side
• Uneven shoulder height
• Head tilt with discomfort while turning

Physiotherapy Management:

• Gentle stretching and mobility exercises to lengthen tight muscles
• Manual therapy for neck alignment and muscle release
• Heat therapy and ultrasound to reduce stiffness
• Postural correction to prevent recurrence
• Home exercises for long-term muscle balance

Timely physiotherapy helps restore movement, reduce pain, and prevent chronic neck issues.
