Course Description:

My name is Rosemary Peng, PT, MST. 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.
