Postural asymmetries
Restoring symmetry, early.
From a baby's head-turn preference to a growing child's posture and spinal alignment, asymmetry is often very workable — most of all when we catch it early. We restore even alignment, balanced movement and free range through gentle, active therapy matched to each child's age and stage.
What it is
Postural asymmetry, in plain terms.
Postural asymmetries are uneven patterns of alignment and movement — a strong head-turn preference, torticollis, or a body that consistently favours one side. Caught early, they respond well before they shape development.
We restore symmetry actively: freeing range, balancing tone left-to-right, and building even, midline movement through play. Gentle, precise and measured around each baby or child.
Subtypes we work with
Patterns we work with.
We have hands-on experience with the variants named below — and with many rare types that don't fit neatly into any of them. If your child's diagnosis isn't here, please reach out: we work with complex and rare cases every day.
The toolkit
Methods that restore balance.
DMI — motor mapping
Dynamic Movement Intervention drives automatic motor responses and new movement patterns.
About DMICME — gravity reaction
Cuevas MEDEK Exercise trains the child's reaction to gravity and postural control.
Ask about CMETheraSuit — alignment
A suit system that improves alignment and loads the body for active, intensive work.
Ask about TheraSuitGalileo — activation
Gentle vibration wakes up and strengthens muscles before and during therapy.
Ask about GalileoHow we work with it
Gentle, hands-on symmetry work.
We free range, balance tone left-to-right and build even, midline movement through active play — in focused sessions, tracked so progress is visible.
No generic templates. Every plan is built around one child's specific pattern and stage — and adjusted as symmetry returns.
Questions, answered
What parents ask us.
How early can we start?
The earlier the better — small asymmetries are very workable in the first months, before they influence rolling, sitting and crawling.
Is this the same as a flat-head helmet?
Different but related. We address the underlying movement and tone asymmetry actively; we'll advise if other measures are worth discussing with your paediatrician.
How many sessions will it take?
It varies with age and pattern. We measure at the start and review progress so you can see change — many cases respond quickly.
Will insurance help fund it?
Often, via Krankenkasse or IV/AI pathways. See insurance & funding — our parent liaison helps with the paperwork.
Not quite a match?
Doesn't your child fit this profile?
We work with all kinds of children. If your child's condition or diagnosis isn't exactly what's described here, reach out anyway — we'll happily answer your questions, and we look forward to speaking with you.
