Boo! This week join Sheila and Sara as they cover torticollis, cranial deformity and arthrogryposis. They start off this episode with torticollis and cranial deformity.  Last season, they did an entire episode covering the torticollis CPG.  That was the most comprehensive episode we have done and we definitely feel that it covers the full depth of torticollis. The book chapter leans heavily on the CPG so a lot of this information will be repetitive with that, but that is ok! Repetition is good. They then move on to cover arthrogryposis through the life span.
