Congratulations to baby Autumn on graduating from her helmet this month! 🥳

It was a double celebration as Autumn was also the 250th LOCband Lite baby to be treated in our clinic!

She and her mum Stephanie were happy to take part in the celebrations... especially as it was only a few days before her 1st birthday!

Autumn was treated by orthotist George Coles, and after 5 months of treatment, her final head scan showed her asymmetry had decreased from 12mm to 3mm.

Mum Lauren was initially delighted by Luca's ability to sleep easy at night. But when she noticed his head flattening, she started to worry and looked for answers.

After trying special pillows and consulting a GP, Lauren found the London Orthotic Consultancy through some internet sleuthing.

They attended our Romford clinic where Clinician Saeed Hamid diagnosed Luca with moderate to severe , a condition where the head is unusually wide and flat.
