A member asked:

Do i have torticollis, i think i am missing my right scm. i think this has caused a very asymmetrical face. how can this be treated.

Neck Muscles Rx: First you need a diagnosis. If it is simply a matter of weak muscle, that can be made much stronger. First check your posture - use a mirror. Try the simple neck exercises at www.grossaninstitute.com If your torticollis persists, this is treatable.
