Through this article, we will explain the advantages of STARband helmet therapy for infants.  Helmet therapy is used to correct the shape of babies' skulls over time. Newborn babies' skulls are soft plates with spaces between them. Helmet therapy uses a custom helmet to support the baby’s head while they sleep. The therapy softens the plates and closes the spaces between them, helping the skull grow correctly.

Helmet therapy is a non-invasive treatment to correct the shape of babies’ heads and is a proven treatment for plagiocephaly and positional plagiocephaly. It is simpler, safer, and more effective than traditional treatments, such as repositioning and specialized exercises.
