What Is The Best Treatment For Torticollis?

Hello Dr. My daugther is 6 months old, she is detected with a mild torticolis on the right side. She can move her neck easily to both left and right direction, only when you pick her up straight with her face towards us, you can note the slight tilt of her neck towards the right side. She can roll on her back, she can fall on her stomach, only thing is she is slightly floppy, she does not hold herself on her stomach for a long time and we feel she does not give same balance to both her elbows, specially right. We are giving her some physiotherapy which is very very painful for her, infact the physio stretches are so bad that her skin has peeled off and she bled slightly, we are a bit concerned of what will be the best treatment for her.
