“We are absolutely delighted with how the STARband treatment has reshaped Toby’s head. Instead of having a flat head for life, it has rounded out beautifully and now has a very normal shape. He wore his STARband for longer than most babies, but it was a really short time in comparison with a lifetime of problems that he might have had if he hadn't received the treatment at all. The printout from the STARscanner, of Toby's head before and after treatment, and the photos we have, are fantastic proof that this treatment works wonders.”

“Scott's forehead was bulging on one side, his ears were misaligned and his head was 'out' by 21mm. Since Scott has finished treatment, everyone comments on the difference the helmet has made to the shape of his head. We are thrilled with the results; his ears are back in line, his head is a more normal shape and the bulging to the front has gone. We had brilliant support from our orthotist and are delighted with the outcome.”

“We noticed Matthew's head shape was not quite right from a very early age and, after going to the doctor, assumed it would rectify itself, as they said it would just grow out. Then we read a magazine article that told the story of a baby with plagiocephaly; something we had never heard of. We decided to make an appointment at the Leeds centre. Matthew was measured at 17mm plagiocephaly and 103% brachycephaly - both severe. Steve Mottram answered all our questions and queries and put our minds at rest about the treatment. The procedure for making the helmet was quick and pain free - a specially made scanner which took just seconds and caused no discomfort to Matthew. The 3D images of his head were amazing to see. These measurements were then used to custom-make his STARband, with the design of our choice. We found Steve very approachable and were reassured we could ring him if we had any worries or problems in between our reviews. We always felt that he had Matthew's best interests at heart.

“Matthew adapted very quickly to the STARband and his results have far exceeded our expectations. People who know Matthew and have seen him before and after cannot believe the difference this treatment has made in such a short space of time. Matthew was in the STARband helmet for just 14 weeks. I would urge any parent who is worried, or wants to help their baby, to make an appointment with the STARband centre for a consultation."

“We noticed how bad Jemma's head looked at eight weeks old. Our health visitor referred us to a physiotherapist at the local hospital, who told us that Jemma's head shape was quite severe. She knew about the STARband and put us in touch.

“Jemma's measurements in the STARscanner were 24mm. The scanner was great and Jemma didn’t even know she was in it; better than a casting. She achieved great results with the STARband within just two weeks, which really spurred us on. Jemma finished her treatment three months later and visually her head was nearly perfect.

“Her head even continued to improve after she had graduated and her facial asymmetry improved 100% too. All throughout the treatment, Steve Mottram was kind and courteous and very patient, even calling us several times over Christmas.

“Overall, Jemma’s results were astonishing. We’re glad we did this for Jemma and we have never looked back. I would encourage anyone in the same position as us to do the same. The STARband is a great invention.”

“People used to look at Aidan’s head as if he was a freak and say, “Ah, what a shame”. That was really hard for us and so we were glad to find out that the STARband could help him. The treatment has been amazing; we feel extremely happy with it. Steve Mottram was fantastic. He gave excellent advice and was always available to give support and answer any questions we had, no matter how stupid we felt they were. The technology used in the treatment is fantastic - the STARscanner was out of this world and we couldn’t believe the images we saw. We can now see a huge difference in Aidan’s head and everyone has commented on how it now looks normal.“

“We are extremely pleased with Demi's final head shape. The results have been beyond our expectations. We really could not be happier. We would recommend the STARband treatment to anyone whose baby has plagiocephaly. It only took three months, and was incredibly effective.”

Sharon Sammon and Michael Psaila, Rochdale, Lancashire.

“None of our family and friends had heard of plagio, let alone the STARband, and when they saw the helmet said it wasn’t what they expected. The improvement after just two weeks was astonishing. We were happy after just two weeks, and on completion we were ecstatic. It is fantastic and totally incredible that eleven weeks can do this.”
