Meet Theda - Pasadena Clinician

When it comes to Cranial Technologies’ clinicians and managing clinicians, it is crucial that they are able to not only properly treat plagiocephaly using the DOC Band, but also really work with our young growing patients. This is why almost all of our clinicians are physical or occupational therapists.

Theda brought a background in pediatric OT when she joined Pasadena’s team. Her career as a clinician there has provided a new avenue for working in a specialized OT environment where she can not only offer plagiocephaly treatment, but also monitor developmental milestones, especially in regard to torticollis. Preparing for this enhanced role in children’s lives through CranialTech’s extensive clinician training program has offered her additional knowledge and increased her OT skills.  

For Theda, two of CranialTech’s standout qualities are the company’s continued commitment to research and development, in addition to the nationwide team feeling.

 

What does your job entail? 

My day consists of evaluating head shapes and meeting with families. Part of the day I am meeting with parents and their babies to evaluate their head shape and the rest of the day I’m either adjusting or fitting their DOC Bands. I am able to use all different senses (i.e., tactile and visual) to aid in looking at the progression of each child’s head shape.

 

What is rewarding about it your job?

I love the fact that changes can be seen in a relatively short amount of time and parents are grateful for our help during a difficult situation. I also love seeing the happy faces of parents and children when they finish treatment. We’ve truly made an impact and “re-shaped” their lives—and that’s why I’m here.

 

Why would you recommend CranialTech as an employer?

Cranial Technologies is the leader of their field. This is a very unique avenue where you can tie your skills as a therapist and really learn outside the box. I’ve enjoyed working for this company because they have advanced my skills as a therapist and broadened my base of knowledge as an OT.
