 plagiocephaly in infants. 40 participants will receive a protocol of Pediatric Manual Therapy

 therapy have the better level of evidence among other treatments.

 A protocol of ten sessions of Pediatric Manual Therapy will be applied to infants with
 positional plagiocephaly in combination with educational physiotherapy. The protocol consists
 in soft cervical mobilisation, myofascial induction and the application of some pressures to
 the cranial bones to improve the asymmetry of the head. Educational therapy which consists in
