A member asked:
What sort of physical therapy will i need after the halo is removed and my c2 bone is healed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Typically after halo removal, we work on strengthening the muscles that support the head which are oftened weakened after a halo. We will usually start with isometric strenghening in which there is no movement of the head and then proceed to isotonic strengthening of the neck muscles. Your doctor should be able to guide you with the appropriate pt program.
