Headmaster Collars - offers secure support and exceptional head control. Hand crafted using only superior quality materials. For three decades, this collar has helped thousands have a better quality of life. Ideal for arthritic conditions, like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, damage to neck muscles from radiation therapy, whiplash as well as similar conditions requiring head and neck support which does not completely restrain movement. Recommended by Doctors and Therapists, it was specifically designed for providing safety and comforting support for the head and neck. Only a qualified professional should fit this collar to the client. Ensure correct size has been selected. Do not attach this collar to any other equipment or support! Employs a spring steel core, which allows for shaping (and re-shaping, and re-shaping…), and also allows a certain amount of “bounce” or “spring”” to the formed shape without deforming. So once the collar is shaped appropriately, there will be that little bit of spring back action which is part of what makes it more comfortable to wear while eating or speaking. The Headmaster Cervical Collar will easily support the weight of the head without deforming. However if the wearer has muscle spasms or contractions that pull their chin strongly down to their chest – this can deform the collar. In this case we recommend the use of the Anterior Support (sold separately), which essentially makes the collar rigid.
