re: Treatment of spasmodic torticollis in primary segmental dystonia
Yes I had a patient who received Botox for spasmodic torticollis with very good results. this was quite a number of years ago when Botox was first trialled for dystonia. I am not aware of any literature with regard to physio and Botox. This particular patient did not receive physio after the injections but she visited to show me the results and they were significant.

Suggest you try the book "Handbook of Botulinum Toxin treatment" ed Peter Moore (1995) pub Blackwell Science (Oxford)
Has a whole chapter on spasmodic torticollis (and a lovely picture on the front cover of injecting the sternocleidomastoid) Daniel Yates
