RESTCLOUD Neck and Shoulder Relaxer, Cervical Traction Device for TMJ Pain Relief and Cervical Spine Alignment, Chiropractic Pillow Neck Stretcher (Blue)

Not exactly what I was hoping for, but it does a better job of the little pillow I was trying to use before getting this. I like to use it in the morning and sometimes before bed. It gives a good little stretch and helps if you have curvature issues in your neck.

Update: I promised to update, so here I am. MRIs show herniated discs in the neck. Neurosurgeon and rheumatologist gave this item the okay, though they didnt ask me much about it aside from looking at it. They didnt tell me to Stop using it, so I continue to do so when I can carve out the time. And isnt that really the issue? Finding a scant 10 minutes to give our bodies whats needed is somehow difficult when I can carve out 10 minutes to update a review. Priorities are out of whack, but Im helping others so theres that as a positive. No ridiculopathy after all, but the rest is still accurate. The biggest issue I have with this is that my head will Not stay 2.5 off the ground no matter how I try. I might mention that I Could have hypermobile Ehlers Danlos - having a tough time getting someone to assess for it. That just means Im extra flexible in useless places (elbows, neck, thumbs, pinkies), and my joints are looser than they should be. As such, my head is about 1 finger width off the ground when Im using this. Original: Ive had neck and shoulder issues since the age of 25. No accidents, just chose poorly from my gene pool. Arthritis, stenosis, spondylosis, ridiculopathy, thoracic outlet syndrome (had MRIs yesterday on 4 areas for the diagnosis of the last one - will correct if its something else - and to get the lay of the land with the rest), disc degeneration . . . I think thats everything. I just did my 10 minutes and Man did that hurt my arms, yikes! I can take a lot of pain of varying sorts, but the stretching variety I dont tolerate well. My fingers started doing all sorts of weird twitching and dancing so I released some of the tension by lowering my arms from a football field post configuration to more of a W kind of position. That was Intense! I have been assigned the stand with your back to the wall and slowly raise your arms as youre pressing them against the wall, exercise, and that is highly uncomfortable as well. With time it should get better. Having described the arm discomfort (to severely understate, ha!), my neck does feel better. I still have the sensation of my muscles being tie downs for my jaw, but it did release a little. Ill take it after nearly 25 years of pain! A little is a lot when you live with this day in and day out. For comparison, I have an inversion table. I feel more relief from this than I do my inversion table, and at 5% of the cost its an Excellent place to start. The inversion table does help with the rest of my spine, but the neck and shoulders are where I have the most tightness and trouble. If I reach under my car seat wrong, I wont be able to move my head more than an inch for three weeks. Ill do my best to return after a couple weeks of using this for an update. I tend to forget to use things if I start feeling better so no news is good news! PS: I got the blue sea monster variety.

I’m in my 50s and it has helped me neck so much!

You have to do this consistently to get the desire results. It definitely helps with stretching your back and improving your posture. The downside is it can activate headaches. Im hoping the headaches will subside the more I use it and the more my back and neck get stretched.

I work on a computer all day and I carry all of my tension and stress in my neck. I have tried so many different things to relieve the tension, but the only thing that ever made a difference was manual massage (which is expensive and inconvenient) until I found this. This helps take the tension off my neck immediately and has even helped relieve headaches. I really didn’t expect this to work as well as it does.

Very easy to use, with great results. Sore after the first time due to so much neck tension but has eased with each use.

It can be very uncomfortable, so suggest use it a little at time. It definitely has helped

I love this little gadget. Ive had severe neck pain for many years. With advanced age, its gotten worse but I will do all I can to avoid surgery. Well, let me tell you...I can lie down on the floor on this thing for just 3-4 minutes and notice a GIGANTIC improvement in pain level. This thing has now become part of my living room decor since it never leaves its spot on the floor. I use it almost every day and sometimes twice a day. Over the years, Ive bought all sorts of massagers, cervical pillows, ice packs...whatever I could find that **might** provide relief. This silly-looking thing is the best. Well worth the money!!

I originally got this because I’m starting to get a dowagers hump and I wanted to correct it. So far, no improvements there sadly. I do think it helps with neck tension and pain though, so it has its purpose.

Amazing…. First use only took ten mins and my neck feels incredible. Totally reset. I wish I knew about this thing sooner.
