StrongTek Cervical Orthotic Neck Stretcher for Head, Shoulder, and Spine Alignment, Cervical Traction Block for Physical Therapy and TMJ Pain Relief, Neck and Shoulder Relaxer

I don't often review on Amazon but this device has been amazing for my protruding disc. I have been suffering for over a year with cervical radiculopathy from a c5 c6 disc protrusion. This device gives instant relief to the symptoms. I have used it slightly different than advised. I have found if you lay on your back with knees bent at 90, place the device base of skull it so it hooks the occipital area, then lower legs flat. Lowering the legs stretches body provides enough traction to pull gently on neck.

I'm sorry to say but the people critisising this item for it's small size, must be using it very incorrectly. It is for your NECK. Unless these people have massive necks, I don't understand why they think this is a child's size. Children don't tend to have things like even made for them. There is even a video on the item page showing you how to use it - with an adult human female! It relieves so much pressure in my neck, and along with stretches and foam rolling, is going to be a good piece of kit for me in my neck-hump reversal. Please don't be put off by the reviews written by people who haven't got a clue what they're doing.

Good but I’ve use better ones with pressure points

My chiropractor recommended this for me to use at home between adjustments. I find it works for me and members of my family who have tried it. I use it for 10 minutes every day. This improves my posture and circulation, really de-compresses my neck and shoulders and I feel more comfortable.

Rather small, only used it for one exercise session and not helpful. The additional pad waste of time so I purchased a more useful model.

Zip broke as soon as opened had a try but made neck worse. Very uncomfortable. Sent back and money received very quickly

Too small. Does not actually reach my neck when lying on it.

Only recommended for shirt periods of time

Very hard making neck more uncomfortable and pain.

All good

Been playing around for years on how to relax during yoga while stretching my neck. Have never been able to get it right. Either too small a roller or too big or too much pressure on my cervical. I used this device once and found it very effective. Having the small curve in the foam toward your shoulders is more comfortable than away. Using the extra pad is for advanced use only, sets you neck maximum height. I even used it to roll my knees to the left and right during a yoga stretch. It was a good feeling having the single device to support my neck while stretching my hips in a flat,prone position only. I would recommend taking the device to yoga practice to help with different stretches that involve the flat,prone position. This helps me to take the strain off my neck so I can relax my body parts that focus on the particular stretch the Yogi is putting us through. I would only use the extra pad in a immobile flat prone position, very intense. I realize this device is simple and cheap as far as how it's made but the Dr designed it well. I put my Ma roller back in the closet too extreme for my neck.

Love this necklace device. It’s a great stretch for the cervical vertebrae.

Love it.
