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

BE PATIENT - IT’S WORTH IT! WORKS!!! I absolutely LOVE this thing. I have cervical bone spurs, and cervical disc bulge at C3-C4, pressing on nerves that run down to my right hand, and incredibly tight neck muscles and traps. During the pandemic lockdown my pain and numbness was the worst. I was working a stressful job and getting little sleep. My right arm was weaker than the left, and my right hand would be numb for 30 minutes after waking up each morning. I was scared. The MRI showed the physical issues above; the doctor recommended a steroid shot and said I may need surgery one day. I put off the steroid shot, figuring I should try physical therapy first. I also completed my contract, got a less stressful job, and started sleeping more. I tried stretched but they were painful, and sometimes seem to make things worse. I don’t think I was doing them right. But when I started using this device, I couldn’t BELIEVE how effective it was. Every time I use this regularly, it’s like I’m buying myself days or weeks of pain relief. AND extra mobility— I can twist to look behind when backing up my car without stabbing pain now. IMPORTANT TIP: when I first got it, it hurt a lot to relax my neck in that position. My neck was so tight it felt like it was made of hot piano wires that were about to explode. No joke. So I would only stretch on the floor with it for 30 seconds, twice a day. Then I gradually increased to a minute, once or twice a day. Another review here helped - it suggested to breathe slow and deep, gentling letting go, let gravity do the work, as you are able to tolerate it. Eventually I would put headphones in, choose one relaxing song that was about three minutes long, and use that as my timer. I’ve been using it for about 6 months now, and my necks so much better that I only need it 1-2x per week now, for about 3 minutes. I’m almost convinced that all I needed was gentle, gradual, decompression, not surgery and steroid shots. Anyway, time will tell. For now, I’m sticking to this routine, and recommend it to anyone with neck and upper back pain. Thank you for making this stretcher!!

I have a birth defect reducing range of motion in my neck and have constant discomfort. I see a chiropractor and feel better for days after going. I got this hoping to manage my pain when I can’t get to the chiropractor. I’m shocked at the results. I have only used the gentle side so far for 2-3 minutes at a time. I get hours of relief and I’m floored! Best $20 I’ve ever spent.

I was hesitant to buy based on some reviews that said that it hurt her neck. I also thought it could be just another stupid thing I don't end up using. However, I found that it does help my neck. I am a petite woman and the device still works, just don't rest on it longer than 5 minutes.

At first I'll admit, I was skeptical. But I was also desperate, so I gave it a shot. And so I began using it, following the instructions carefully. Initially I found it horrible - laying on it was uncomfortable, and sitting up was disorienting. I'd immediately get dizzy, and although the muscles in my neck would feel more relaxed, it would take me a few minutes to regain my bearings. However, after continued (if apprehensive) use for about a week, the dizziness stopped and my neck continued to feel better and better. I've even felt my neck "click" while I'm laying on this thing. It's sturdy and easy to use, and has become part of my nightly routine!

I purchased this device about two months ago to correct my posture, which was contributing to problems with my shoulder. Initially I found it very helpful. It was comfortable to use and I noticed improvement in my posture. However, about a month ago I stayed on it for a longer period of time, probably around 10-15". Since then I have been experiencing an increasing level of vertigo, to the point where I cannot walk without holding onto something or someone. After contacting a family member who is a chiropractor, I learned that this is due to a shift in the crystals in the ear canal and is correctable by using the "Epley maneuver." Hopefully that is the case. She also said that this device should only be used by someone who is receiving regular chiropractic adjustments. FOLLOW UP: I posted the above review on 9/4/23. The following day I was contacted by the seller apologizing for the difficulty I experienced and offering me a full refund. I was quite impressed by the professionalism of the seller in reaching out to me and offering a refund, which I had not even requested. However, I chose not to accept the offer because my problem occurred as the result of not using the product correctly per the instructions. My husband assisted me in performing the Epley Maneuver (we watched a YouTube video) and my vertigo rapidly improved. Once I resume chiropractic treament, I plan to beginning using this product again according to the recommended guidelines, as I was truly beginning to see benefits.

My daughter told me about this and i didn’t expect it to work, but it is unbelievable. Just 5 -10 minutes provides such relief from neck strain. Like a yoga workout.

The big question on everyones mind is obviously, will this cure me? Well, that answer is going to depend. I have had it now for 30 days. For myself, I have 2 herniations at C4 and C5, as well as a growth spur between C4 and C5. The spur has been there since birth, and in such, I have never known what its like not to be in pain in my neck. So for that question, will it cure me?, the answer is NO. But!, that does not mean it does not help. If you are like myself and find your neck tightens to the point where you can’t “crack it” (which for those who do not know, the most recent medical discovery for that “crack” is just air molecules being released from the muscles. Not “bone” movement). For the unable to crack scenario, this DOES help. The way I have used it is by first using the “traction” side (the one without the bubbles). I have to use mine while being on an incline like a wedge pillow. I did not get the specific pressure needed when laying flat. Using that side for about 10 minutes, with stretching of the arms backwards; I found that my neck would crack on its own. Then I would switch it over to the bubble side. That seems to work on the lower neck muscles. I read that people have found it “painful”. I think that is probably a case by case basis and tolerance for pain. As I said, I am already used to the pain so I kind of “enjoy” the pressure that allows for the escape of the air that is causing the extra tightness. As I have been typing this, I have been on the “traction” side and my neck has cracked on its own about 5 times. Another thing I have found is that I have not had to do the extreme forced neck twist to get it to crack. It does move a bit easier to get that deep relief crack from the pressure buildup. So in short; if you are like me and have a medical condition that can never be repaired. And your neck is always going to get tense because of the pressure build. Then this device will definitely help you control it. It won’t cure you, but it has made life easier. For the rest of you with transient pain…. Well, congratulations on being normal. It must be nice, so good for you.

This product started off feeling okay for the first couple of seconds, but after that it quickly became uncomfortable to wear. Instead of providing relief, it actually starts to hurt the longer it is on, which defeats the whole purpose. I was also a bit misled by ads for similar products online that made it seem like this would provide noticeable neck relief. Unfortunately, that was not the case for me. I barely felt any improvement, and it did not deliver the kind of results I was expecting. Overall, this was a disappointing purchase. It might work differently for others, but in my experience it was uncomfortable and did not provide much benefit. Edit: Seller reached out post me writing this review and sent me proper instructions on how to use the product, as well as a full refund without having to return anything! I have followed the steps they gave and while yes it did help a bit, I still found the product not to be for me. I will attach exactly what they said on how to use it incase anyone else feels as if they may be using the product wrong: 1. Find a quiet place where you can lay down or sit back for about 10 minutes. This can be on a bed, sofa, floor or recliner. 2. Locate the neck support of the device around the middle of your neck. Start with gentle traction ( convex side toward your head).. Gently reposition on the device, up or down along your spine to locate the most comfortable position for your neck. 3. Bent your knees, put your hand beside your head. 4. Once comfortable, allow your neck to settle further into the support. Taking slow deep breaths helps to relax. 5. If lying on your back, your eyes should be looking straight up towards the ceiling. If reclining, your head should be in the same position relative to your back. 6. Once comfortable, allow your neck to settle further into the support. Taking slow deep breaths helps to relax. 7. Take notice of how the support is reinforcing your posture. You may observe at this point that you are releasing tension. 8. You may notice your neck, traps and shoulder muscles relax further and your posture become more aligned. 9. Like any new exercise, start off slowly, Use the gentle support level for 5 minutes then reassess whether or not you can use it for an additional 5 minutes. Progress gradually as you are comfortable. 10. If you feel you can use more neck support, use the strong traction side ( concave side toward your head). 11. NOTE: At first, you may feel slight discomfort as your muscles and joints adjust to their new positions. If you feel pain, discontinue using device and consult with your healthcare professional. They also suggested a more gentle and softer version of this pillow, maybe its worth looking into!

This is a wonderful product. It worked well for my neck pain. The product quality is good and long lasting.

I gave this a go as I had been struggling with neck and upper back pain. At first it feels very large on the back of your neck but stick with it, once you fully relax your head, neck and shoulders it feels so good. Too good in fact. The instructions state that it should be used for around 10-15 minutes then removed, but honestly I almost fell asleep. I found it more comfortable than my pillow. I would sleep on this but the warnings say not to. Regardless, it's great for stretching out your neck and provides much needed relief.

Very good for my neck

Es una maravilla, desde el primer uso sientes una mejoría asombrosa, el descanso es impresionante. Durante su uso las primeras veces pueden ser incómodas pero al retirarlo puedes percibir una mejoría extraordinaria. Estoy verdaderamente contenta con esta compra. Lo recomiendo altamente, el material súper resistente, no es plástico rígido del que se rompe, se puede limpiar con facilidad. Me cambio la vida!

El producto me gustó bastante. Realmente te ayuda a relajar las cervicales del cuello, pero recuerden que es sólo para un breve uso. Eviten usarlo por tiempos prolongados, no es para dormir ni es ningún tipo de almohada. Relaja bastante y el material se siente resistente y de gran calidad.
