Neck and Shoulder Relaxer with Upper Back Massage Point, Cervical Traction Device Neck Stretcher for TMJ Pain Relief and Cervical Spine Alignment Chiropractic Pillow (Blue)

At nearly $40 dollars, and the split reviews, this was one of the biggest gambles I've made on a purchase so far this year- but I am glad I did. I have both Osteo and Rheumatoid arthritis, spinal stenosis, cervical spondylosis, bone spurs, Fibromyalgia, Hypermobile EDS, as well as polyneuropathy - which all play into my neck and back pains/strains and spasms. I have a near-constant pain in my rhomboid muscle (just between my shoulder blade and spine) that I can never get rid of (despite my SO never giving up on trying to rub it out) & the first time I used this traction mat, I was able to apply the right pressure to the right spot, WHILE aligning my neck and back. I place a padded yoga mat, at the foot of my chase lounger, with a low back/lumbar pillow on the yoga mat. Sit on the floor and place my feet up (elevated) onto the lounger, hold this traction mat in place behind my neck, and slowly lean back until I'm laying flat over the lumbar pillow with the traction mat aligned correctly along my upper back, spine and neck. After a minute or so of letting my muscles "settle" around the massage nodules, I hold my palms face up, at shoulder height and "wax-on, wax-off" slow circles, to gently need the rhombus and trapezius muscled (a stretch shown to me by my masseuse). Then slowly, fully extend my arms out laterally, bring my right arm all the way to the left side, then back. Repeat with the left arm. Then cross both arms over my chest and slowly til my shoulders forward. back and side to side. A stretch shown to me by my chiropractor. This also helped me greatly in preventing an ocular migraine. I get severe, recurring and utterly debilitating ocular migraines that no medication has been able to help with (& I've tried them all, even up to Botox for migraines). I had one start up a few days after getting this traction mat, laid it out, and rubbed the "knots" on the back of my head all over the massage nodules, back and forth over and over for what I can only honestly refer to as the best migraine relief I have yet to find. It allowed me to be pain-free enough to fall asleep and hide from the remnants of the migraine- thus escaping the light/sound sensitivity that would have inevitably followed. Would definitely recommend. One of the best-buys I've made this year. Thank you for such a simple. yet amazingly effective product.

I tend to get tight muscles in my neck and shoulders. It often turns into a knot that strains muscles and limits my arm rotation. I found that this product works great on applying pressure to the knot and releasing that tension. I use it on a hard surface like the floor for best results. Just relaxing and taking deep breaths, using the weight of my body to sink into the nodules. 5 to 10 minutes does the trick usually. The first day I use it 3x a day then just decreasing in the days to follow. 3-5 days usually does the trick.

Good for your cervical and upper back area. Not too hard and not too soft. Excellent quality and good thickness and support. My husband and I use this multiple times a day. Get it! Such an amazing value as well!

Not very comfortable because it is a little to large and tough to lay on

My only negative is that this thing doesn't come in patterns and better colors. Otherwise, I use it multiple days per week. Sometimes I prop it up on my pillows to give my neck better support while watching TV. Honestly, this was a purchase I'll never regret. I don't know why heat is one of the categories for this cervical product. There are no batteries or plugs. I think it's hard foam, but it doesn't make you overheat like with foam pillows. The nodes that's stick out actually do help workr knots in your back. Everyone is a different size so you might have to move around on it a bit to work out the kinks.

I have had progressively worsening neck, shoulder and arm pain, across my back and down both arms for almost 8 years. A chiropractor recommended this type of product about 6 years ago, claiming that judicious use would help improve my situation and that I could eventually be able to avoid surgery. I was motivated to do my best. Fast forward, after 2 other chiropractors and countless hours of therapy, massages, and devices, there is no improvement. In fact my situation has deteriorated to the point of no return. Surgery is inevitable because now there is bruising on my spinal cord. And now, I'm not a candidate for disc replacement, because my situation has so significantly degraded. This device was so painful to use, I just knew something was wrong. The only good thing about it was that it caused me to give up and go to a real doctor. See a neurologist or a good neurosurgeon before you subscribe to anything a chiropractor tells you. It will save you time, money, pain and possibly your whole quality of life. Give yourself options.

I really like this product. It's lightweight and easy to use. The foam is much softer than others so it stays very comfortable for a lot longer and doesn't get painful. There are no big neck bumps but a wonderful large cervical curve. I prefer this as it gives your neck a full stretch and it's fully supported. The lobster looking one doesn't give full neck support and the big bumps make my neck go numb. It's a lot cheaper than other products too. I really like this product and recommend it.

I bought this mainly for the neck stretch and massage points. Turns out it’s the least of the good part. The pressure “balls” on this are absolutely perfect and exactly where my chiropractor hits when doing adjustments. Moving your arms in different positions work the nodules out and it feels amazing! The neck part is just ok.. it doesn’t really stretch anything and the two neck supports are far apart so it doesn’t massage or place pressure like the rest of it does, it’s not bad, just not great for the neck. But totally totally worth the money for the back!!

Parfait utilisé en synergie avec mon arche pour le dos et ma roue de yoga. Relaxe bien les muscles du haut du corps. Il faut faire use de patience car par moment on aimerait vraiment que les picots soient plus haut et plus fins, qu'il y en ait plus..pour bien rentrer dans les muscles 😅 , mais en restant assez longtemps et même peut-être de temps en temps en relevant et rabaissant les épaules, puis les bras, puis les jambes tour à tour, on obtient des résultats satisfaisants.

Prodotto suggerito tra Amazon e acquistato in offerta. Devo dire che è stato un ottimo acquisto davvero, lo uso ogni giorno, dieci minuti mattina e sera. I risultati si vedono, spalle più aperte, collo dritto e mi sento meno ingobbita. Inoltre evita la formazione di contratture. Ovviamente non fa miracoli, bisogna fare anche un minimo di ginnastica rilassante ogni tanto ma devo dire che è un validissimo aiuto. Consigliato!

Se usó correctamente el tiempo q estipuló el dr

Encantada! El primer día me dolía un poco y solo estuve unos pocos minutos, pero al levantarme noté ya la relajación de la zona cervical y hombros. Desde entonces voy aumentando el tiempo y estoy contentísima. Tengo muchos problemas de espalda y cervicales y me está ayudando muchísimo a descargar tensiones, colocar todo en sitio y mejorar mi postura. Muy buen producto, muy sencillo y muy eficaz.

Problèmes de contactions musculaires en haut du dos entraînant des maux de tête particulièrement intenses, je cherchais quelque chose pour me "masser" moi-même les épaules et la nuque. Ce bidule bleu est apparu dans les résultats de recherche et j'ai décidé de le tester. De mon point de vue, l'esthétique est un ratage complet, ce bleu évoque plus le jouet de piscine que le soin "bien être". D'autant que la forme evoque une tête de crocodile. Bref. C'est du plastique ni rigide ni mou, la texture est bien visible dans la vidéo, ce qui n'est donc pas douloureux tout en offrant une résistance sous la nuque et le dos. Je viens de le recevoir, difficile de vous dire en 24h si le résultat attendu est au rdv. Je reviendrai donc augmenter ce commentaire. Joyeux achats !
