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

OMG this is wonderful for neck pain. 10 minutes stretch and you feel great!!

This neck and shoulder relaxer has been a helpful addition to my routine for easing tension. The contoured design really cradles the neck, and I definitely feel a stretch and release in my upper back and neck muscles after using it for about 10-15 minutes. It's quite firm, which I personally like for getting a good stretch, but it might be too intense for some, especially when first starting out.I've noticed a subtle improvement in my TMJ-related discomfort and a general feeling of better alignment in my cervical spine. It's not a miracle cure, but it's a noticeable aid, especially after long days of sitting at a computer.The material seems durable enough, and the dark blue color is nice and doesn't show dirt easily. It's also lightweight and easy to store.Overall, for the price, this is a solid tool for at-home neck and shoulder relief. Just be prepared for the firmness and maybe start with shorter sessions to get used to it. It's a good step up from just stretching alone.

I can't say enough good about this pillow. I have suffered with neck pain for years due to ruptured discs. This is the only thing I have found that relieves the constant pressure I feel on the back of my head. I experimented with how far back to put my head and once I found the right spot, the pain relief was immediate. It also helps me go to sleep faster due to the immediate pain/pressure relief. It makes my body relax. It's recommended to not lay on it more than 15 minutes at a time. I would agree as I have fallen to sleep while using it and woke up with my head numb (weird feeling!). My son likes to use it on his back. This thing works better than all the chiropractors, therapists and doctors I have seen.....and it's much cheaper!

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.

This has been so helpful for my neck pain. I sit most of the work day at a computer and get neck strain. 10 minutes of stretching on the morning and at night set me right.
