The Original Neck Hammock Neck Stretcher - Cervical Traction Device for Neck Decompression - Portable Device for Neck Tension Relief

this is a well made product and if you're suffering from the cervical collar and compressed spine issues, this will work. I've got a slightly different issue apparently this time around, and that's why I only gave it 4 starts on pain relief, but that's not due to the product. It will stretch your neck muscles and provide relief down the spineFor traction, lie in the unit and scooch out to stretch the spine as needed, this product will allow you to do that and pull pressure off of those vertebrae while keeping your head level and cradled in the unit.It's a professional product and very comfortable and thoughtfully designed. For example, it has built in cushions that cradle your head, near your ears.Wraps easily around a door knob on the opposite of side of a door, and they provided good bungy chord length.Excellent product. Glad to have it.

I was in a car accident a few months ago and have a couple of injured discs. This thing is so amazing in helping release tension and relax

Amazing product. I’ve been injured for 6 years & new discoveries by my PM Dr. I was asked to check this product out. Nothing has worked thus far including multiple surgeries, procedures as well as epidurals. So far week two and I feel a change hoping for a positive one in a few months. I’d recommend this product.

The product arrived in less than 24 hours!I've been using a home made neck traction device suggested by my physical therapist (a sling made from a towel and a Thera-band) for a couple of years and with some padding it has been helpful. I was so hoping that this one, designed by a PT would function even better but I'm having trouble getting it to work. Some problems so far: the foam padding presses really hard on my cheeks, to the point of pain. Also, where I could get what I felt was "just the right stretch" with my home-made sling, I'm still struggling finding the "sweet spot" with this one. There's the pressure on my cheeks and not finding the "ahhhh" position no matter the height or angle of this device.If I can get some help with my concerns, I'm prepared to like/love it and will send another review. If not, I might have to return it.

The media could not be loaded. If you return this item or do not like it, honestly it’s all because you don’t know what you’re doing with it! This is the best purchase ever and I’ve actually got two of them! The biggest trick is to figure out how the heck to tie it to something!I will give you the best tip ever if you don’t have a giant wrought iron bed like I do then here’s a good tip. I actually strap mine to one of my exercise bikes and lay on the floor on my yoga mat and just keep pulling my body backwards.! it doesn’t really work as well on door knobs because it just seems too high I think and I don’t really have a door knob besides my front door that would hang onto it.The padding is awesome as long as you have figured out where it needs to go on your head and then you tighten the strap in the middle to help hang onto your head while you’re pulling.I have a different brand that hangs over the door, but hurts my face so badly just like all of them and this is the only one that will not hurt your face!I’m putting an example for all of you people that don’t have good reviews or have actually returned this.The photo that I’m attaching is probably not the best equipment because if I put it up higher, the whole thing will come and smash down on my face so it better be something that’s not going to tip over on your face! I only weigh 115 so the placement of this is really not going to pull down this equipment.I have pets so I don’t like cat hair on anything so I put it back in it’s little bag after I’m done each time.. . Just remember when you get it on, just keep slowly scooting your body the other direction and I can feel it all the way down my spine this way. If I had a person to be able to pull it, it would be nice as well, but this works perfectly.!!!! I can also have it in a convenient place and I will be taking it to the Physical Therapy I have to go to because another Physical Therapy is the one that suggested this.!!!!!Hope this all helps everyone and I was utterly shocked when I saw returns because I’ve had my other one for over a year and it still works great!Honestly, the manufacturing should give some more examples so this is not a returned item because I don’t know why the heck you would ever return this thing!!!!!

The media could not be loaded. Who do we contact about pain and suffering?It worked for literally 3 tries. Then while my fiancé put his neck on it, it snapped, whacked him on top of the head. Upon inspection, there is 1 small tiny SINGLE stitch holding this together underneath the not tight plastic sleeve over that piece.I should have checked the quality…now he is upset because he has a migraine and his heads killing him.This really? For that type of elastic?!

I never write reviews but I have to about this. I am so grateful, I finally am getting some relief in my neck pain. The first day I used it I laid in it for 15 minutes and that night noticed my shoulder tension (which is a lifelong battle to manage) gone. Completely gone. My mom used to joke that she could bounce quarters off my traps because they were so tight and they actually relaxed. My neck pain that's usually around my C2 to C4? Gone. I used to get put in traction at the chiropractor but I can't afford to go anymore. I am so happy I got this I could cry. My migraines have decreased in frequency, my upper back pain and neck pain is managed by taking some "me" time to lay down, and I can feel it starting to slowly help stretch throughout my spine with repeated use. I love that you adjust the tension by how far away from the door/wall you lay. It's a no brainer to set up, and they didn't short change you on the inner padding. Three huge foam pads hug your head gently. As I said at the beginning of this, I've never written a review before. I had to for this, it's the best choice I've ever made to help manage my neck pain and my migraines. I can't sing this company's praises enough.
