About The Neck Hammock
Tension in the neck is a widespread problem as a common place for stress to manifest and for those who work at a desk or sit for most of the day. Neck pain contributes to tension headaches, shoulder tension, increased stress, poor posture, expensive physiotherapy, the inability to relax, and poor sleep.
Common remedies include medication that may dull the pain without addressing the underlying issue or expensive physical therapy sessions that do not always work. Utilizing cervical traction, the Neck Hammock is a portable and easy to use instrumental for alleviating neck pain and its associated discomforts.
Dr. Steve Sudell, a physical therapist who deals with neck pain on a daily basis with his clients, developed this product after trying all the popular methods for dealing with tension. He found that cervical traction is typically the most successful route for relieving pain but that most home-based traction equipment was bulky, expensive, or ineffective.
Cervical traction works by caressing the head and neck in a slightly elevated position above the shoulders. By allowing the muscles to relax and gradually stretch, the space between the spine’s vertebrae expands for increased delivery of nutrients and blood flow. Enhanced oxygen delivery aids in nourishing and healing tendons, ligaments, muscles, and nerves for better mobility and decreased pain.
With this method, not only is tension melted away for improved comfort, but pinched nerves and bulging discs are alleviated and overall pressure is relieved.
The Neck Hammock is an affordable and comfortable product with a lightweight and compact design for use when traveling.
How Does This Hammock Work?
Designed for easy use, this product requires only a door or rail to function properly. Simply wrap the fabric hook around the back handle, that which is hidden from view, of a closed door, so that the leash passes between the door and the doorjamb. If using a rail or pole, wrap the fabric around something parallel to the floor.
Then lay on the ground, keeping the body straight and the back against the floor with the head and neck cradled by the hammock. Benefits can be felt with just 10 minutes of use per day.
Due to convenient use and a small time requirement, it is more realistic for users to utilize cervical traction consistently for noticeable benefits.
Many professional athletes have already tested The Neck Hammock and most report immediately relief and increased feelings of relaxation. Other test subjects have found it so comfortable that they have fallen asleep while using it.
