It’s a highly effective method of gently pulling the head away from the neck to relieve neck pain for individuals suffering from arthritis, herniated and/or bulging discs, cervical muscle strains and spasms.

Cervical traction accomplishes three things:

1. The muscles along the spinal cord begin to relax and gradually stretch, along with ligaments around the spine.

2. The intervertebral space of the spine expands, which brings blood flow, circulation, and nutrition to the areas which were being compressed.

3. Increased circulation helps to oxygenate muscles, nerves, tendons, and ligaments, which leads to decreased pain and increased mobility.

This way, pinched nerves are released, herniated and bulging discs are reduced, and pressure is relieved.

Basically, it’s much simpler and much more user friendly. In the past, individuals could only receive traction at a physical therapist’s office. But these visits are often time consuming, inconvenient, and costly. Today, there are many at-home cervical traction devices, but most are complex, cumbersome, bulky, expensive, and potentially injurious. What was missing was an easy to use, compact, non-marring, effective traction device that minimized discomfort and avoids potentially injurious stresses, while giving the patient ultimate relaxation and pain relief. Physical therapist Dr. Steve Suddell recognized this…so he created The Neck Hammock!

No. While The Neck Hammock achieves many of the same benefits of physical and massage therapy, it is not meant to replace these modalities.

Instead, it’s meant to be a compliment to these therapies which can be used every day to help relieve pain and protect against future injury.

Almost! The Neck Hammock is ideal for:
* Office workers
* Students
* Athletes

* Bodyworkers

Do not use The Neck Hammock if you have:

The Neck Hammock is 80% polyester, 20% spandex.

Pretty much! It’s designed to work on any swinging door with a handle or knob.

It’s unbelievably simple. Just follow these three steps:

1. Wrap it around your door handle
2. Close the door
3. Lie down and relax!

If you’re not using a door handle to secure The Neck Hammock, a door jamb or a railing will work as well.

It’s really up to you. Remember, the objective is to feel a comfortable, gradual stretch, and much of it depends on how it feels for you. Ideally, we recommend that the base/pad of the Neck Hammock be approximately 2-4 inches off the ground when assembled, however, as for the distance between the hammock and the y-axis (e.g. wall or door), it will also depend as to which angle feels relaxing and comfortable for you. If you are seeking a more aggressive stretch, scoot away from the wall or door. Start more conservatively and see how your body responds after 1 session.

If the stretch is too much, move back towards the wall or door. Your body is very smart, it knows what it likes and doesn’t like. If the stretch feels too strong, then it probably is. Adjust the tension based on your needs.

We like to compare this to improving hamstring flexibility. If you have REALLY tight hamstrings, then you are probably going to need to stretch them 2-3x a day for a few weeks to see permanent physical change. If you have relatively flexible hamstrings, then you probably only need to stretch them 3-4x per week. It’s the same as your neck. If it’s in bad shape, you may need to use 2-3x per day up to 15 minutes at a time. If 15 minutes give you a headache, try to decrease the time and place the pad more towards the middle of your neck.
