Those of us who sit at a desk all day know the hunchback struggle. Sometimes I’ll catch myself mid-slouch and realize my posture is absolutely atrocious. Not only is it unpleasant to look at, but it’s also terrible for your spine. And if you’re anything like me, bad posture usually comes with a stiff neck and the occasional headache.

It really feels like it’s trying to stretch everything back into the right place.” – Kristena“I bought this for myself as I’ve had some shoulder and neck issues for some years due to an injury. In the first use I noticed the tension decrease and has helped my neck and shoulders to relax.My husband started using it without my knowledge. He uses it daily as recommended and loves it so much. He had me order one as a gift for his elderly father’s 95th birthday. Now his siblings and nephews are ordering their own after using grandpa’s. He should be the one writing this review, because he has another gift ready for his next lunch visit with one of his friends that has a stressful career and the tension that comes along.” – Ro“This works really well for relieving neck and shoulder tension. It takes a little getting used to at first, but after a few minutes you can feel a nice stretch and pressure that helps relax tight muscles. It’s simple to use, lightweight, and easy to store. Great for people who sit a lot or have stiff necks.” – Amazon Customer“My physical therapist recommended this neck traction tool as a part of my in-home neck and upper spine therapy.

Very relaxing and effectively reduces neck pain.” – AngelThe original version of this story was published on HuffPost at an earlier date.Trending In ShoppingMore In Shopping
