After reading through these reviews before I purchased this item, I noticed that a lot of people had talked about it being uncomfortable. I don’t think that people understand that the only way this will be comfortable is if your spine is already in perfect alignment, which I don’t think most people who are trying this are. It will be uncomfortable to move your spine into correct position. It shouldn’t be overbearing, but definitely some discomfort until you resolve the issue. I used it and could immediately feel a difference in my shoulders and neck. It was a good stretch and I could tell just how out of alignment I truly was because I was headachy and a little sore the next day. The more you GRADUALLY work with this, the less discomfort you will have when using it. It is not made for comfort, it is made for adjustment. I do think that it would be comfortable if I was in the correct placement for my spine though. I definitely recommend this product to anyone with tightness in the neck and shoulders, but you should definitely know what to expect when you start. It isn’t an over night it’s magically better kind of thing, it takes time to work things out, just like it took time for them to get that way.

After completing 12 weeks of Chiropractic treatments my Dr suggested I order this pillow to help with at home support of my neck and spinal alignments.After 2 weeks of no more dr visits I was anxious to receive the pillow. Soon as it arrived I opened it up and laid down on the floor with it. Within one minute relief came to my neck and shoulders. I couldn't believe it. All it took was just 2 minutes total first try to feel a huge difference in the stress and pain. Next day I went a couple minutes longer and with more relief. Now I am staying at 5 minutes morning and night time..I would love to go to sleep on it but after 5 min my cervical spine feels too much soreness. I have never bought a product that really helps but I really lucked up finding this. I would rate it 10 stars!! I realize every one has different neck problems So I suggest you talk to your dr before buying this. If you want to try it I am totally satisfied with service and price of this company. I do hope for you that you find this pillow will give you comfort and relief as it has me. D Davis North Carolina

I rarely write reviews but I’ve been using this for a month and it really deserves one. I’ve had a pinched nerve for going on a year now that starts in my neck, caused a ton of pain in my shoulder and numbness in my arm and hand. I had seen a chiropractor and knew that it was due to loosing the natural curve in my neck. Instead of paying the chiropractor thousands of dollars upfront, I thought I would give this a shot first. I use it for ten minutes, three times a day. After about three days I started noticing an big improvement and after a week my pain was completely gone. I used to take ibuprofen all day, every day and the pain was the worst at night, keeping me from sleeping. I haven’t taken any painkillers for three weeks now and have no problems with pain while sleeping. I’m so glad I bought this!

This is not a one-time quick fix for neck pain. Remember that your body slowly developed problems - you will need to slowly repair it. I used this for the first time last evening when the package arrived. I utilized it according to the instructions but didn't expect miracles. As I laid on the floor acclimating to this new weird device, I actually felt my shoulders and neck RELAX! It was so amazing.I used the "initial" side and then switched to the other side - not for me. Not yet. I stayed with the "initial" stretch side for the full 10 minutes. A huge chunk of the neck pain I had been carrying around for the past several days was noticeable reduced.This morning I used it again before leaving for work. Again, was actually able to feel my muscles and tension relaxing. Actually leaving my body. I am sitting here at work now amazed and how significantly my pain has reduced. I would normally be struggling just to type - my right shoulder would be screaming at me already. But it feels doable today. I can't wait to get home and try it again this afternoon!This will not replace my regular chiropractic adjustments. But I do know that using this tool in addition to the regular adjustments will provide a tremendous amount of relief. This is amazing!

I didn't think this could be the solution I was looking for but I was willing to give it a shot. The other options were the neck sling, which looks totally effective but something about hanging my head by the door urks me...and a vertical table, which I've used and LOVE but its extra af (meaning I don't have space for that crazy contraption maybe when I'm 50). Most importantly, I needed something portable.Man, am I happy this lil futuristic tsunami pillow exists (not it's real name, I give it nicknames cus it's just so cute and weird lookin!) I'll have to travel with it and have one in my life forever from here on out but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make...What does it do for me/how do I use it?• it alleviates my neck, shoulder, and even lower back pain in a matter of 10-30 minutes.• At a minimum, I use it two times a week for 5-10 minutes (but usually longer if I have time) and just lay on the floor with it tucked under my neck and the base of it pressed into my shoulders. You take deep, thoughtful breaths and let your head drop back. As you breath you'll feel your neck making space for the tension to pass through and be relieved. Make sure you're not tensing your shoulders, you will and that's ok, just catch yourself and really let yourself continue to fall into the stretch. BREATHING THROUGH THE TENSION IS THE MEDICINE. This pillow guides your spinal chord into alignment. Also pay attention to your how even your hips/pelvis will need to realign as you lay there.• this alone permits me to go to town as a side sleeper.• being that I'm a side sleeper with double jointed shoulders that pop out of socket when I sleep, as well as a lower back disk herniation---for years, on the daily, I've woken up with the most intense aches in my scapula, neck, and lower back. Its worse on weekdays when I work on a laptop and tilt my neck in a dumb way, but this pillow completely eradicated that pain in about 3 days after purchase. So we can all agree, IM OBSESSED.• if I don't use it weekly, my pain will return as my work habits and phone habits seem to force me into terrible posture :/If my experience sounds like yours in any way, I highly recommend you try this product! It will change your sleep, spine and body for the better.
