Description
Using the Cervical Traction System with Neck Roll, under the direction of a health care professional, provides the head and neck with therapeutic traction to help reduce tension on the anterior cervical spine. Cervical Neck Traction is an ideal physical therapy exercise to help relieve chronic neck pain and discomfort.
The firm, precision cut 3.75 inch diameter foam positioning cervical roll provides gentle rotational traction to the neck, placing it in a proper position to help reestablish a diminished cervical curve. The roll also allows the shoulders to drop, stretching the chest and neck muscles. Opening the chest in this manner promotes breathing and facilitates relaxation.
The adjustable traction weight bag is constructed of durable ballistic nylon, and features a heavy-duty zipper to easily add or remove weight. Simply add or remove weight using up to 5 (16.9 fl oz) filled water bottles for desired weight. The weight of the water bottles gently applies rotational traction to the head and neck, helping to stretch the spinal vertebrae and surrounding muscles. Rotating the head to the posterior creates space between the vertebrae to relieve compression and allow muscles to relax.
The head harness gently cradles the head and secures it in proper position for cervical traction. Constructed of smooth durable nylon material, the harness is comfortable against the skin and adjustable to accommodate different sized heads. Easily adjust fit with convenient hook and loop closures. The durable resin-coated metal hook easily secures to the weight bag through the grommet.
Many daily activities affect our posture, placing the head and neck in a detrimental forward head position. This can be attributed to looking down at handheld devices, sleeping with the head excessively elevated, poor posture, or an acute injury such as whiplash. Using this traction system helps relieve neck and shoulder pain, tension, stress, pressure, muscles spasms, and numbness of the cervical region.
Package includes adjustable head harness, foam roll, adjustable traction weight bag. Use under the supervision of a health care professional.
