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.

We wanted a product that people could use to maintain progress between sessions, and something that was simple, effective and portable, so that they could get the benefit when not able to attend physiotherapy, either due to cost, convenience or travel.
We wanted a product that who prolonged bowing head, sit still for a long time, improper sitting posture, stiff neck could use regularly to keep pain at bay and reduce their use of medication.

Effective Solution for Neck and Shoulder Tension: RESTCLOUD Cervical Traction Device Review
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2024

Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2024
This device has proven effective in easing the tension that plagues me daily. With instructions advising a maximum of ten minutes per treatment, up to three times a day, I've managed to fit in two sessions - one in the morning and one in the evening - around my work schedule.
What sets this device apart is its subtle yet impactful approach. Unlike the dramatic crack you might expect, it offers a slow, almost imperceptible stretch. However, the relief it brings afterward is undeniable. The device can be situated in one of two ways: with the high point of the slope turned toward you or turned away from you to provide a lesser or a greater stretching effect.
Constructed from dense foam, the device resembles a miniature tidal wave, complete with nodules strategically placed to purportedly align the spine. While I can't attest to their effectiveness, I can certainly vouch for the device's overall efficacy.
It's essential to note that this device isn't meant to replace a pillow, and adhering to the recommended 10-minute maximum per treatment is crucial. Personally, I've integrated it into my daily routine since receiving it, and the results speak for themselves.
For anyone grappling with neck and shoulder tightness like myself, I wholeheartedly recommend giving the RESTCLOUD Cervical Traction Device a try based on my experience.
