The first is Dr. Ho’s neck comforter which helps to alleviate neck stiffness and pain. This is an explanation of how it works (it is from his website): DR-HO’S® Neck ComforterTM is an inflatable neck traction device that inflates with air using a high efficiency hand pump. When it is partially inflated, DR-HO’S® Neck ComforterTM functions like a neck support. When DR-HO’S® Neck ComforterTM is fully inflated, it supports the weight of the head to help reduce stress on the neck and shoulders. Further inflation elongates and gently stretches the neck and shoulder muscles while supporting good posture. This further reduces stress on the neck and shoulder muscles. Many health professionals have observed that cervical neck traction allows tight neck muscles to relax, and helps decompress spinal discs and joints. The pressure is adjustable so you can set the stretching to your comfort level. There are no batteries, chemicals or harmful side effects. It’s portable, safe and easy to use. This is such a great device and I think that just about anyone can benefit from it. Your head weighs as much as a bowling ball and that does create tension in your neck and shoulders.

My mom was in a bad car wreck when she was about 19 and has had problems with her neck ever since (stiffness, tightness, etc) and the first time she used it she was amazed at how much better her neck felt. The website is  www.drhonow.com  I have not used any of his other products but this one is awesome.

Posture Pal pillow-this is pillow that you use up to 20 minutes a day. You do not sleep with it. It helps to align your spine and it simulates certain exercise that help improve posture and all you have to do is lay on it. I have mine on the floor in the living room and I listen to some music while I use it. You can go to the website  www.posturepal.com  and check it out. It was developed by a chiropractor. Once again, sitting at desk studying or working on a computer puts a strain on those muscles that help support good posture so this helps to correct that and it is easy to use just like the neck comforter.
