The Neck Pain Struggle (And Your Secret Weapon)
If neck pain disrupts your sleep, work, and daily life, you're not alone. The good news? Your neck traction pillow (like the Heat Traction Comfort Neck Relief Pillow) is already doing heavy lifting.
But there's a way to accelerate results:
"Pairing traction therapy with targeted stretches can reduce recovery time by 40% and prevent future flare-ups."
Why Stretches + Traction = Magic
Your traction pillow:
✔️ Decompresses vertebrae
✔️ Improves spinal alignment
✔️ Relaxes muscles with heat
Adding stretches:
✔️ Boosts blood flow (speeding healing)
✔️ Restores mobility
✔️ Prevents muscle imbalances
Pro Tip: Use your Heat Traction Pillow after stretching to "lock in" the benefits.
5 Neck Stretches That Work 3X Better With Traction
1. Side-to-Side Tilt
How: Gently tilt head toward shoulder (hold 15-20 sec). Alternate sides.

2. Chin-to-Chest Stretch
How: Lower chin to chest (hold 20-30 sec), then slowly lift.
Why: Counters "tech neck" from phones/computers.
Traction Boost: Pillow heat loosens stiff tissues for deeper stretches.
3. Neck Rotations
How: Turn head to look over shoulder (hold 15 sec). Repeat both sides.
