Branfit Cervical Neck Traction Device Pro - Adjustable Neck Support and Neck Stretcher for Spine Alignment and Neck Pain Relief

I have to say, for under $15 I wasn't expecting too much, but this thing has far exceeded my expectations in every way. I've had it for about a year and a half and have abused the piss out of it. 2 years ago I started having cervical disc issues and after a while just needed something to relieve the weight of my own head every now and again. I got this intending to use it just when I need a little relief.... but when I say I've abused it, I have ABUSED it and its still holding strong. Ive used it during projects to support my head for hours at a time so I wouldn't be straining my neck muscles so much. Ive slept with it occasionally. Ive used it as a leveraging tool to stretch my neck muscles a LOT (this puts so much pressure on it, and it is not designed for this kind of use). I ended up having a spinal fusion about 7 months back and sometimes preferred this over the brace they gave me after surgery (after the initial 1st week which is the worst). To this day even though I'm starting to gain some normalcy back and less and less pain, I still use it during projects as a reminder to have good posture or lounging around because its just comfy! I'm just so pleased with this sturdy little thing and decided I had to give it a 5 star review and tell the world that I highly recommend it! Its just great! Last side note, there was good thought that went into the design. My favorite part is that you can disconnect the little hand pump to let the air out fast when finished, but I use it to cheat when blowing it up.... since you can disconnect the hand pump, you can actually blow it up quite fast (like a balloon) and then use the hose clamp to stop it from leaking back out while you put the hand pump back on and then fine tune the tightness the rest of the way with that! That way your hand doesn't get tired from pumping so much! It also has a valve that you can loosen to slowly let air out in a controlled manner if you want to gradually reduce pressure before taking it off completely. Its 200% worth every penny, your neck will thank you!

As a physiotherapist, I find this cervical traction device helpful for relieving neck tension and improving posture. It’s easy to use at home, though a bit bulky to store. Overall, a solid tool for patients needing gentle traction.

*Pro tips* BREATHE. Sit on toilet with feet propped up. So your lower back is not compressed. Do not sit on toilet top or without foot rest. Your circulation will not flow well. ..PROPER USE INSTRUCTIONS.. The way to put it on is, straps on the back of neck. Get help if you cannot. Then, if you have a fear of compression on neck. No matter what, you will not like it. "fat" necks might not work. After putting it on the correct way. Inflate until you reach the point where you don't have to hold up neck. When you reach this point. You have a choice of how far you want to go. If you want full extension. Blow up slowly. If you feel light headed release some air or breathe deep and relax. It will not choke you out, unless that's your thing? But just don't go that far.... Now, when you have the pressure at YOUR max. Relax. You can move your neck a bit to get extension of motion if you're stretching it. If you want to crack through extension. Slowly stand up. Lean forward. Have someone there in case you fall. After leaning towards the ground, relax. Slowly reach your toes if you can. At this point I felt cracks through my core neck. Don't force it. You'll know when your body wants to do it. After you reach 15- 30mins. For 3-5 mins slowly release the pressure. Stop after you feel the air give a little on supporting your neck. Wait and breathe. Slowly release again. Do this till you can move your neck. If you release too fast. You will not get good results. If you can lay down or stretch you body, even better. Like if you're about to workout. Chill for about 20 mins. You will feel better. For best results. I believe this product is a long term slow but fast effective product. It depends on your problems. I have tight neck and pinched nerve in my shoulder. If you have something severe. Do not expect it to work the first time. You're neck needs to stretch and release before it can start healing. Then, learning the new posture you are inducing. Once your body gets there, you should feel relieved. If you read this far. You give a iish and if you follow what I learned. you should feel like I feel. More energy and extended.

This was a very helpful device, except when I just went to get it out to use it, the hand pump is cracked beyond use! When I went to pump it up, it just started leaking air from the hand pump because it’s cracked due to inferior materials used. Granted I purchased this in 2019, but now it’s completely useless.

The product is good quality but difficult to inflate. Feels like I'm squeezing the bulb forever :) I was encouraged to buy this product after reading many positive reviews. The seller did get in touch with me right after the delivery to ensure that the product delivered was working fine. Greatly appreciated that: wonderful customer service for sure. I use it about 3-4 times a week for about 15 min. My problem is severe ( 3 herniated discs) and perhaps that's why I did not find much pain relief with this product. I had to go for multiple steroid injections and the doctors recommended I continue with PT which was becoming too expensive :( I've stopped PT and continue to use this product hoping it provides the stretch and allow me to get the PT exercises at home. Update: The steroid injection only lasted 4 months and some pain and tingling in arms (mainly at night) has returned. I read on one of the websites (Dr. Google :)) that this pneumatic unit can help if used for at least 20 min. twice a day. I have since been using it 2X a day and the tingling has stopped. The pain is now manageable without medication. Still continuing with the PT exercises.

Helping too much for my neck

Comfort is very good as you can pump air as per your comfort and can reduce air if feel tight

Not happy with this product My neck started more pain after wear, (Seller suggest me wear with low air pressure) & I try same but still not comfortable to wear.

Product life only 2 days poor product not buying this

i like this product using it 2 times a day is very useful for cervical pain and very easy to use.if you got mild pain it is best no use of physiotherapy.
