Purify Life Occipital Release Tool for Pivotal Therapy and TMJ - Cervical Traction Pillow - Neck Stretcher and Shoulder Relaxer - Neck Traction Device for Spinal Alignment & Tension Headaches

This Pivotal Pillow has helped relieve the pain in my neck, the two spots at the base of the skull. When I first used this product I was so amazed because it did relieve the pain. I have used it every day for 10 minutes and hope that by the time I have the needle drilling procedure, I will not have the pain I am experiencing now. It is very soft and the pillows fit into the spots where I have the pain in my neck. It is a perfect fit and I am very pleased.

Initially this helped me a TON with my 4 mos. long, extreme neck stiffness & pain, 24/7. But as i slowly got better, using it caused more pain, b/c neither the device, nor i, are a site-specific occipital chiropractor, lol ! But, initially, i could not have lived without it, as i actually fell asleep on it with my neck stretched all the way back, & surprisingly, it put me on the road to recovery, & as long as i exercise my shoulders & don't look down at my phone too long or too much, i.e. writing reviews, i seem to be getting well(er) ! YAY. Good quality product & size, but i do have a smaller head.

When I’m using it, it feels like nothing is happening. But when I get up from using it, I can feel a major difference!! it’s hard to tell if you get it in the right spot on your neck, but I do feel like it hits the trigger points needed. This with massaging, I truly noticed a difference in my pain level

This neck and shoulder pad works really well for easing tension and stress. I use it for the hard to reach area between my shoulder blades that my foam roller does nothing for and it feels comfortable on the neck and shoulders. The size is just right, and the material feels soft and durable. overall it’s a great product for the price and very soothing after a long day. I use mine on the carpet and hard wood floor and I don’t have a problem getting a nice pressure point release for my neck and my upper back it’s great. As someone who sees the chiropractor 6-8 times a month I recommend this for regular at home comfort of tight upper shoulders and back. Just do it you won’t regret it. The size is perfect on your upper back to get those knots that hide between the shoulder blades.

It works wonders. I use it several times a day in addition toy physical therapy,

I find it offers relief for head and neck tension. It's part of my daily self care routine.

What I bought this for:I purchased this occipital release tool hoping to relieve neck tension, improve spinal alignment, and help with TMJ-related discomfort. I used it as directed, lying back on it for a few minutes at a time.First impressions:The product is well-made, and I appreciated that it’s FSA/HSA eligible. The design seemed promising — simple, supportive, and targeted.Performance & Experience:The first session actually felt pretty good — I noticed some tension relief in my neck and shoulders. But by day two or three, it started to feel too hard and uncomfortable, and the pressure points didn’t hit the same. Instead of relief, I felt more soreness after using it. I gave it a few more tries but ended up having to return it.Pros:• High-quality material• May work well for certain body types or tension spots• Eligible for FSA/HSA useCons:• Too firm for me — became painful• Relief didn’t last beyond the first use• Not adjustable or flexible for different neck shapesWould I recommend it?It didn’t work for me, but it might work for others with different neck tension patterns. Definitely try it on a soft surface and don’t overuse it. Thankfully, returns were easy.Tips for Buyers:Try it on your bed first before moving to a hard floorIf you have a sensitive neck or TMJ flare-ups, use with caution

As you can see from the picture, I’ve tried other products. This device is well constructed, simple to use and effective from day one. Does it replace a massage therapist with targeted therapy no, none of them do. Don’t waste your money on the other products. This is the one to buy and stick with it. It’s simple and effective.
