Product details
The NeckRest by BakBalls is a self-treatment device designed to help people manage neck pain and cervicogenic headaches at home. It was developed by Mark Alexander, an Australian Olympic sports physiotherapist and university lecturer, with the ridge placement informed by published research on cervical spine anatomy.
The device's raised treatment ridges are spaced to correspond with the average distance between the cervical facet joints and the mastoid processes, aiming to let body weight direct gentle, sustained pressure onto the upper cervical muscles and joints that are commonly associated with neck tightness and tension headaches. It's designed to be used lying down, allowing the neck and shoulder muscles to relax around the pressure points.
