December 5, 2005—While working or looking overhead, a person’s head is tilted backward, so the weight of the head is transferred from the spine to the neck and shoulder muscles causing strain and fatigue. NeckAid, by Skan Technologies, is designed to reduce neck pain in those conditions by supporting the head when tilted back. Yet, according to the company, due to its patented design, does not impede head movement when the head is in an upright position.
NeckAid reduces neck pain by supporting the head, enabling the user to relax the muscles of the neck and shoulders. Simply place NeckAid behind the neck and attach the straps. It is light, providing comfortable support when the head is tilted back.
When the head is in an upright position NeckAid is out of the way. The head can move from side to side without coming into contact with the support so it doesnt compromise maneuverability, notes the company. The user can bend over, stretch to full extension, and wear it in conjunction with most types of garments.
