When it comes to finding the right way to stretch your neck to relive neck pain and headaches, you should always make sure that you are incorporating a stretch that can provide decompression and curve restoration for your neck. This is why we always recommend the towel stretch to help decompress the cervical spine and give those muscles a rest. More recently a device called the Neck Cloud has been released and this claims to help provide relief for neck pain too.
In this video we review the Neck Cloud when compared to other neck decompression options as well as demonstrate how you should be using this particular device.

Thank you so much for this very clear explanation!! Really helpful video, thanks so much for sharing this. It's the first video I found that I thought was actually clear in explaining how and why to use these techniques/devices. Absolutely great!!
Thanks a lot for the kind words, glad you did find it so helpful and the explanations on how/why productive :D
Thank you for the thorough review. I am always skeptical of ads, but I have terrible migraines and neck pain most days and this video was very honest and pure to help me make a decision. 👏
Glad to hear you found it helpful, just when you start out using it don't forget to get off to the side slowly without twisting your neck :)
This was SUPER useful. Thanks so much 👍💯
Glad it helped you :D
Great information. Thank you!
Its a pleasure, thanks for the kind comment.
Fantastic video!!! The device is real bless for my neck !!! Thanks!
Great to hear you found it helpful!
Great video. Thanks. I revisited this as l've had my neck cloud for a few years and wanted some revision
Glad you found it handy :)
Great video thanks
its a pleasure :)
GREAT video! Thank you for sharing.
My Neck Cloud came yesterday and I've used it 3 times so far.
I've noticed my traps, neck and shoulders feeling tight and had been checking out the Cloud at times.
So, my only correction for myself is to tilt my head back/ chin up just a little bit more rather than being in neutral position l as if in yoga/savsanah .
Re: the dismount: Yes, you DO need to support your head then turn to roll out. and not just lift your head up.
glad you found it helpful! :D we do think it's a pretty good device for neck health - provided it's used properly !
same here. mine came today and my traps are soooo soft. they're always rock hard
Thank you so much didn´t know about neck cloud. hope helps with neck protruding.
It's a pleasure :) it will :)
Hi. Really like the videos and info you provide. 5 weeks ago I had a fusion at c5 c6 level, would these exercises be good to use at the stage I am at now ? Kind regards Rich
Its a pleasure! It really depends where you're at in the recovery process to be honest.
Thank you so much for the video; also the video on the back stretcher device~bought both recently. Curious if one can use both at the same time?
It's a pleasure, you can do but you really want to make sure you're happy with the positioning of them so assuming you are, there's no reason not to - just remember to get off carefully :)
Thanks for the great video! I was wondering with the dismount, once you’ve rolled onto your side, can you let go of your head and get up to standing anyway you like or is there a certain way to get from laying on your side to standing that is better? Thanks!!
Its generally better to have a small cushion close by and just give yourself a moment or two - 20 seconds, something like that to get yourself set and then stand up carefully :) that should work perfectly :)
There something about doing this that gives me a thrill like how some people love popping pimples . I love making my bones go in the correct posture and pushing it to the limit with my neck curve an back curve
Great to hear that you like it! :)
I have cervical vertigo in my neck. I purchased the Neck Cloud from Amazon 3 weeks ago. I use it daily for about 10 minutes along with some Ben Gay and I feel somewhat better with the dizziness and walking off balance not as bad. My cervical vertigo was so bad, it was affecting my daily life causing me to go into depression. I love my Neck Cloud because it has helped. I send greetings from Washington, D.C. in the United States. I plan to make an appointment at your clinic in London when I visit there for the 1s time.
Thanks for the comment, great to hear that you're finding this to be helpful! :D You're welcome to visit us anytime.
Please get checked your vitamin D and b12 level.and if you need to take them go for vitamin d injections not syrup or tab. B12 tabs are fine . Hope you get better
Wish l watched it before l started using the cloud and actually jumping up from it, instead of just rolling off of it. Painful lesson ☹️ Thank you for this valuable information nugget 🙏
sorry to hear that, but glad you're here and you benefited from the little bit of information that can make such a difference :)
Here as my neck cloud bundle I bought directly from the manufacturer did not come with instructions. Thanks for explaining. And very handsome too 😊
Glad the video helped - it is so odd that they have such poor instructions for a device that’s actually really good and quite affordable!
Thank you for this information! I’m an avid reader; what position do you suggest folks read in that would not add to the tech neck problem?
It’s a pleasure, to be honest, holding the book up is going to be best - avoiding sitting reading with the book in your lap for example.
Thank you.
IT's a pleasure, Thanks for the comment.

I have the stretcher,and I want to restore my neck curve,how many times should I use it in a day pls
@@oluchukwususanononuju6991 What's your current cervical curve measuring at presently?
Thank you for making this video, does the neck cloud help reduce a back hump on the vertebra right at the top of the back/bottom of neck?
@@evenstarundomiel2642 Its a pleasure, it could well help with realigning the neck and posture making such bones less prominent yes :)
This device is awesome. I've used it every night for 2 weeks now and have noticed so much relief. It took a good week before I noticed a difference. It increased the pain at first and then it got better. I assume it got worse at first because my neck was not used to being in the correct position
They really are quite good aren't they! For many who have real issues in the neck & headaches etc, it can be a bit of a change to begin with but when there has been an issue for so long it's to be expected that there will be a little discomfort to begin
Good to know! I'm having the same problem, and I just started, so I was wondering if I was doing something wrong.
Did it help with a neck hump/posture?
@@BackInShapeProgramI have always had good posture but I have gradually suffered horrific neck pain and my lordosis is going straight and the pain no matter how much I walk or exercise or stretch or keep posture it’s constantly painful and gets curved could this be more degenerative arthritis is huge in our family
@@Lollylobesjewellery the problem is likely to be heavily related to what you're doing when you're not doing exercises or stretches - do check out the neck program if you do need more help with this: shop.backinshapeprogram.com/products/neck-pain-relief-program
Thank u 🙏
It's a pleasure :)
Brilliantly helpful video thank you! My only dilemma is that there are so many devices (neck clouds) for sale ranging from £5 to £80 - are they the same or are some better than others? I use a Denneroll but the cloud looks gentler for everyday maintenance.
It's a pleasure, we have put links in the description for the ones we can recommend. they're around the £25 mark :) Deneroll is a great option but you are right the cloud is more gentle, that being said both are good if you're just using them for 5 minutes or so at a time.
Thankyou for explaining this so clearly and easy to understand, i need this asap, im a barber and my shoulders and neck is developing curve. Do you think it will deffo help?
Your job is difficult because you spend so much time looking down while cutting hair, but i would say this in combination with some back exercises would be the best way to oppose the stresses of work. :)
I feel a whole lot of spikes and warmth. Is this good?
I feel a bit of pressure in my cervical region and in the last months in developing a neck hump.At the same time this been happening i developed a nasty tinnitus in my right year. Can those be related and this Technics that you show can help?
Thanks for the video.
Devices like this can help put your neck in a better position, the neck hump is usually the consequence of either a neck curve reversal/straightening or your head protruding forwards - both of which would be helped by using one of the 3 options in this video :) some inner ear things can potentially be related but you'd be better getting the tinnitus checked out specifically :)
@@BackInShapeProgram thanks
@@lucasfranceschini7952 no problem :D
Would there be any conflict with using these techniques at the same time as the lower back towel, or should they been done separately?
So long as you're happy with the placement side of things, then that will be fine. Just remember that you might need to re-adjust once you put the second one in place :)
I wish I watched this before I used my neck pillow. I didn't hold my head and roll off while getting up and hurt myself even more. Now I feel worse then before I used the pillow😮💨
Sorry to hear, it really would be good if they told people these tips in the instructions 😞
Can you do the neck cloud and a lumbar towel at the same time? Or would you recommend one then the other? Thanks!
You can but you just need to make sure both are working as effectively if you know what i mean :) you'll feel if they arent :)
Which one should I choose, Eva material or PU? Please help!
Not too sure what you mean here? the ones we cover in the video are all good :)
i have that neck cloud but i get pain even more especially on my neck muscle. maybe i used it incorrectly. i slept on it the whole night. is that correct? or there is only a specific number og minutes to use it then remove?
Yeah, sleeping on it all night is not something that i believe they advise... Typically people are doing it for 3-5 minutes.
Can you use the neck cloud the other way around? My Amazon purchase says it’s possible for additional stretch 🤷♀️
You can do but i think, from experimenting with it reversing it isn't as good :) it also doesn't leave enough space for the head to hang when you reverse it, the back of your head rests on the slope.
Yes, it's actually recommended by the instruction manual to use the side that has the open C part first because it's minimal traction, and then use the closed side because it's a deeper stretch/traction.
Is the neck cloud suitable for someone with a bulging disc in the neck? Recently I have had an MRI scan and my cervical spine has a bulging disc, degenerative discs and narrowing of the spine canal.
It goes without saying that you should cover this with your specific health care practitioner/consultant/doctor. However, it is something that we would consider in patients with these diagnoses.
If in using this how long doest it take to get back to normal my straight cervical spine?
It depends how far out you are unfortunately - as well as how you use this device. It's not the best answer I'm sorry :( In our experience with the denneroll though, typically a 10-14 degree increase in 3 months is possible :)
I'm confused in the positioning of the cloud. theres two ways i feel i can lay on it. one where the base of my skill is touching the last nodule on the top and another where my head is a bit higher. they feel very different.
the first i dont feel my head is bent back very much and the other is bent back quite a bit. which is correct?
Try to follow the position we demonstrate in the video more effectively, the nodules are not important, it is the cervical spines position you want to priorities :)
it's actually recommended by the instruction manual to use the side that has the open C part first because it's minimal traction, and then use the closed side because it's a deeper stretch/traction.
So yes, there is a difference between them and that is the reason why.
@@DS-zo8xs Yes there certainly is the difference, I think it just didn't really work as nicely in our opinion but for the more cautious individual its always reasonable to go slow :)
Is it true you can have so much scar tissue you may need surgery to remove it? Mike literally feels and sounds like gristle as I move my neck. It feels like it’s just pushing my neck forward. My family has a long history of arthritis and chronic pain I have struggled in pain for so long my X-ray says I have reduced lordosis I have serious trap and right shoulder issues too and an old clavicle fracture with post traumatic osteolysis
Generally not scar tissuse, sometimes a cervical bar might have developed but this is bone rather than scar tissue and the gristle feeling would be the least of your trouble generally speaking it's worth getting started working on rehabilitating the neck properly :)
What is the difference between neckcloud and restcloud? I assume different brands, but is one better than the other?
From what i can see it looks like rest cloud is a pillow more for your lower back - could be wrong there though...
I noticed that my head doesn’t touch the floor even when I slide the neck clock down
Depending on how tall you are this might well be the case :)
which one is better doctor .. neck cloud or neck Hero? can you please help
We haven't reviewed the neck hero unfortunately. The neck hero looks as though the people in the examples are not using it properly ... which is annoying as customers will get confused. But i would say that it's more likely that the neck cloud will be better for more people.
My head does not seem to touch the floor using the neck cloud.
I have it touching my shoulders but my head don't touch the floor...is this ok or does it need to?
chances are that you should have it a touch lower down, but that's just a guess - obviously if you were like 5 ft or less then it is going to be different to someone who's 6ft+
Warning! Don’t make my mistake and watch ahead first. I stopped the video and did the towel roll exercise, then simply jumped up before watching the brace your neck bit. Discomfort ensued as warned. 😢
Thanks for sharing and sorry for the trouble, glad you've corrected the error :D
Is this device suitable for someone with chiari 1 malformation?
If you can lie on a pillow or hard surface it should be ok, but you have to see how comfortable/uncomfortable it is for you specifically. And if you're still unsure, please check with your doctor's supervision.
If you can't get on the floor can you do it in the bed . aren't there two ways to use the neck cloud
you can do it on the bed it's just not quite as good to be honest.
This may be mentioned but how long each day should you lay on the neck cloud?
General advice is around 2-5 minutes :)
is it useful for athritis patients who have neck hump
We would be inclined to say yes :)
Which product is better? The neck cloud or the neck denneroll?
If you have the denneroll and are trying to change your neck alignment & have X-rays and practitioner guidance - the denneroll. But for the average person i would say the neck cloud is better for their needs.
@@BackInShapeProgram Is hard material or soft material products better for the neck??? I have a flattened neck because I use a lot of computers and smartphones.
My neck and shoulders crack and crunch there’s so much scar tissue
Can It be used for cervical disc bulge. ..???
I imagine many will - just make sure you feel confident and have guidance from your doctor :)
Is it helpful for forehead posture to get the right posture??
Do you mean the head going forwards too far? if so, yes this sort of thing will help as well as some general posture awareness & exercises
@@BackInShapeProgram how long will it take to get back to normal in the right position?
@@brownboii305 This device doesn't have the research that other more specialist devices do (denneroll) but i expect the mechanism is the same/similar so a 10-14 degree change in a 3-4 month period of proper use - but of course you need to have a measure of where you are to begin with and how far you "need to go" etc etc etc
@@BackInShapeProgram ahh makes sense. How can one figure out how many degrees one is at?
@@brownboii305 Yes you can measure easily on standing X-ray
Would you recommend a rolled towel instead of a pillow while sleeping?
Sometimes I find it helpful, when sleeping on your back but ill usually only do it for a short time then switch out to the pillow slide sleeping :)
Does this helps in eliminating neck hump ?
Yes, but you need to combine it with some exercises to draw the head back like those we talk about on the neck pain episode of the podcast and the whiplash episode. We also have some more dedicated support in our neck program: shop.backinshapeprogram.com/products/neck-pain-relief-program
Okay. Thank you so much
Would a foam roller also work?
They tend to be too bit and the fact they roll less easy to do - the towel or neck cloud are better options :)
Is the neck cloud still working if my head doesnt touch the floor. I have a huge neck hump😢
Yes provided you have the positioning right, sometimes people place it too high up the neck which creates the issue - also your height will have an impact in general too.
@@BackInShapeProgram Ok ty, I dont want to give up on it yet
@@chastity5214 These things to take some time but you'll get there :) do check out the website here for a more in depth review of neck issues - the article is on neck pain but it will certainly be relevant here for the neck hump. Plus do keep an eye out as our neck program is to be released in the coming weeks which might well be of interest for you - especially if this has been an issue for a longer period of time.

Can you sleep with any of the? Or just a few minutes?
Best off not sleeping on them, but reserving them for shorter periods of usage :)
Can I use this while laying flat on my bed?
Yes but floor is better :)
How long it will take to recover cervical straighting
Depends how straight your neck is but typically you might expect a 10-15 degree improvement in a 3 month period if you're following a good protocol!
@@BackInShapeProgram
How to use it properly I got it ....but my head doesn't touch the ground ....is it correct? ...
In advertisement I have seen both ways ....head touches ground in some it doesnt
@@riswqnkhan3400 Part of this is going to depend how stiff/flexible you are. It would be common to find that the head at the start does not touch the floor, but over the weeks relaxes better and starts too.
Does it work for tech neck?
Yep :)
Will the towel help get rid of a lump?
We actually have a video coming out this week to help that specific issue, the towel certainly has a place and there are a few other bits that can help actively :) - Video should drop in the next few days :)
Thank you that's awesome!
@@agotigo7814 Its a pleasure :)
@@agotigo7814 here's that video: ruclips.net/video/ltFHDinPWyY/видео.html
Will it help the tingling in my fingers?
If it is coming from your neck it will do over time :) (among other practices)
My main problem. I'll sleep with my head at a 90 degree angle to my body. I'll flatten out my pillow and wake up with it back in that 90 degree angle. I wonder if Mike and his pillow corporation has any ideas.
Not too sure regarding why you might end up back in such an extreme position - it is always a challenge to make changes when conscious, we can only do our best, it is even more challenging when we're unconscious!
Hoe does it help with 8mm protruding of 5,6 and 7 neck discs?
So long as you combine it with other bits of rehab for strengthening and make a commitment to minimise time spent with the chin to the chest ie. on the iPhone
Are either the host of this video or the individual responding to the question a neurologist or an orthopedist who has a medical degree and additional medical education as a specialist?
Michael Is a UK Osteopath.
You said do this for a maximum of 5 minutes regularly. Why? What happens if I do it for an hour?
I'd suggest not doing that :)
@@BackInShapeProgram Yes i got that on the video but hoped you would elaborate further why doing it for longer is not better?
Can't you use the neck cloud two ways
You can, we find this is the most effective. the other has issues
These things are 7quid on ebay
Awesome!
My advice to you guys from my experience. NEVER EVER STRECH OR OVER MASSAGE YOUR NECK! Use Gravity instead to regain your natural curve as is shown in this video. It takes time and patience but it works.
Thanks for the comment :)
Actually stretching is important orthopaedics will tell you that
@@Lollylobesjewellery the right sorts of stretching can certainly be helpful :)
Can you speak 🗣️ hindi
we cannot unfortunately :(
My head doesn’t reach the floor 🥲 I have cervical spondylosis
Its likely that If you've got that degeneration you're neck will be really rigid to begin with - you'll be surprised what a few months can often do :)
I'm same as u.. keep at it.. I use the denner roll... defiantly helps.. I go 20 to 30 at a time though.. fixed my cervical vertigo.
That is my dad, his literally won't touch the ground while laying on his back. And when turning to look back he has to turn his whole body. And can't even look above without bending knees and tilting back.... So I'm trying to help he is stubborn and won't do anything about it at 62.

will the stretcher treat a pinched nerve in the neck?

@@BackInShapeProgram Thanks for your reply. It's very helpful. Are there any videos you can recommend for strengthening to help my pinched nerve?
