Further instructions/explanations on how to use the NeckFix device
First of all, I want to explain that the level of inflation when a person feel discomfort will always differ from person to person, and that is the reason why we cannot just define overinflating the device as what is over a standard number of pumps.
But what we can do, is provide some recommendations that would help our customers determine where relaxation stops and discomfort begins.
In order to figure out the perfect level of inflation for you, you can try taking the following steps:
1. Inflate the product until your head and chin are resting comfortably on the device. Usethe device like this for 15 minutes, 2-3 times/day. You can use it when you work on your laptop, watch TV or simply relax on the couch.
The NeckFix device will help relieve tension or pain from your neck and posterior muscles.
2. After you have determined the position in which your head and chin rest comfortably on the device, continue by inflating the device with an additional 5 pumps for the next 3 days (i.e. +5 pumps on the first day, +10 pumps on the second day, +15 pumps on the third day).
If you feel uncomfortable at any time, stop pumping air into the device.
Use the device every day for 15 minutes, 2-3 times/day.
Inflating the device progressively will help you realize when the device becomes uncomfortable. Stretching your tendons and ligaments excessively from the beginning can cause inflammation and pain and can result in an overall bad experience. That is why we emphasize on the importance of finding your own level of comfort when using the device.
As you know, sometimes slower is faster .
