Neck Pain Relief Patches

Think of how you feel after a hot shower compared to first thing on a cold morning. Warm muscles are softer and more willing to let go.

The heat goes in first and loosens things up, so the massage is working on a neck that's already relaxing. Either one on its own is nice. Together they do more than the sum of the two.

Under your neck, not under your head. The curved part goes in the hollow between your shoulders and the back of your skull, and the back of your head rests on the cushion behind it.

Your shoulders should be flat on the sofa or bed. If the pillow is up under your skull, slide down a few centimetres. Getting this right is the difference between "nice" and "oh, that's good".

Anyone whose neck and shoulders feel tight by the evening. That's most people who spend the day at a desk, looking down at a laptop or a phone, or behind the wheel.

If you've tried a heat pack, a new pillow or a few stretches and wished one of them did a bit more, this was made with you in mind. It also makes a thoughtful gift for someone who's always rubbing their neck.

Not really. With warmth and massage, a short go every day beats a long one once a week. Fifteen minutes is long enough for your neck to loosen and short enough that you'll actually keep it up. But using it longer has no risk either.

It also fits into a real evening: while the kettle's on, before bed, or for the first quarter of an hour of whatever's on the telly.

NeckLift is £65, once. Use it every evening for a year and it works out at pennies a go. It isn't a replacement for professional treatment if you need it, but for the everyday tightness from a day at a desk, it's a fraction of the cost.nswer here.
