Summary: From someone who has neck problems
Comment: I have had this product for several months now. I bought it with the intent of reducing pain in my neck area (I had professional physical therapy years ago where head traction was performed via machine and found that traction eliminated my neck pain over the three months of physical therapy).

Overall, I found this product has helped, but to a lesser degree than expected, (I certainly did not expect the same degree of relief as provided by a professional physical therapist).

It is very important to start at a lower weight level and gradually work up to a higher weight level. One of the reasons is that you need to identify your comfort and uncomfort zones.

I did find that the headpiece became uncomfortable depending upon the weight and the duration in which you are using the product. At the higher weight level, I felt quite a bit of pressure on my lower chin.

The over-the-door mount is sturdy. However, I would have preferred that the bracket holding the two pulleys be longer because I kept coming into contact with the plastic weight bag.

Summary: Good but be careful
Comment: GOOD PRODUCT - BUT BE CAREFUL. YOU CAN HURT YOURSELF.

If you have problems with TMJ don't use this product!
If you use it too much you may have TMJ by the time you are done.

The more expensive products to do this do not put pressure on the jaw and teeth -- and are more effective - and cost $100s ($500 up) - so there is always a trade off.

Ask your doctor about how he/she feels about your using it. I recommend that if you have any major health problems you do not use this -- never use it alone -- Once in there it is hard to get out without sudden jerking -- and it is hard to get the jaw velcro correct. The velcro can come undone and cause a sudden jerk. Also - when they say 20 lbs max - think twice about using that 20 lbs. Again -NEVER USE THIS ALONE. HAVE SOMEONE HELP YOU. If you have serious health problems, do not use - go see a physician and have him/her prescribe a method of use (even for this product) or in office traction with a DO or other.
