Will this pull back a forward head into proper alignment? Due to scoliosis and rounded shoulders, my neck and head juts forward.

Probably could help if you use it consistently and properly. When I first started using this it was quite painful and I can really see the difference after a few months. My chiropractor highly recommended it and I trust him.

It should help, my chiropractor recommend this for me because I have degenerating disc in my neck and my head falls forward but he said don't do more than 10 minutes at a time it will make you too sore.

That's what it's supposed to do when used properly and for a long enough period of time. However, my chiro recommended that I do no more than 2 pumps (it goes up to 6) to start and only for a few minutes. I have an extremely painful bulging disc. So it isn't going to work overnight... it will take a long time and dedication. However, you can look at the time you use it as relaxation and meditation time.

If used properly, i feel it will help your situation--this is NOT a cure and may take several weeks to months for you to feel relief.

I would assume so, since it's guided by your middle finger and the head pivots up and down to the contour of your body.

I'm pretty sure that is a no. It reclines mostly to adjust to be rear and forward facing.

As I use this device for posture support and do not have an injury I can put in on by myself. I adjust the tightness with it off first then I raise both hands over my head and slide it down so it is loosely on top of my shoulders. I then pull one shoulder back at a time to get it in position. Someone with an injury, such as a clavicle fracture which is what this device is designed for, would need assistance to get it in place.

Check the website manual but I believe it's only forward. Also, the recline position is not a drastic recline, just slight.

I can see, by this pic, why you would think that but I never had any issue doing lat pull downs to my chest. Regardless of what machine I'm using, I usually have a slight lean backwards when I do them and my lean might be why I've never noticed an issue with it.

Yes, otherwise the air pressure in the neck brace will cause your head to fall backwards, and that will probably cause more of a problem.

Not one of us have the same spine, pelvis, shoulders or neck, not one of us will benefit from the same tilt which may change over time as posture may improve.

yeah I have used it on my neck and my upper shoulders. It has a setting displayed for neck and shoulder use.

Hi Margret, YES it is very adjustable, and I can't imagine that it wouldn't fit "anybody"! I have had Scoliosis since birth, and after I purchased it, I wore it for the recommended times, and it actually worked. So much so that I had to stop wearing it, because my neck is also curved, and while it was straightening my shoulders, it is not made for straightening "NECKS" Soooooooooooo, as my shoulders were getting better posture my NECK didn't straighten, and it made my neck hurt worse! If you just need it for posture, or sitting at a computer, the thing is GREAT. As you can tell, I can't wear mine anymore, so if you want it, just pay the actual cost of shipping, and I'll GIVE it to you! It's just sitting in my closet, and it would a shame not to give it to someone who really could benefit from it!

I believe mine swivelled when I first got it. You need to tighten the screw a bit. Not too much or you will not get the spring motion. The head should swivel maybe a 1/4" from side to side. I tightened mine too much when I first got it and it didn't have the spring in/out motion. I adjusted the screw and it's been fine ever since.

I don't think the shoulder brace would help with your posture. I would try a brace for lower back for that issue. This brace really relieves shoulder joint and rotator cuff pain for me.

Yes. It's a pain in the neck. Just keep wiggling and pressing in. They'll work back into alignment eventually

Not really because it doesn't go around behind your neck; it sits on your shoulder. I dislike U-shaped ones because of the forward head push so this worked better than those. However, I do wish that there was a sturdier infrastructure because the weight of my head was too much for the stuffing after awhile and my head would fall forward. Overall, I don't regret buying it but it wasn't the perfect thing I was hoping for. So close though!

Yes it does leans forward. That's the only thing I don't like about this chair. Hope that will help.

I purchased this model close to a year ago...the head will pivot down from shown to 90 degrees...it will also pivot 360 degrees the other way (like holding your hand out palm down and rotating it palm up)....i've been very happy....good luck!

On my bike it made a difference. The stem was long with no upward angle. This stem is shorter with an upward angle. It seems like over all my forward lean was reduced by 5 or 6 degrees which in my case relieved the pain between my shoulders and neck. I've been very happy with this mod to my bike. If it will work the as well for you I don't know.
