Every massage, pill and stretch you've tried worked on the muscle sitting on top. None of them lifted the weight underneath — which is why the relief was gone within the hour.

Neck pain is a recurring-revenue business.
A massage feels incredible for an afternoon. An adjustment holds until Friday. A cushion helps for a week. Every one of them works just enough to bring you back — and not enough to end the problem.
That isn't a conspiracy. It's a targeting error nobody bothered to correct. All of it acts on the surface muscle, and the surface muscle was never the cause.
So you keep paying $60–$100 a session, keep buying the next device, and slowly decide this is just what your neck is now.
The cause
It's caused by load — and here's what that actually means.
Upright, your head weighs about 10 to 12 pounds. Tilted forward to the angle you're probably at right now, the load on your cervical spine reaches around 60 pounds — the widely-cited biomechanical model published by Kenneth Hansraj in Surgical Technology International (2014).
And you don't hold that for a moment. Estimates put the average person at 700 to 1,400 hours a year with their head tilted forward. If you're past 40, you're carrying the compound interest on every one of those hours already logged.
Sustained load presses down through the cushions between your vertebrae.
The small gaps where nerve roots exit your spine get tighter under that load.
Your deep neck muscles hold a bowling ball at the end of a bent crane, all day. They never get to stop.
No massage, heat pad or stretch reaches past step three. Which is exactly why the industry keeps selling them to you.
The answer
Illustration of the decompression mechanism. Not a depiction of individual results.
Muscles that have braced for years don't let go on command. Heat is what convinces them to — without it, the tissue resists the stretch.
The immediate, satisfying release across the knots at the base of your skull. Not the destination — the clearing.
Adjustable cervical traction gently elongates your neck, creating space between the vertebrae and easing the compressive force through the discs.
A massager only ever performs steps one and two. It stays on the surface, because that's all a massager can physically reach.

What to expect
Experiences vary from person to person. Here's what the sequence is designed to do, and roughly when people tell us they notice each part.
This part you already know from a good massage — warmth through the muscle, kneading across the tight band at the base of your skull.
Most people describe it as length rather than pressure — a stretch through the back of the neck instead of a rub on top of it. Start at the lowest setting and work up.
Ten minutes before bed stops being a task you remember to do. This is the point most people say the routine actually stuck.
A month of daily use is enough to judge honestly — which is why the guarantee runs 60 days, not 14.
Descriptions of what the sequence is designed to do and what customers commonly report. Individual experiences vary. Not a claim of medical outcome.
The evidence
Instead of a percentage on a badge, here's the actual state of the science on cervical traction — including the part that doesn't flatter it.
The American Physical Therapy Association's neck pain guideline gives mechanical intermittent cervical traction a Grade B recommendation when combined with other interventions.
Blanpied PR et al. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther. 2017;47(7):A1–A83.Pooled trials found adding traction to physical therapy reduced neck pain at short- and long-term follow-up, with smaller effects on function and disability.
Romeo A et al. Phys Ther. 2018;98(4):231–242.A separate review found the pain reduction statistically significant but questioned whether it was clinically meaningful for radicular pain.
Colombo C et al. J Clin Med. 2020;9(11):3389.Most brands would leave it out. We're including it because you've almost certainly been burned by a page that showed you only the good half.
Two things worth knowing: the strongest evidence is for nerve-related neck pain, not general stiffness. And these studies looked at traction units in clinics — no study has been run on Reclyne™ specifically, and we won't imply otherwise.
What isn't in dispute is the mechanism. Traction creates space. That's the step your massager cannot perform.
We know what you pictured when you read "traction" — a strap under your chin and a weight over a doorframe. Reclyne™ works the opposite way.
Flat on your back, head cradled. No hanging, no chin strap, no body weight through your neck.
The most common complaint about neck massagers is holding them in place. You don't hold Reclyne™. You lie on it.
Capped at [TEMP]. It cannot exceed it, no matter how long you use it.
Switches itself off at [N] minutes. Fall asleep on it if you like.
Some of the people who want this most have a herniated or bulging disc, spondylosis, arthritis, a pinched nerve, a fusion, or an injury history. Cervical traction is used clinically for some of these — and it is not appropriate for others.
Talk to your doctor or physical therapist first, and show them what it is. If they say no, don't buy it. If you already have, send it back inside the 60 days and we'll refund you without argument. We'd rather lose the sale than have you use this on a neck it isn't right for.
Ten minutes. Lying down. That's the entire commitment.
On the bed, the floor, the couch. Head into the cradle. Nothing to hold, nothing to strap on.
Heat, vibration, traction level. Start at the lowest and move up only when you want to.
Heat opens the muscle, massage clears the surface, traction lifts the load. It shuts itself off.

Kneads the surface muscle. Cannot decompress — and most require you to hold them against your own neck.
Fast surface percussion, held at arm's length. No heat, no traction, no relief from the load underneath.
These do decompress — crudely, with a chin strap and your own body weight. It's why "traction" has a bad name.
Passive support for eight hours. Comfortable, and structurally does nothing about the compression.

Real customers, in their own words. We publish the four-star reviews too.
“Married to a chiropractor for almost 20 years, so you’d think my neck would be perfect — but between desk work and life, I still get tightness and text neck like everyone else. I didn’t want to keep asking my husband to work on me after he’s treated patients all day, so I went looking for something I could use on my own.”
Rebecca F. · Verified Customer“Comfortable, heats up fast, and the massage really helps with neck and shoulder tension. Controls are easy to use and it looks sleek. Comes with a storage bag, so it’s easy to travel with. Well made, effective, and great value.”
Diana K. · Verified Customer“Had my doubts, but it helps me. Everyone’s different — the stretch was perfect for me. Just enough to feel it, not enough to aggravate it, though for some it might be too much. Heat was amazing. The vibration is loud, but I still almost nodded off. Time will tell how long it lasts, but it seems very well built — the stitching is really good.”

The guarantee
You've been let down by this category before — you have a drawer of evidence. So we're not asking you to believe us. We're asking you to test us, on your own neck, in your own bed.
Use it every day. If the stiffness doesn't ease, if your mornings feel the same, if it just isn't for you — email hello@lumorage.com and we'll refund you in full. No restocking fee. No hoops.
The only thing that can't be refunded is another year of waking up and checking how bad it is today.
