"The Curve Restorer comprises an elastic strap that is pulled
into the mid rearward neck as the user grasps the two forward handles. Pulling with a light force
of a few pounds, the user is able to stretch the neck forward slightly, allowing the two rearward curves
to contact the head and shoulder region.
At this point, a series of exercises are performed against resistance
coils to strengthen the major muscles of the neck and upper back. As the user places the elastic strap to the mid-neck and
pulls forward to position the rearward curve to the skull base and shoulder, approximately 4 pounds of
forward pressure is exerted by the elastic strap on the mid-cervical spine. When the product and
patient are positioned in this fashion, and as the patient maintains forward pull on the handles, a series
of exercises is performed. Ten minutes of daily exercise is sufficient to strengthen the major muscles
of the neck and upper back.
Cautions and Considerations
The exercises needed to strengthen the cervical muscles are
somewhat strenuous, and like any exercise routine, need to commence slowly. Patients with
unstable cervical spines, or patients having spines with advanced degenerative changes, are
advised only to use this device with the consent of their doctor. As with any treatment, good judgment should be exercised.
Should symptoms flair, the regimen should be discontinued until it can be determined that the
patient has sufficient healing or capacity for the exercises.
A patient education and instructional video is included with
each unit to teach the exercises."
