Special pillows

Problems with neck pain

When multiple complaints occur simultaneously, doctors and therapists speak of a syndrome. Cervical syndrome is the technical term for the neck region. Typical symptoms include burning and dragging pain, among other things radiating to the shoulders, head, arms or chest. Left untreated, it threatens to sooner or later lead to what is known as a hunchback in the vernacular. Aside from targeted correction of the body posture, fitness and physiotherapy, a special pillow can help prevent and correct problems.

Cushion with a special effect

Such pillows have numerous applications. In particular, they can be beneficial for sleeping or while resting during the day. After all, people spend about a third of their life in bed. Appropriately designed pillows can provide valuable support during this time. But even when one only lies down briefly, to relax or during therapy, the benefits of a functional pillow are appreciated.

Explanation: When it comes to special pillows with a specific benefit, we distinguish between two different categories. One category is sleep pillows used as an alternative to the classic pillow in bed, the other is relaxation and therapy pillows that can be used while relaxing or by therapists for patient treatment.

What counts?

• Providing individual support for the head in any sleeping position is important in order to combat and counteract tension and bad posture. Adaptation to your needs is therefore essential.
• Many people suffer from tension in the neck and shoulder area as a result of particular conditions. In such situations, a special pillow should also gently relieve the strain on the cervical spine when resting or sleeping, easing this tension and helping to prevent it in the long term. This can be achieved by gently elongating the cervical spine, lightly supporting the thoracic spine, or incorporating supportive side elements on the pillow, for example. The exact solution depends on the shape and design concept of the special pillow in question.
• If you sleep on your side, the pillow must not put pressure on the shoulders under any circumstances. Special moulding is therefore required for physiological alignment of the head and cervical spine. Pleasant warming of the neck and shoulder area is also beneficial for relaxed positioning.
