It was suggested that I start with 10lbs for 10minutes. Being a little timid, I started with 8lbs for 5 minutes. After a week, I gradually stepped up to the suggested weight and time. It has helped me tremendously along with my chiropractic adjustments. The device is easy to assemble and the harness is very comfortable. I love it.

The unit is quite confusing - when trying to figure out how to put on the face strap I had to watch a youtube video to see what - went - where, then there was the decision as to what door to hang it on. You would'nt think it would be hard to decide what door [ not all are adequate] and where you'd like to sit [ and for what seems to be an eternity.] We had to keep disconecting the bag to fill it with more water and I never seemed to get it at the right weight. For me it seemed alot of work and no reward. The price of this one was the best on ebay and it seems to be made to last - its just a shame I'll probably never use it again.

Pkg arrived in good condition and quickly - I actually bought 2 - one for me and one for my son who also has a neck injury. Luckily , they were under 18.00 each - so I didn't waste too much money. Pain to put together, you need two people to get hooked into it - once you figure it out. Directions were useless, the chin strap does not want to stay where it should (to be hooked up)- the bag of water is a pain -and where do you store it till the next time? So, you dump it all out and have to start all over again . Does it help my neck? Nope -could barely feel it stretching or pulling my neck. So - save your money!

The plastic pulleys are too small for the rope that comes in the kit. I had to buy new pulleys in order for it to work properly. the rope would get stuck in the original pulleys and hold the weight of the bag, themselves. That prevented it from applying traction to my neck. You can either buy new pulleys or smaller rope. I opted to buy new pulleys because the ones provided are poor quality anyway. After modification, the item worked fine.

These comments are not a negative reflection on the seller. Velcro on the chin strap are too close together making it hard for a person with a large neck to wear - meaning that it may cut off the blood supply to your head. However, extra heavy duty velcro can be added to accommodate, which makes it OK for bigger necks. This product is a very good price. Water bladder (weight) can be filled to 20 pounds, but would suggest starting a 8 pounds or less. Easily fits over most doors. It's been very helpful for me.
