Product Description
For over 20 years, the Pivotal Therapy System has been used by physical therapists, massage therapists, and chiropractors to treat soft tissue issues related to the spine. By nature, it takes time to slowly re-posture the spine and its soft tissues. Based on the progressive increments of time and gravity, this system strengthens muscles which helps maintain healthy spinal alignment. Each component of the Pivotal Therapy System may be used individually to address a patientÕs specific problem or the whole system can be used to treat the entire spine. Also available: Ask how to Download the Pivotal Therapy System Instruction Guide (147 KB PDF) Occipivot Used individually, the Occipivot, which concentrates on the Occiput (back of the head), can be used to treat tension and stress syndromes which include headaches, Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ), cervical syndrome, and tension at the base of the skull. Cervical Pivot The Cervical Pivot is useful as a substitute for gentle cervical traction and can also be used as a self-mobilization and strengthening tool. It promotes self-release for the sternocleidomastoid (the muscle that runs down the side of the neck), upper trapezius (the shoulder blade area), and 1st ribs. Short & Standard Thoracic Pivot The Short Thoracic Pivot can be used for craniosacral self-treatment (CST), which involves the therapist working the key muscles of the spine and skull. It can also be used as a sacral wedge for mobilization, as a rib release tool, and for sternal and anterior rib mobilization. Standard Lumbar Pivot The Standard Lumbar Pivot corrects lordosis, the inward curvature of the spine. It can also be used as a platform for treating pain in the lower back, buttocks, and legs, which are the main symptoms of lumbar dysfunction.

An Answer to all your neck problems,
By
This review is from: Pivotal Therapy Occipivot - Pivotal Therapy System Component
The Occipivot is a wonderful device. My physical therapist had recommended it to me and I use it all the time when I get chronic tension in neck. The neck rest is used in a supine position on a flat surface and placed at the base of the skull. As the firm points on the neck rest are placed on the tense areas of the neck, it creates an accupressure effect which releases the tension. I don't review things at all and this is a wonder tool for chronic sufferers of neck pain. Oh, I am also a yoga instructor and registered nurse. As all new remedies, please seek the guidance of your health care provider.

This review is from: Pivotal Therapy Occipivot - Pivotal Therapy System Component
This product offers some relief for the tight neck muscles that bother me at the top of my neck. It's a little difficult to find a comfortable position on it, but once you do, a few minutes a day using it can help

Very Helpful,

This review is from: Pivotal Therapy Occipivot - Pivotal Therapy System Component
As a Physical Therapist Assistant, I have found the occipivot to be a very useful item. I purchased this occipivot for my own home use, however my clinic also has an occipivot which we use for certain patients with neck pain.
