One user wrote, 'Neck pain cured by new neck trauma, I guess." 'Some of them sleep forever after their treatment." Talking about the inspiration behind the technique, the facility founder told Viory that he has suffered from cervical spondylosis, which caused dizziness, headaches, and insomnia that made it hard to sleep. So, he started researching the root causes and found that all stem from small joint dislocations in the cervical spine. He claimed to have created the neck-hanging device as a self-therapy tool and has also registered the item for trademark and copyright and sought a national patent. 'Now, I spend every day in this park doing public welfare activities, helping many ordinary people solve their cervical spine problems," he told Viory. This workout is becoming increasingly common in mainland Chinese elders since it is said to help with cervical spondylosis and difficulties with the cervical vertebrae. Doctors advise avoiding using 'neck-hanging fitness" incorrectly, as this can damage muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerve tissue; worsen the condition; and even increase the chance of paralysis or other life-threatening problems.
