Chronic forward head posture and neck tension – often due to excessive screen use – contributes to muscular imbalances, headaches and overall stress. In addition, nearly half of all adults regularly report neck pain.
That's why German firm Wooden Toolz has collaborated with medical professionals and physiotherapists to create Neck King: a neck stretcher with a 26˚ angle to help decompress the cervical spine, improve circulation and aid relaxation.
Made from a choice of sustainably-sourced wood, such as maple or abachi, in a minimalist design, Neck King is specifically intended for use in saunas.
However, founder Mirko Malec, says it's also an "excellent tool for meditation", that it could be used before treatments to enhance efficacy or bridge the gaps between services, or could simply be placed in cool-down areas or relaxation spaces for guests to discover.
"True luxury lies in nature's simplicity," Malec says. "Neck King invites guests to reconnect with posture, presence and sustainable living."
