In order to understand how the HALO works, we must first have an understanding of what creates most headaches, back, neck and shoulder pain. As mentioned previously, a majority of this pain comes from STRESS caused by EXTENDED physical daily activities such as driving, using the computer or operating machinery.
Another form of stress is EMOTIONAL STRESS. Activities such as, multi-tasking, tight schedules, traffic jams, conflict, can stir up strong inner emotions, which can result in headache, neck, shoulder and back pain.
Simply put, our level of emotional stress is a by-product of how we interact with others both at the work place and at home. For many of us, the effects of physical and/or emotional stress results in neck and shoulder pain.
The HALO is designed to perform two functions;
1. Stop pain that develops in the head, back, neck and shoulders, which is mostly caused by daily stress, poor posture or a combination of both.
2. Strengthen the inner core neck muscles, which, support the head and keep the joints in the neck properly aligned and correct posture.
The HALO works by simply increasing the blood supply to the affected areas and strengthening core neck muscles.
The tubular portion of the HALO consists of weighted material of a slight amount (1LB) and when worn properly, releases tense muscles, connective tissues, ligaments in the neck and shoulders,and increases blood flow to the head. As a result, pain in those areas is reduced.
