Testimonials:

“In August of 1998 I received whiplash from an auto accident. I do nightly therapy and aerobic exercise in a swimming pool. My neck continued to be stiff and I still had constant discomfort in my neck and lower back muscles. The first time I used REAL-Ease I received instant relief. I have been using REAL-Ease for about 30 days and when I returned to my Chiropractor, whom I have been seeing for a year and a half, he commented on how happy he was with my recent progress. I didn’t tell him about using REAL-Ease but he did change my appointments for twice a month to once a month. I am very grateful for Dr. Riter’s REAL-Ease because I am about to do things today that used to cause me pain and discomfort before purchasing my REAL-Ease neck and shoulder relaxer.” Bill Horn

“About four years ago my doctor told me that I had degenerative disc disease in the first vertebra of my neck. He prescribed muscle relaxants and I was given a cervical traction device which was supposed to gently pull the vertebra apart and alleviate pinched nerves. The device was cumbersome and extremely inconvenient and eventually I stopped using it. I saw REAL-Ease in a catalog and assumed it wouldn’t work but decided to give it a try. I only used it occasionally at first. Then, almost a year ago when I was moving I decided to use it once a day, sometimes more. I was amazed. In spite of the lifting and moving, I didn’t have a nerve pinched or even one day of immobility. The REAL-Ease gave me enough relief from the tension in my neck and shoulders that I don’t use the traction device at all anymore. Thank you for this simples device that is simply wonderful. It has become an invaluable part of my every day pain management and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone!" Wendy M. Jiacoletti

“It is a pleasure to report to your company that I am completely without neck and shoulder pain. I am also free of the associated back and sciatic pain that was sure to follow neck and shoulder pain. The credit is given to the REAL-EaSE neck and shoulder relaxer. I have had more than one trauma to my neck and back. The damage done ultimately resulted in a thinning of disk material between vertebra, which caused constant tendon pain, sore, swollen upper arms, pectoral and neck tendons. At times the pain radiated into the thumb and middle finger. After twenty-five years of every imaginable treatment, I decided I would only loose $35.00 if this didn’t help. At some point, I was so desperate I tried sleeping on the apparatus. In the morning I was enormously improved. I slept on it all night for months. Eventually, I learned that two or more hours were sufficient to maintain a perfectly pain-free condition I also believe the natural curve of my neck has been restored. Thank you.” Jo Thomas

"Dr. Riter's REAL-EaSE is simple, elegant, and effective. I find it useful in both the prevention and treatment of neck pain, headaches, and spasms." Daniel J. Bressler, MD

"I use REAL-EaSE daily because I get instant results. First thing in the morning and last thing at night, the slight cervical traction releases any kinks I might have acquired. I fall easily into a deep state of restfulness that refreshes me before my next activity or prepares me for sleep. I even take REAL-EaSE with me when I travel. It's such a simple but useful self-care tool." Mirka Knaster, MA LMT

"As a Massage Therapist, I ordered one of the REAL-EaSE neck supports to try for my clients and myself. I had several of my clients lie on it for 10-15 minutes before I worked on them and their muscle spasms were already released almost 50%. The muscles were relaxed and much easier to work. The relief they experienced was wonderful and they were very impressed with the results. The REAL-Ease has been very effective in relieving my pain as well; in fact, I ordered a second one so I could have one at home and one at my office. I would definitely recommend it for anyone with a sore neck. Thank you! "Jackie Topping, President Cottonwood School of Massage Therapy

"I am a Physical Therapist and have been using the REAL-Ease since I first discovered it in the Yoga Journal. I recommend it to my patients who have cervical problems and headaches. My co-workers love that I keep one on hand for us.

More recently I have had my patients use the REAL-Ease while doing back bends on the therapy balls. It provides a comfortable support for those with limited range of motion.

The advertising is true. Ten to fifteen minutes is all it takes to feel an improvement. Thanks for carrying a truly great product." Rita McDonagh-Noble, PT LMT

"I recently purchased the REAL-Ease relaxer and wanted you to know that, along with my body slant, this is one item I will be using for many years to come. Immediately upon using it I felt better, relaxed and contented. Similar to the feelings I have after a good body massage. I will recommend your product!!" Anne McConville
