As a boxer and gymnast, Joseph Pilates felt it was very important to elongate and strengthen the muscles of the neck. As an accessory to the Cadillac (Trap Table), he designed the Neck Stretcher to target those muscles and offer practitioners additional benefits including:
- Strengthens and stretches the muscles of the neck, spine and back
- Releases tension in the upper back
- Stabilizes the spine
- Improves overall postural alignment by bringing head in line with spine
THE CONTROLOGY DIFFERENCE REMOVABLE HEAD STRAP
Based on Joe’s original design, the Neck Stretcher is made of durable, high-quality zinc plated steel. Ours is the only Neck Stretcher with a removable head strap which makes it easy to wash. The head strap is 2”/5cm wide and made of cotton webbing.
FOR ADVANCED PRACTITIONERS
Joe designed the Neck Stretcher to be used by experienced Pilates practitioners. The spring resistance attached to the head strap is very strong, so care must be taken when it is in use. We recommend that clients be supervised by certified Pilates instructors with strong experience using the Neck Stretcher. Works with both Cadillac Leg and Arm Springs.
