Review: Finally Some Relief for My Headaches & Allergies! - This product is amazing!!!!!! I've suffered for years with seasonal allergies, including constant sinus congestion/pressure, eye pain, and severe headaches that would last for days. I'm an osteopathic medical student ("DO") & have learned both in school and through personal experience about the importance of myofascial (muscle connective tissue) release, which is the principle that the Occipivot is based on. Specifically, this product uses the "suboccipital release" technique (also known as "OA" or 'occipito-atlanto release") to relieve tension at the base of the skull. This technique helps to both alleviate headaches & improve lymphatic flow (ie, allow sinus congestion to drain from your head). I've been using this product almost daily (at least 10-15min per day) and have been able to significantly cut back on the amount of Zyrtec that I take (which used to be daily). I also rarely get headaches now and don't feel near as much pressure in my sinuses (especially behind my eyes) as I did prior to using the Occipivot. In addition, I frequently use the Occipivot to relieve muscle spasms in my back (added bonus!). Before purchasing this product, I looked at several other comparable brands/models and noticed that many of the reviews on those products mentioned that the device was too hard and uncomfortable. This Occipivot has some cushion to it but it still firm enough to effectively relieve myofascial tension. You have the option of using it two different ways -- one with the angled support side on your neck and the other with the support side toward your head. I use it both ways to target different areas depending on where the worst tension is. I'd recommend that if you've never used any type of product like this one and/or never had any osteopathic manipulation treatments that you start with the support side towards your head. The easiest way to find a good placement point is to start with the two elevated points (the ones the point toward the ceiling) on your skull (more towards the base), and then slowly slide the Occipivot downward towards your neck just until you feel the "drop off" point of your skull-- this is where the tense myofascial tissue connects to your skull. It may be slightly uncomfortable at first, but this is because your tissue is most likely very tense. You can try starting out with shorter treatment times spaced out throughout the day and work your way up to being able to rest on the Occipivot for longer periods of time. I hope this explanation makes sense and that you get the relief that you deserve! Allergies and headaches are horrible to have to live with, but I swear by this product and have seen a huge change in how I feel since using it.
Review: Finally something that helps tension headaches! - I will forever sing the praises of this. It’s one of my go to devices to help with tension headaches which incapacitate me. It’s a tool to help, it won’t cure your headaches. But I couldn’t live without it. It loosens up my muscles and stops the contractions. 10/10

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does this compare to the craniocradle?**
A: The Craniocradle is much more gentle. The Occipivot almost feels more like a strengthening tool, you can't be in it for as long. You kind of need to work up to longer times, it can make your sore.  Its a great tool, but the Cradle has more of a Myofascial Release feel to it, in my opinion.

**Q: What type of material is this made of?**
A: It's made of a hard rubber material.  It does not give when you lay on it.

**Q: Is this made in China?**
A: No.  It is made by Magister Corporation, Chattanooga TN.

**Q: did you actually restore the natural cervical curve by routinely using this device?**
A: It has helped, but I haven't had it long. My neck when set by the chiro keeps better between visits. If I miss more than 2 days of using the shaper I can tell a big difference ( bone moves out of place to press on spine). Start slow 2" then add time next week that works 👌 if you use it faster you're not see benefits and get sore and disheartened. It doesn't loose firmness so you can rock your head and get released from stress. Push right up to the shoulder when placing for best use and comfort!!! It helps well just after light stretching or yoga.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Expensive, But Uniquely Functional
*by T***T on November 20, 2014*

The Occipivot is a great item for those that experience tightness and soreness at the base of their skull and along their neck. It's not quite as effective as having a real massage therapist work out the problem areas, but the Occipivot does a nice job of reaching critical pressure points and tight muscles while you relax. The Occipivot is made of a dense, ever-so-slightly flexible, polyurethane-type foam material that should last many years. It measures approximately 8.5" wide, 4.5" deep and 4" tall. The bottom is flat and the pivot works by placing it on the ground or on a table, laying your neck or head on it and moving the pivot around to reach different areas. It really couldn't be any more simple. The "V" that cradles your head has small protruding bumps which were modeled after a real therapist's fingers. These "fingers" allow the pivot to work its magic and get into those tight spots nicely. One word of caution: It is easy to lose track of time when you're using the device and several minutes can pass by before you realize it. Unfortunately, the pin-pointed nature of the treatment can actually cause further pain and discomfort if used for too long. The manufacturer strongly recommends working up your tolerance by limiting your time with each treatment and not using the device for too long at any one time. For most people, it is best to set a timer for 2-3 minutes maximum in each position you place the pivot. Reduce the time if you are in significant pain or are new to using the device. You can always take a break from the treatment, come back later and do it again if the problem or pain persists. Ultimately, it's best to work sore and tight muscles out slowly to avoid aggravating the problem area further. If used in moderation, the Occipivot is a wonderful tool that both professionals and non-professionals alike will appreciate for its effectiveness and ease of use. I would give it 5 stars, but the price seems steep for what is ultimately a molded hunk of foam, although nothing else quite like it exists elsewhere. If you're looking at this and similar devices, don't be afraid to give the Occipivot a shot. Highly recommended!
