Back of neck

A Wedge-pair configuration is shown. The Wedges correct for the curve of the neck and angle the tola 750 ‘up’ into the occipitals.

  1. Lie to settle your neck gently onto your TolaPoint.
  2. Relax your neck and use the weight of your head to generate the pressure.

  3. Important: When massaging your neck area, avoid putting pressure on your vertebral or carotid arteries. A simple rule is: never massage a pulse. Be aware however, that the pulse from your vertebral artery may be difficult to detect. Consult with your therapist or doctor if you are unsure.
