<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a neck stiffness relieving instrument 1 stably applicable to the neck 6 in a position away from the shoulders 7 and applying force almost perpendicularly to the neck 6 as well as pressing so that a ridge 2e of a top part bites into the flesh of the neck 6, and to provide a method for relieving the stiffness of the neck that can obtain an effect of appropriately relieving the stiffness of the neck 6. <P>SOLUTION: The neck stiffness relieving instrument 1 with the top part 2a provided almost vertically is adapted to set a top angle 2b which is an angle between a head side upper inclined surface 2f and a shoulder side upper inclined surface 2g of the top part 2a to 85-95° and to round the angle of the ridge 2e of the top part to a radius of 0.5-2.5 mm. A relieving instrument body 2 and a plurality of raising bases 3 are combined to adjust the height of the neck stiffness relieving instrument 1. The method for relieving the stiffness of the neck is carried out by rolling the neck 6 laterally on the ridge 2e of the top part of the neck stiffness relieving instrument 1. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
