Head Nap – Gentle Cervical Traction
TECHNIQUE
OCBR & CV4
OCBR helps release neck tension, while CV4 applies deep pressure at the back of the head to promote relaxation.
BEST FOR
Neck & Head Tension
Forward head posture, chronic neck stiffness, tension-related headaches, and sinus pressure.
Function
Gentle Pressure
Even pressure distribution along the neck line makes it easier to use—ideal as a starting point.
SESSION
20 to 40 Minutes
Short, self-guided sessions on a firm surface. Designed for daytime use, not overnight.
Designed by a physical therapist. Built on physical therapy.
Kanuda is shaped around two manual therapy techniques used to support cervical alignment and release deep tension.
CV4 — Compression of the Fourth Ventricle
Calms the nervous system through sustained pressure at the base of the skull.
OCBR — Occipital Cranial Base Release
Supports the cervical curve and relieves tension at the base of the neck.
No App. No Electricity.
Place it, lie down, gravity does the rest.
Firm enough to work. Comfortable enough to stay.
Hard plastic gets uncomfortable and collects dust.
Reaches What Foam Rollers Can't
Surface tools miss the smaller, deeper muscles where tension actually lives.
Calmer Nervous System
Stress and bad posture affect more than your body. Kanuda tells your nervous system it's safe to let go.
“I went to a chiropractor for a couple of months to relieve tense muscles in the neck and shoulder are. One of the treatments they used was a neck traction device that had to be pumped up to apply traction pressure.
In my opinion this Kanuda traction device actually works better and is easier to use, right in my own home.

“I love this product! If I have a tension headache, I will use this and it helps so much. I use it for about 10-15 minutes most nights before I go to bed. It helps get the kinks out of my neck. I’m so glad I purchased.
”
“It’s incredible! I had some severe back pain dye to several stressors and this is amazing at decompressing the spine. I tip my head back, put a little pressure on my forehead with my hand and let the weight of my sacrum pull all the way down my spine. I also love to do a little core twist on both sides… totally alleviates any physical discomforts and makes my day.
”
“I was looking for neck relief after years of computer work and a neck and shoulder issues. I have tried friends devices intended for the same use and never been impressed.
I was immediately drawn to Kanuda by its design and research. After just a few days use I am very optimistic that my ongoing issues will be helped.

I got this along with the lumbar cushion and it has helped tremendously with my cervical neck pain and sciatica nerve issues. Takes awhile to figure out where the exact position is but once you do it becomes muscle memory! Highly recommend. Great quality - you can tell it's not going to fall apart like others do right away. Nice color!
