Alignment first. Comfort follows.
The Nap series uses physical therapy–inspired design to decompress and realign the cervical spine in short, targeted sessions.
Watch our how-to-use video to see it in action.
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 have chronic occipital neuralgia from nerve and muscle tension in my neck and this nap pillow has been a game changer. It massages deep into the spots that need relief and helps prevent my migraines. I use it most days for like 20 minutes and can feel the tension melt away. My PT recommended it to me and I also HIGHLY recommend for anyone dealing with similar issues. No complaints, very robust material.

There's a bit of breaking in period (for your neck!) But once you're more used to it those sessions feel great. Between this and my Piano pillow my neck feels much better in the mornings

This nap has helped release tightness in areas that denner rolls, chiropractors, and my attempts at stretching and self massage cant seem to reach. Take the whole moving your arms around gently while you are laying on it, and this can really help loosen those tight areas.

The nap is amazing! The stretch of the neck is felt instantly and regular use made me feel lighter and less tight in the neck and upper shoulders. The head is clearer too!
