Great addition to our clinic for treatment and exercises
The Wedge has been a wonderful addition to our Physiotherapy clinic. So useful for treatment and for exercises. It’s becoming a common addition to people’s sitting room once you have tried it the whole family enjoys using it. It’s enjoyable to use and great at counter acting the daily flexing :) Would recommend it to any clinic
Game changer for our Pilates classes & physio appointments
We've started using the OptiNeck Balance Wedge in our Pilates classes and our clients absolutely love them! We're able to teach clients an effective way to alleviate back, neck and shoulder pain in a class setting, and many have now purchased their own to continue the exercises independently at home. I've also been using the wedge in physio appointments, aiding in mobilisation techniques and optimising patient positioning during treatments, and it's helping my patients get better quicker as well as making the techniques I'm using as a physio easier to implement. Highly recommended for all instructors and physios to have in their clinics!
The Wedge and Travel Wedge are game…
The Wedge and Travel Wedge are game changers- somehow - unlike anything else - they are deeply relaxing to the whole body - but especially the neck and back - as you breathe in deep and lie or exercise upon them - and seem to realign both as if magic!
The travel version is a great addition for people like me who are always on the go- and when I am home - I have one up and the other downstairs! The Travel Wedge works exactly like the real thing and comes in two pieces- so it is amazingly easy to pack- and of course light weight!
Quick & easy but creates powerful changes
I have hEDS and associated long term problems with neck pain. My thoracic and cervical spine posture is incorrect. Also 2 of my cervical vertebrae were kind of stuck together.
I've been using the wedge for a month or so now and it's making such a difference. Quick and easy to do the exercises but the impact is huge! Those 2 vertebrae are no longer stuck and now articulate freely. My everyday posture is improved. I like the pendant and ponytail tip too.
I have a way to go, but so far I'm really pleased.

Excellent company, excellent product
While shipping and duties were very expensive to have my order sent to Canada, I'm very glad that I ordered. Came via FedEx, and the order was filled quickly.
The Balance Wedge has helped me *enourmously* since I've been using it daily, following the Optineck videos. I have hEDS, and have cervical vertebrae that subluxate -- my neck is feeling a lot better with daily use. I also find that pelvic tilts and bridges are more effective done on the Balance Wedge.

So far so good!
So far so good! After attending a workshop for the Optineck Wedge I’ve been using it with my Pilates clients and it’s been really well received so far - we’ve kept to a basic introduction but they are all keen to use it at their next session.

Simple and super effective!
My husband brought a Wedge home after it was recommended by Michael O Reilly (who created it) and I’ve been using it too! It’s absolutely brilliant for realigning the spine especially after hunching over a computer for hours. It’s such a simple thing yet super effective!

The Wedge
I’ve been using ‘The Wedge’ created by Physio Michael O’Reilly for the past couple of months. Not only is it easy to use, It has transformed my posture and I’ve grown an inch, possibly more as it has straightened my back and neck. I now stand up straight and feel so much fitter and stronger. The wedge is so simple and yet so effective!

Recommended by my excellent phiso
Recommended by my excellent phiso. My posture has got really bad. Within two days of using this I am standing upright. I'm so pleased and will continue to use regularly as phiso has told me too. A sound investment. I would highly recommend for anyone who is suffering from bad posture.

Genuinely transformational benefit
It's extraordinary that such a (conceptually) simple device can deliver quite so transformational a health outcome. Suffered neck pain for 35 years (damaged vertebrae C3-6); had more than 200 physio interventions, but since starting use of this in 2022, I've been pain-free (and physio-free!). Also upper back feels more resilient, more open, stronger. Thank you. Simon (aged 67)

Rolling out this new style roller has been a great relief to me personally. My neck, shoulders and back have never felt better!

A great addition for stretching tired muscles
Previously I used a regular roller which was great! With the Optineck I find my stretching is more localised and effective for the shoulders and neck region. The joy experienced when you remove it is heavenly and enhances your ability to stand up with better posture.
I use it daily.

Very impressed and feel better every time I use it.
Always skeptical of something being too simple to work, but boy this didn’t disappoint.
As someone who has played a lot of rugby over 36 years and drives 30000miles plus a year, my back, mid back and neck have become worse. The OptiNeck is now part of my daily routine, before heading out, days in the office and upon return from seeing clients, the relief is almost instant (it was for me) and the more I use it the better I feel. I pair this with the Iron Neck for a complete mobilisation and strengthening routine.
Very impressed. Thank you

This is fantastic to aid neck exercises and hip strengthening/streches. Infact my whole family all love the wedge- It has the added bonus of it being surprisingly comfortable to watch tv on!

Every clinic should have one!
I'm a Physiotherapist and clinic owner. I bought an Optineck last week and have already found it really useful for my patients with neck and shoulder pain, giving us an extra dimension for our rehab. Our patients love it too!
I do believe every clinic should have this simple but highly effective tool at their disposal

I love my wedge
I love my wedge! It's been a game changer, with sitting for extended periods of time at a desk, relieving my neck tension and pain. 10mins of exercises on the wedge keeps me pain free and mobile - a revelation! Thanks Michael and the team for developing the kit and exercises that make the wedge such a winner in our house! Wouldn't be without it now.

The feedback of reviewers and the website make this sound exactly like what I need.
When will you ship to the U.S.? You can't still hold the Tea Party against us. Please help, 69 yrs old, made it through a heart transplant, can now be sidelined by my years of computer desk work.

I suffered with neck and shoulder pain…
I suffered with neck and shoulder pain for over 10 years, due to sitting at a computer desk. I tried several different chairs but nothing helped. After an MRI scan pointing out that i had the start of arthritis and bone spurs, I tried osteopathy, chiropractors and physios, although i did not feel any results. My neck got worse recently and I was finally recommended Michael O'Reilly at Weybridge Physio. I cannot believe my luck! He provided me with the Optineck Balance Wedge and a set of exercises, I can honestly say that within the first 2 days my pain improved by 50 percent! After using it for 2 weeks I now feel hardly any pain and my back is starting to straighten itself out naturally. I am carrying on life as usual. I am much happier at work. I cannot be more grateful and happy that I met Michael and started at Weybridge physio. I would recommend the Balance Wedge for anyone who is struggling with back and neck pain.

I have recently purchased the Optineck wedge and thanks to using it daily as part of my physio programme I am on the road to recovery!! At one point I could never imagine being out of the pain and discomfort that I was in. I highly recommend the optineck wedge for anyone in neck/shoulder pain.
Antidote to screen posture
The Balance Wedge, combined with Michael's physiotherapy, has really helped me overcome debilitating neck and shoulder pain. I use it most days for about 15 mins. Using it regularly and doing recommended exercises, reduces my need for physio appointments. It's cost effective. I highly recommend it for anyone who spends a lot of time working at a screen.
