Benefits of technology
The patent describes a better way to exercise the neck that is safer and more effective. It prevents damage to the spine and reduces the risk of pain and injury. This device is easier to use and more cost-effective.
Problems solved by technology
The problem with this recommendation is that it puts the clients into a very awkward physical position.
The muscles in the shoulders and arms of the clients fatigue rapidly and the clients tend to discontinue the neck exercises before the neck really gets the benefit of the intended isometric neck exercise routine.
This positioning of the ball is very uncomfortable for the client as the ball can move around and even fall to the ground causing the client's head to collide with force against the wall because the client's full body weight is propelling the collision with the wall.
Prior art neck exercise devices such as neck head harnesses and four way neck machines promote shearing forces since the cervical spine is repeatedly flexed and extended under heavy load which can lead to cervical neck disk herniation, particularly if used improperly or under excessive load.
Additionally, such devices are expensive and otherwise complex and difficult to use properly.
However, such machines have a number of associated neck disk herniations (the cervical section of the spine).

Embodiment Construction
[0017]In one embodiment as illustrated in FIGS. 1-5, an isometric neck exercise device 10 (hereinafter device 10) is shown having a headband 12, four attachment pads 14 on each of the primary facings of headband 12 (front, rear, and both sides), a set of wall blocks 18 located on each of the four attachment pads 14, with each wall block 18 having its own connection element 16 for either connecting it to an attachment pad 14 of headband 12 or to another connection element 16 on another block.
[0018]In one embodiment, each of blocks 18 and headband 12 may be made from EVA foam or some similar soft sturdy material that is lightweight. It is noted that headband 12 may be of a flexible material or otherwise adjustable in size to ensure proper fit on different sized heads. Attachment pads 14 and connection elements 16 may be made, for example, of hook and loop material (e.g. Velcro™). It is understood that material selection discussed herein is exemplary and not intended to limit the scope...

An isometric neck exercise device includes a headband and a plurality of wall blocks attached to the headband, configured to allow a wearer to place the headband on his or her head and lean at least one of the wall blocks against a wall for an isometric exercise.
Description
RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of priority from United States Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 764,076, the entirety of which is incorporated by reference.FIELD OF INVENTION[0002]The present arrangement is directed to an Isometric Neck Exercise Device for strengthening the human neck and to relieve neck pain and discomfort.DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART[0003]Isometric exercises for the human neck are the safest and the most effective way to strengthen the neck and to relieve neck pain. Experts in the field of human physiology typically recommend that clients use their own hands to provide resistance during isometric exercises for the neck. The problem with this recommendation is that it puts the clients into a very awkward physical position. The muscles in the shoulders and arms of the clients fatigue rapidly and the clients tend to discontinue the neck exercises before the neck really gets the benefit of the intended isometric neck exercise routine.[0...
