The Neck Stretcher
Intended to elongate the neck and improve posture, this device wrapped around the chin and head, using weights or springs to gently pull the neck upward.
Unfortunately, incorrect use could cause muscle strain or even spinal injury. The idea of pulling on your neck with mechanical force scared most users, and medical professionals warned against it. Safer stretching and strengthening exercises have since replaced this dubious contraption.
