Warm first, so your neck lets go
Heat increases blood flow and relaxes muscle guarding, so your neck lets go before it's stretched. That order matters: warmth first is what keeps the traction gentle instead of forcing it.
Heat, lift and vibration can be used together or on their own. And to be clear about what this is: it isn't a deep-tissue kneading machine and we won't pretend it is. It's a warm, gentle, repeated stretch with a soothing vibration underneath — one you'll actually look forward to at the end of the day.
Then a gentle lift that repeats
A soft air cushion rises under your neck and takes the weight of your head off it, then eases down, then rises again. This is the same principle as clinic traction — a protocol physical therapists have used since 1929, at roughly 15 minutes per session.
The difference from a single hard stretch is that the lift repeats, so the release builds gradually instead of being forced. You start on the gentlest setting and turn it up only if you want more. No pulling, no cracking, no appointment.
Held in its natural curve
The 26° memory-foam contour keeps your neck in its natural curve the whole time, so the release happens in the right position — not flat, not over-arched.
Why that matters: your head weighs 10 to 12 pounds upright. Tilt it 15° toward a screen and the load on your neck rises to about 27 pounds; at 60°, about 60 pounds (Hansraj, 2014). Eight to ten screen hours a day, and your neck never gets to put that weight down. Nothing is broken in you. Nothing is "just your age." The load simply never lifts — until you give it 15 minutes where it does.

Relief you've rented. Relief you own.
If you've spent hundreds on pillows, or years with chiropractors, that wasn't you failing. Each thing you tried fixed one piece of the neck for about an hour — then you sat back down, the load returned, and within half an hour things started to tighten up again.
RuciNova does the one thing none of them do daily: it takes the weight off — warmly, gently, for 15 minutes, every day, at home. Not a cure. A release you own instead of rent.
The clinic, or your bedroom floor
A chiropractic adjustment runs about $65 to $200 a visit. A massage, $40 to $125 an hour. Consumer Reports found people spent over $200 out of pocket on average — and one in four spent $500 or more — for relief that has to be bought again every time the tension comes back.
RuciNova is $96, once. Or 4 × $24 with Shop Pay. About the price of one visit, and it's still on your bedroom floor tomorrow night.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a real massage, or does it just vibrate and inflate?
Is this a real massage, or does it just vibrate and inflate?
It's not a kneading massager and we don't sell it as one. It's warm, gentle, repeated air traction with a soothing vibration underneath. If you want deep-tissue kneading, this isn't it. If you want your neck to let go for 15 minutes at the end of the day, it is.
How is this different from a regular neck pillow?
How is this different from a regular neck pillow?
A pillow changes the angle your neck rests at. It never lifts the weight off. RuciNova warms the muscles first, then a soft air cushion gently lifts your head, eases down, and lifts again — the same principle as clinic traction — while the 26° memory-foam contour holds your neck in its natural curve. It's a 15-minute session, not something you sleep on.
How long does a session take?
How long does a session take?
Fifteen minutes, lying down, once or twice a day. Start with about 5 minutes on the gentlest setting for your first few sessions and build up from there. Don't exceed 30 minutes, and don't use it while sleeping. Most people make it the last thing they do before bed.
Could traction make my neck worse? Is it safe for me?
Could traction make my neck worse? Is it safe for me?
Start on the gentlest setting. The lift is gradual and repeated rather than one hard pull, and you can turn it down or switch it off at any point — the goal is release, not force. If you're pregnant, have had neck or spinal surgery, have an implanted medical device such as a pacemaker, or are being treated for a neck or spine condition, check with your doctor first. Not intended for children.
Do I have to stay plugged in?
Do I have to stay plugged in?
No. It's cordless and recharges over USB-C, so you can use it on the floor, the couch or the bed without a cable running to the wall. Charge it fully before the first session.
What should I expect to feel?
What should I expect to feel?
Warmth first, then a slow, gentle lift under your neck that eases and repeats, with a soft vibration underneath. It should feel like a stretch you'd want to stay in, not one you brace against. If it ever feels like more than that, turn it down. It's not a cure and we don't promise one — it's 15 minutes where the weight comes off. Results vary from person to person.
Will it fit my neck?
Will it fit my neck?
Rest the back of your neck in the contoured channel and shift up or down until the curve meets the base of your skull — it usually takes a session or two to find your spot. If it doesn't suit your neck, the 60-day money-back guarantee covers it: contact us and we'll refund you in full.
Will it replace my chiropractor or physical therapist?
Will it replace my chiropractor or physical therapist?
No. It isn't a medical device and it doesn't treat or cure any condition. Many people who use it still see their clinician and use RuciNova on the nights in between. If that's you, this was built for those nights.
What if it isn't right for me?
What if it isn't right for me?
Use it for 60 days. If it isn't the part of your evening you look forward to, contact us through our Contact Us page with your order number and we'll refund you in full. Real people answer, and the guarantee follows the pillow — if it was a gift, the person using it can contact us directly.
Is it a good gift?
Is it a good gift?
It's cordless and simple to use, and it reads as "I noticed you're always tight after the desk," not "here is equipment." The 60-day guarantee works for the person using it, not just the person who bought it. Still have questions before ordering? Visit our Contact Us page — we're happy to help.
