Neck, shoulder and upper thoracic pain is a growing problem in society
British adults now spend well over 7 hours a day in front of screens. It's reshaping how we move, our biomechanics, our postural balance.
Rehab professionals across the country are seeing it. A steep rise in patients presenting with neck pain, shoulder pain, upper thoracic pain and headaches.
Most of it traces back to the same root cause: how we move, and how we spend our days.
As clinicians, you have the skills and experience to tackle exactly these problems. But this particular epidemic poses a different challenge.
The moment your patient walks out of the treatment room, they walk straight back into the environment that caused it.
And when the pain creeps back, as it often does, your patient doesn't blame their desk setup or their phone habits.
They start to wonder if your treatment only ever offered short-term relief.
The OptiNeck Balance Wedge® changes that
It protects the work you've done, keeps your patient progressing in the same environment that used to undo it, and makes sure the results you achieve are the results they remember.
The best clinicians know that what happens between sessions, matters as much as what happens in them.
Your patients leave motivated. They intend to do the exercises. But traditional home programmes require effort, recall, and motivation, and after a long day those are exactly the resources people have least of.
It isn't a reflection on your treatment. It's a compliance problem the whole profession faces.
The patients who get lasting results are the ones who do something consistently between sessions. The problem has always been finding something simple, effective and rewarding enough that they want to do it.
The neck is the victim. It's paying the price for everything happening further down the spine. Correct the trunk, unload the neck.
The OptiNeck Balance Wedge makes that possible both in your treatment room and at home, every day, in a way that your patient will want to do it.
The "Game-Changing" Solution
The OptiNeck Balance Wedge® addresses the daily postural load that works against your treatment. It gives you and your patient a powerful tool to bridge the gap between the treatment room and living room. It also gives you a versatile asset, enhancing your assessment, diagnosis and treatment. Helping you to do what you do best.
THE MECHANISM
Gravity working for you, not against you.
Driver of most neck pain is not in the neck. It starts in the trunk, where years of forward-loaded posture pulls the spine out of its bio-mechanically balanced alignment and forces the neck to compensate and unbalances the shoulder girdle.
When your patient is upright, screens are drawing them in, gravity is compressing them down. The thoracic spine stiffens into flexion and the pectoral myofascia shortens and tightens.
When they lie on the Balance Wedge, that same gravitational force works in the opposite direction. It progressively mobilises the mid and upper thoracic spine, restoring trunk extension and opening the anterior myofascial chains. Taking the trunk back towards its bio-mechanically optimised position, unloading the neck and shoulder girdle.
Minimal effort required.
For the patient breathing and gravity do the reset. Simple foundational exercises, included in the programme, take the spinal mobilisation and myofascial release to the next level.
For you, the rehab professional, it creates the foundation on which your unique clinical expertise and rehab programmes can do their best work.
01
Immediate offloading
From the first session, the overloaded joints and myofascia responsible for the pain achieve the unloading and decompression they need. Whether used in the treatment room or at home, most patients report feeling a difference within the first week.
02
Consistent inter-session progress
11 minutes a day is all it takes. Patients lie on it while watching television or listening to a podcast. Compliance is high because the effort required is minimal and the results are tangible from the start.
03
Results that last
Because the underlying cause is being addressed daily, the improvements your patients make in the clinic start to compound, rather than regress, between appointments.
Does this replace the need for a Physio?
No. It gives you and your patient a powerful tool to make and maintain real change.
What the Balance Wedge does for YOU
Gives you a versatile and powerful platform on which to assess, diagnose, treat and train your patient. Not only does it give you invaluable insight into the state of a patient's neuro-musculo-skeletal system, it makes your treatment and exercise interventions more effective. It bridges the gap between the treatment room and the living room.
What the Balance Wedge does for your PATIENT
Gives them the tools to correct the daily postural load that works against your treatment plan. Progressively mobilises the thoracic spine and releases the anterior myofascial chains using gravity in a way that is easy and effective. It helps your patient to form the habit of bio-mechanical rebalancing.
What it doesn't do
Assess or diagnose the presenting problem or create the treatment programme. That is still down to your unique skills and experience. The patients who use it consistently tend to progress faster, respond better to treatment, and understand more clearly why your treatment is working.

Highly recommended for all Physio and Pilates instructors!
I've been using the Balance 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 Pilates instructors and Physios!

Such a progression
Having seen the Balance wedge on instagram I brought it to try for myself, having always suffered with neck pain. Following just a few days of use my neck and shoulder pain is significantly better if not resolved! Seeing such a progression for myself I have brought them into my physiotherapy clinic to utilise with patients.
★★★★★
A versatile piece of equipment
As a physio who teaches Pilates, I have really enjoyed using the OptiNeck Balance Wedge in different settings.
It is a versatile piece of equipment that can be really helpful for manual therapy in a physio clinic setting to help lengthen pecs and assist in shoulder and neck symptom recovery.

ABOUT THE Creator
Built by a clinician who wanted his patients to keep the gains they made in the treatment room.
After treating thousands of patients over 25 years, Michael O'Reilly kept seeing the same pattern.
The patients who got lasting results were the ones who did something consistently between sessions. The ones who relapsed were the ones who couldn't, or didn't.
He wanted to create something that would easily and effectively address the fundamental drivers of neck pain, headaches and other upper quadrant problems.
Traditional home exercises require effort, recall, and motivation. After a long day, those are exactly the resources people have least of. He needed something that required none of them.
Something so simple that compliance wasn't a tough choice you had to make every evening. The Balance Wedge is the result of that clinical frustration.
Patented design. Made in Britain. Used globally. Developed over 25 years of clinical practice.

What physios and rehab professionals usually want to know first.
Is this a tool for the clinic, the patient, or both? +
One of the most valuable features of the Balance Wedge is how is bridges the gap between the treatment room and the living room.
Not only is it a an excellent platform to deliver your in session treatment interventions (exercise, manual therapy etc), it allow your patients to very accurately replicate and therefore reinforce the grains made during the treatment sessions.
It dramatically enhances your treatment and rehab programmes.
How is this different from a foam roller? +
It was in trying to solve the problems that are inherent to foam rollers that the idea for the Balance Wedge was formed.
Where foam rollers are unstable, often painful and difficult to use, the Balance Wedge provides stability were you need it and mobility where you want it.
The wedge shape and support for the head provide invaluable (and essential) mobilisation of the thoracic spine (mid back) while taking the strain off the neck and head.
The ease of use and immediately tangible benefits of using the Balance Wedge means that users look forward to their "Wedge-time". This helps users form the habit of regular bio-mechanical resetting, as essential component of balanced and sustainable movement and keeping symptoms at bay.
The Balance Wedge is to the foam roller what the modern EV is to the 1920's car.
How quickly should patients expect to notice a difference? +
Most patients feel a marked difference in the mobility and postural balance after the first session. When you combine active mobilisation with hands on treatment modalities, the change the patient experiences is often dramatic.
Is it appropriate for patients who have had surgery or a significant injury? +
This depends on each individual presentation and the judgement of the treating clinician. However many Physios report getting excellent outcomes in even very complex and chronic cases.
Is there bulk or clinic pricing available? +
Yes. We have a scale of trade prices for rehab professionals based on number of units ordered. Most clinics order a box of 8 at a time.
Will my patients actually use it consistently at home? +
Our research as shown a very high degree of patient exercise compliance. 6 months after initial use, 80% of patients were still using the Balance Wedge 3-4 times a week.
They would only be doing this if it were making a real difference and they had formed the habit of regular use.
Change the habit, change the outcome.
Do you have instructions on how to use the Balance Wedge? +
Yes, we have Foundational Exercise Series videos which are free to use and can be incorporated into exercise prescription programmes.
For clinicians we have number of hands-on treatment training videos as well as a Professional User Programme to develop your understanding and use of the Balance Wedge.
