“We talk to many decorators, plasterers and electricians who have had to give up overhead work because of
damage to their necks, Necprotech provides a simple means of support which brings instant relief, while still allowing you to work. Roger Bisby, a long time sufferer from neck pains tested the device and continues to use it on a regular basis”.
Air New Zealand
“We have had feedback from two of our aircraft cleaners about Necprotech. They are both enthusiastic about its benefits; one in particular, who has had a number of problems with his neck/shoulders, says that it has relieved the symptoms of neck strain while undertaking external aircraft fuselage cleaning, where he is having to look up controlling the long handled cleaning mops for long periods. He is so taken with it that he has mentioned it to his physiotherapist, who wishes to have a look at it. Many thanks for the units
to trial.”

”Any Occupational Health specialist will say that spinal problems are probably the nightmare of all nightmares, whether it’s the lumbar and the lower spine, or the neck and the upper spine. They are the most difficult to
manage, they are the most difficult to diagnose and have the worst prognosis for future problems.”
Site Safe, New Zealand
“Quite simply, Necprotech was found to alleviate stress in neck, back and shoulder regions. As one user stated, ‘I was able to rest my neck on the support and relax while working’.”
“These people craning their necks back and suffering strain injuries are not necessarily aware that Occupational Overuse Syndrome can mean they compromise their working future. It would be good to have Necprotech as a mechanism to take the strain off.”
Plaster Centre, New Zealand
“Through our Plaster Centre stores we have completed trials with plasterers. As you can appreciate, plasterers spend a lot of time straining necks and backs working on ceiling and coves. We can confirm the trials have proved successful and we see a huge potential for the product.”
Dr Tim Cooper, Chiropractor
“Rather than exposing painters, decorators, etc. to levels of stress that the body shouldn’t have to take, basically you’ve got an aid that can step in and prevent the situation before it occurs.”
Dion Boland, Independent painter
“Necprotech is working great. I have been spray painting ceilings a lot lately and looking up for 2-3 hours at a time really takes its toll on my neck. Since wearing Necprotech I haven’t had any problems.” |
