Q I suffer from bad neck tension. Is there a product that I can use at home to iron out stress?

A Possibly the next best thing to having your personal bodywork practitioner is the new Cocoon relaxation system. Based on cranio-sacral and Alexander Technique principles, the inflatable cushion subtly inflates and deflates, stretching and supporting the back and neck to ease tension and achieve the 'still point', where the body relaxes and repairs. We found it's a great reviver during a busy day and using it for 20 minutes, three times a week, is said to improve posture and enhance sleep.
