Reasons Your Neck Hump Isn’t Going Away – ARTUVATE

5 Mistakes That Are Making Your Neck Hump Worse (And What Finally Helps It Go Away)

Summary: If you’ve been stretching, exercising, sitting up straight, or doing posture routines but your neck hump still looks the same, you’re not alone. Most people unknowingly focus on the wrong areas, or skip the first steps their spine needs in order to change.
In this article, you’ll learn the 5 hidden mistakes that make a neck hump worsen over time… and the simple method people are using to finally shrink it.

1. You Think It’s Fat, Age, or Hormones... But Most Humps Aren’t

This is one of the most common misconceptions.
Many people assume their hump is from weight gain, aging, or hormones and feel discouraged before even trying anything.

But in most cases, it’s none of those.
A neck hump forms when the head shifts forward and the natural curve of the neck collapses.
Your body then builds protective tissue at C7 to support the weight of your head.

That tissue is not “just fat”, it’s your body compensating for misalignment.
When the neck regains its curve, that extra tissue finally has a reason to shrink.

2. You’re Stretching the Neck… But the Real Tightness Is Deeper

Most people stretch their neck because that’s where they feel tension.
But the muscles actually pulling your head forward (like the upper traps and suboccipitals) sit deeper and don’t release with normal stretching.

This is why the hump doesn’t move even if you stretch every day.
Until those deeper muscles soften, your head stays forward… and the hump stays too.

3. Your Spine Is Too Compressed for Posture Correction to Work

If the cervical spine is compressed, it cannot return to its natural curve through posture reminders or exercises alone.

Years of phones, studying, driving, and desk work push the vertebrae forward.
Once they get stuck in that position, “sitting up straight” becomes uncomfortable or impossible.

Decompression must happen first, otherwise the alignment cannot change, no matter how hard you try.

4. You’re Treating the Hump Instead of the Alignment That Creates It

People massage, ice, or poke the hump hoping it will shrink.
But the hump itself isn’t the root problem; it’s a response to collapsed alignment.

Your body adds tissue to support your head when the curve in your neck flattens.
Until the head moves back over the shoulders, that tissue remains.

Correct the alignment, and the body no longer needs the buildup. That’s when the hump finally begins to reduce.

5. The Most Popular Solutions Don’t Address the Real Cause

Most people try stretching, exercises, pillows, braces, or massage tools.
But none of these can reduce a neck hump because they only address one piece of a multi-step issue.

Here’s what they miss:

Exercises strengthen muscles... but can’t decompress the spine.
Stretching feels good... but doesn’t release deep tension.
Massage tools only target surface-level tightness.
Posture braces force you upright... but don’t restore the curve.

So even if you're trying hard, the alignment stays stuck… and so does the hump.

So What Can You Actually Do About It?

Most fixes fail because they skip the exact sequence your spine needs to change.

 

To reduce a neck hump, you must:

 

✓ Release the deep muscle tension pulling your head forward
✓ Gently decompress the cervical spine
✓ Restore the natural neck curve
✓ Strengthen the muscles that hold everything in place

 

When these steps happen together, the hump finally starts to shrink — because the body no longer needs that extra tissue. Most solutions handle only one step. That’s why progress stalls.

 

A team of physical therapists helped develop a simple at-home tool that performs the first three steps for you while you relax.

This Device Address The Root Cause While You Relax

Fisiorest is a 3-in-1 therapy device that combines:

  • Cervical traction to gently decompress the spine
  • Soothing heat to boost blood flow and relax muscles
  • Therapeutic massage to release deep knots and tension

Together, these create the perfect conditions for your neck to heal, something stretching and exercises can’t do alone.
 

And it only takes 15 minutes a day.

Over 50,000 people have already used it to look better, reduce tension, improve their posture, and finally see progress in the appearance of their neck hump.

Not the type to leave comments but I’ve done everything to correct my neck hump and nothing has helped except this.!! Bought this 2 weeks ago to help fix the hump on the back of my neck. Iknow we shouldn’t sleep with it but I sleep with it 4-6 times a week for about 6 hours. I was sore in the beginning but after week one, I was fine. The soreness reminded me to correct my posture during the day. I Can see such a difference on the back of my neck. U can hardly see the hump !

This one is GREAT. My wife says I have a slight hump under my neck and she researched it and it's due to several things...like side sleeping, looking down at computers and phones all day and poor stretching. So I saw a video explaining that traction 10 min a day twice a day can fix it. Saw this device for $199 and decided to try...I got my package on Wednesday, went to the bed and laid down, plopped the device under my neck, set the heat and massage intensity and it was like the heavens opened up and I heard angels singing....I've just been living with neck pain for years thinking it was just how it's going to be from now on. As soon as I wake up, neck pain and tightness. No more. This device completely removes my neck pain that I have to go to the chiropractor to relieve. And even then it's only for a few days. I've been using this twice a day for 15 min on my bed since I bought it. Today I moved to the floor and MAN it opened me up even more. There's definitely something to this device. Just buy and use it and you'll thank me later.

I sit at a desk all day and my neck was constantly tight and tingling by 3pm. This helps loosen everything up. The heat + stretch feels amazing after work. Really glad I gave it a shot.

This thing really surprised me. The heat is strong (in a good way), and it’s not heavy or bulky like other ones we’ve tried. My wife uses it every night now and says it’s the only thing that helps her. Plus, it arrived quickly and didn’t cost a fortune. Win-win.

I absolutely love this device. It feels amazing after a long day

I was honestly skeptical at first… but I’m so glad I gave it a try. It felt a little bulky the first time, but after a couple uses, I got used to it and now I love it. The heat feels amazing, the massage is relaxing, and it’s become part of my nightly routine. Even on days I’m not in pain, I still use it to unwind. I’ve already told a few friends and they’re ordering theirs too.
