With probably a large percentage of followers to this site on the wrong side of 50, im sure im not the only one carrying the odd ache or three from a life of hard work.
About 20 years ago I hit a contour bank in a paddock, that i didnt know was there, in the long grass in an early hilux, while boomspraying for a customer.
The hilux made the landing ok, as did the rest of the rig, but my head tried real hard to punch a hole in the roof of the hilux.
It didnt succeed, not even a dent, but the experience is coming back to haunt me, along with numerous other activities that a hands on working life has dealt.
All healed ok at the time, but as time marches on I have been having trouble with my neck over the last couple of years or so.
My chiro suggested I use a wave pillow.
This raises the question of what pillows are available, and what do others use and what works, and where would i buy a specialised pillow, a pillow
shop?
Any pillow talk will be greatly accepted !!
Cheers Pesty

hi Pesty, it's Barb, I hurt my neck and upper back a bit more, didn't do it properly the last time according to karma. Anyway , Annette saw these pillows on a currant affair I think and god bless her she sent me one. I have found it to be great, thought my old orthopedic pillow was good but this one is fantastic.

Pesty,
You have the opportunity to view a range of pillows designed for folks with sore necks. Try The Back Centre, Anzac Hwy, Glandore, just west of South Road
intersection. (A long long time ago this sute was a KFC). Good knowledgable staff.
An alternative the Independent Living Centre, Blacks Road Gilles Plains which have highly qualified staff who give Independent advice (they do not actually sell anything, they evaluate products and provide advice regarding where to buy, so there is nothing in it for them.)
I'm making an assumption that you either live in or near
Adelaide, or visit on occasions. Cheers
