[Guest guest]

I do several excercises with . I massage the muscle in his

neck, massage the inside of his clavical, turn his head the opposite

way of the tilt & hold him stetching the neck.

The helmet just says Danmar products on the back. It is blue.

I will add a picture in the files of my son with it on.

Thanks,Lindy
