Will this provide long term relief?
Will this provide long term relief?
Yes. While painkillers and standard massages only mask the symptoms for a few hours, Sovela is designed to fix the root cause. By restoring the natural 26° curvature of your neck and decompressing the spine, it prevents the tension from returning—giving you lasting freedom from stiffness and headaches, not just a temporary fix.

Can you use it in bed?
Can you use it in bed?
Yes, for relaxation. You can absolutely use the Hugterra in bed to enjoy the soothing Heat, Massage, and EMSfunctions before sleep.However, for the Spinal Decompression (Stretching)to work effectively, gravity needs a firm surface to pull against. For this specific function, we recommend using the device on the floor (with a yoga mat or blanket for comfort) for just 10 minutes a day.
Can I use it if I have a fused neck?
Can I use it if I have a fused neck?
We recommend waiting at least 6 months.
You should avoid any form of traction or deep massage while your fusion is still healing.
- 0-6 Months Post-Op: Do not use. Your neck needs stability to fuse properly.
- 6+ Months Post-Op: Generally safe to use to relieve stiffness in the surrounding muscles, but please consult your surgeon before starting any new therapy.
How fast will I feel better?
How fast will I feel better?
You will feel the difference immediately, but lasting correction takes time.
Most users report a significant release of muscle tension and stress after their very first 15-minute session. However, correcting years of poor posture or 'tech neck' doesn't happen overnight.
- Day 1: Immediate relief from tightness and better blood flow.
- Day 7: Improved neck mobility and less morning stiffness.
- Day 14+: Significant reduction in chronic pain and visible posture improvement.
Think of it like physical therapy at home—consistency is the key to fixing the root cause.
