In 1993 the course of my life was changed forever. I was in a near-fatal auto accident. When all the dust settled I was left with nerve damage to my neck along with other injuries that made it hard to use my hands. After the hospital stay and during my physical therapy, my therapist instructed me to alternate between cold and heat on my neck 2 to 3 times a day between sessions. Do you know how hard it is to hold a heating pad on your neck without using your hands? It seemed like I spent most of my time laying down on a heating pad, not being able to get anything done. After looking for months and not being able to find a heating pad for the neck and shoulders in the stores, I just made one myself. The Kozy Collar concept was inspired by sheer personal necessity. Utilizing both moist heat and cold, it offered the Flexibility that was lacking in other products. Word-of-mouth testimonials have created a desire for me to offer this affordable relief to others. In this frantic world we're often too busy to slow down and take care of ourselves, focusing more on the needs of others. Kozy Collars offer "Therapy to Go" for today's active lifestyle. Use it at home or take it on the go.
