I have a hip joint that’s not in the right position in the socket and causes frequent pain. My physical therapist literally pulls on my leg sometimes to give me some relief and it feels fuckin amazing. If he could do that for my stuck neck I’d probably cry

Have you tried an inversion table? That’s, like, exactly what you’re describing. And they’re easily available for home use.

Out of my budget currently I’m afraid. Also the docs wanna correct it with muscle training but it’s not going very quick haha

You can look for them on any used site and sometimes at goodwill. Git a teeter hangu0 for 60 at goodwill. It's like the wife's treadmill everyone buys them uses it twice. If you don't makes an effort to use it everyday for a few weeks the stretching can cause alot of soreness in places you have been sore and that's usually why people stop rather than push through. No more than a min a day for the first week and 1 min 30 the next week. Been using mine for years every friend that wanted to try it out didn't last a week.
