Life is never about One Thing, even when that One Thing is Parkinson's disease that has a terrible way of making itself present in every corner of your daily routine. This blog will discuss a wide range of topics about life and living. Success, love, coping, gratefulness. Parkinson's doesn't stand a chance against these powerhouses.

Head Support System for Dropped Head Syndrome

Gentleman with dropped head due to Parkinson's
If you have a loved-one who has difficulty holding their head up, we may be able to help. 

We have just launched our website and have begun selling our Patent Pending band which we have named the Looking Forward Head Support System

It is easy to use and it does the job of comfortably raising and supporting one's head.

Curious? Good!

Our band is deceptively simple but as with most things simple, it took a long time to develop with many trials and errors along the way. (We should post some pictures of our disasters....or not!!). We are very proud of our end product because it works beautifully and most importantly, the wearer can put it on themselves. No fussing with buttons or zippers or anything small that requires finger dexterity. We realize that the majority of our customers will likely have shaky hands and limited mobility. But even with such challenges, they should be able to fit the band on themselves independently. 

The gentleman in the picture is the loving source of inspiration for our product. Without David, we wouldn't be here today with an incredible product ready and willing to help others with his condition. Thank you David, your love for all things knows no bounds and you continue to be my teacher.

The Looking Forward Head Support band
Here is a picture of David wearing the Looking Forward Head Support System band. The elastic material crosses his forehead and it's crossed at his back. It  closes at his front with velcro hook and loop. There is plenty of space for overlap which makes the band adjustable to fit a wide range of chest sizes, ladies included! The elastic material is very soft and does not cause any chaffing or discomfort under the armpits.

David wears his band every day for hours at a time. It makes many aspects of his life possible.

Sound too good to be true? Believe it. 

Think of eating and how you move your head to chew and swallow. Now try eating with your chin on your chest. How much are you spilling? 


Having mobile neck muscles is crucial to a wide range of daily activities; from eating and watching TV to working on the computer and being able to look your loved-one in the eyes during a conversation. If you or someone in your life is having to restrict their activities due to dropped head syndrome brought on by Parkinson's Disease or any other medical condition, visit our website to learn more about our Looking Forward Head Support System

Looking Forward to hearing from you.
