1. Modular cervical support and redefinition structure comprising
a collar having a central cervical region, and possessing opposite-side inside and outside surfaces and upper and lower edges, removeably wrapable about a user's neck with said inside surface disposed directly adjacent the neck, said central cervical region disposed against the cervix, and said outside surface facing substantially 180° rearwardly away from the neck, and
pillow structure removeably attachable to said outside surface of said collar at the location of said central cervical region, and substantially vertically centrally between said upper and lower edges, to coact with the collar, outwardly and rearwardly thereof, in the furnishing of cervical support for the user with such coaction taking place along a line-of-action which extends from the pillow structure, through said collar's opposite-side inside and outside surfaces, and through the central cervical region of the collar to the user's cervix, and with this line-of-action lying in a plane which, with said support and redefinition structure in use by a user, intersects said collar, said pillow structure, and the user's neck and cervix, at a location which is generally vertically centered on the user's cervix.
