Have you Thought about Sleep Posture? [Adelaide Video]

Summary;

• We spend a third of our lives in bed so the way that we sleep can greatly affect our day to day function
• The best sleeping postures are either flat on your back on on your side
• If you experience back pain, you can put a pillow under your knees if you’re on your back or between your knees if you’re lying on your side. This can help reduce some spinal stress
• One posture we want to avoid is sleeping on our tummy as it means we’ll be twisted for a long period of time and that can put stress on our neck. People also often put one arm or one leg up when sleeping on their stomach which also puts stress on their shoulder or pelvic girdles and can create long term posture deformities
• It’s also really important to have a good quality and supportive pillow and mattress
• If you have any questions about sleep posture, please ask your Spinecare chiropractor at your next appointment so we can discuss your specific situation
