                                            Sleeping Positions… What’s Best For You?
Do you sometimes wake up with a sore neck, tight shoulders, body aches, lower back pain, hip tightness or even a headache?
Did you know certain sleeping positions bring on these symptoms!
Typically, there are three types of sleeping positions. Sleeping on your back, on your side and on your stomach.
Sleeping on your side is ok for you, however, try and avoid sleeping with your hands under your pillow or crossing your legs.
Sleeping on your stomach is the worst position. It can put strain on your back and neck, which can lead to stiffness and aches and pains in the morning.
Sleeping on your back is the best position, this keeps your spine aligned and reduces pressure on the chest and tension headaches. It is ideal to have a low-profile pillow so that the curves of the spine are not heightened and causing any type of neck tensions or other body aches.
