🛏️ Therapy Tuesday | Why Your Pillow May Be Causing Neck Pain
Waking up with neck pain, stiffness, or headaches?
Your pillow might be the reason.
A pillow that is too high, too flat, too soft, or too old can place your neck in poor alignment for hours every night.
🔎 How the Wrong Pillow Causes Pain:
• Neck bends too much forward or sideways
• Poor support for natural neck curve
• Shoulder pressure while side sleeping
• Interrupted sleep posture changes
• Muscle strain overnight
⚠️ Common Symptoms:
• Morning neck stiffness
• Pain turning the head
• Headaches after waking
• Shoulder tightness
• Poor sleep quality
💡 Sleep should heal your body—not stress it.
💪 How Physiotherapy Helps:
✔️ Neck pain relief techniques
✔️ Posture assessment
✔️ Pillow guidance based on sleep position
✔️ Neck mobility exercises
✔️ Strengthening for long-term relief
The best pillow is the one that keeps your neck neutral and supported.
If you wake up sore regularly, it’s time to get it assessed.
