Traveling is amazing… until back pain ruins it.
Many of us love soft, cozy hotel beds — but did you know they might be hurting your back?
First time in my life, I had experience was really soft mattress in hotel and horrible pain in my neck 😭
⠀ 🛏️ A mattress that’s too soft doesn’t support your spine properly, especially if you already have back issues.
🛌 Soft mattresses may lack sufficient support, causing your body to sink—especially at the hips or shoulders—which can throw off spinal alignment and potentially lead to back pain over time
🛌 According to spinal experts, soft surfaces can contribute to joint inflammation because they don’t allow for neutral alignment and may impair blood flow during sleep
⠀ 💆♂️ As a massage therapist, I often hear complaints after vacations: “I rested, but now my back hurts.”
⠀ 📍Tips for your trips:
Choose a medium-firm mattress if possible Add lumbar or knee support while sleeping And don’t skip your massage sessions 😉
Self-care isn’t just for home—it’s essential on the go, too. Even when you’re exploring the world, take care of the body that carries you through it.
