Soothe Stiff Joints with This Sleep Position

Soothe Stiff Joints with This Sleep Position
Posted By: Erika Neal on March 13, 2009


Don't you hate it when you sleep wrong and all of a sudden getting out of bed is a struggle?

So before you nod off, do a quick posture check. There are three sleep positions that help ease strain on your head, neck, and back.



3 Poses for R&R
According to the editors of Natural Prescriptions for Women, joint-friendly sleeping habits can help protect creaky body parts from developing a crick. Choose one of these postures:
If you sleep on your back, put a small pillow under your knees.
If you sleep on your side, avoid tucking your neck and chin into the fetal position.
If you sleep on your stomach, put a pillow under one side of your body so your head and neck aren't strained.

great info...i recently found using a pillow that I brought to place behind my neck while driving that looks like a dog bone has actually helped me at night for sleeping. As much as I try...I just cannot stay off my back at night...and that a pillow has made a world of difference so I don't have a stiff neck.
