The BEST Lying Position to FIX Neck Hump, Hunchback, and Poor Posture! Dr. Mandell
Sleeping on your side with a pillow between your knees: This helps keep your hips and spine aligned and prevents your shoulders from rounding forward. Choose a pillow that cradles your head and neck comfortably.
Positions to avoid:
Sleeping on your stomach: This position can put strain on your neck and back, potentially worsening hunchback posture.
Sleeping with a high pillow: This can cause your neck to hyperextend and contribute to neck pain.
Additional tips:
Use a supportive mattress: A firm but comfortable mattress provides good support for your spine.
Stretch regularly: Regularly stretching your neck, chest, and back muscles can help improve your posture and flexibility.
Strengthen your core: Strong core muscles help support your spine and improve your overall posture.
See a healthcare professional: If you have concerns about your neck or hunchback posture, consult a doctor, physiotherapist, or chiropractor for personalized advice and treatment plans.
Remember: It’s important to find a sleeping position that is comfortable and allows you to get a good night’s sleep. Consistency is key, so stick with the position that works best for you over time.
