    This is one of the educated video i watched. Am a stomach sleeper since childhood and am now 45. Just last week, I wanted to learn to sleep on my back and bcuz I didn't learn how to do it right, within just 3days of sleeping on my back,am having severe back pain. I realized it was from the sleeping on my back and now your video clearly showed the reason behind my back pain. Am gonna use pillows as stated. Thank you once again and greetings to you from Ghana 🇬🇭

    When the lower back is sore and hurts i wake up on a 45° angle and lay like that for hours afterwards, i have slept ever way possible and hate it when your shoulders get numb on both sides when your laying on one side.

    For the side sleep position, I recently purchased a pregnancy pillow which helps keep me in that slightly rolled back position. Works for my neck, takes pressure off my shoulder, built in pillow between legs which also allows for straight top leg adjustment & support along my back keeps me in position. Game changer. Except now Amazon thinks I need baby stuff. 🤷‍♀️

    Hi Stefan, I have endured back pain over the last three months, especially at night and early morning. I have been trying the side position with a cushion for the nights, and I'm already used to this position and it is very comfortable. I also find that I can make micro adjustments to improve alignment. I'll let you know if my back improves over time. I've seen two chiropractor for a total of four sessions with marginal improvement. I'm on holiday at the moment, and would like to chat with you on my return. Thanks for the video, it's very helpful. Best regards, Ralph

      @BodyFixExercises  9 місяців тому

      Yes in fact it's very good for posture too. But the only problem is that if you turn onto your side and you don't have a pillow, you won't be supported correctly. So I only recommend lying on your back with no pillow if you never turn onto your side

    Comfortable side-sleeping: #1 reason to have a body pillow.
    Question: Sometimes I end up rolling to my other side at night and forget to take my body pillow with me, but still wake up completely comfortably as long as the body pillow behind me is clutched between my calves. Is the pillow still providing corrective support that way, or is the lack of consequences likely just an artifact of waterbed sleeping?

    • @BodyFixExercises
      @BodyFixExercises  9 місяців тому +1

      Probably a combination. If it's "clutched between" your calves, it's likely still helping to stop the top knee from going forward too much
