"Which sleeping positions should I avoid?"
This is a question I get asked a lot as a Physiotherapist.
Usually, this is with an eye to preventing or relieving aches and pains, but it's an important question for most people.
Intuitively, we often wake with neck or back pain and immediately look to our sleeping positions for clues.
Is sleeping on your stomach bad for you?
Is sleeping on your back bad for your back?
Is side sleeping bad for your shoulders?
Thankfully, in a perfect world, there is a distinct answer to these questions.
In this video, I use my clinical experience to explain which sleeping positions you must avoid and why.
Interestingly, the answer may not be the one you expect!
