Why Your Pillow is NOT RESPONSIBLE For Your Neck Pain & Stiffness

Why Your Pillow is NOT RESPONSIBLE For Your Neck Pain & Stiffness

How often do you wake up with a stiff or sore neck?

If you do, it's common to blame your morning neck pain and stiffness on your pillow, mattress, and even the shapes and positions you may be sleeping in.

And this makes sense considering it's unlikely you took this neck pain and stiffness to bed with you, and the only thing that's occurred since then involves your pillow, your mattress, and your sleeping positions.

However, as a Physiotherapist I've come to understand that there is often a BIG missing piece to this puzzle, a step BEFORE, if you will.

And addressing this broader issue can go a long way to preventing any more neck pain or stiffness.

In this video, I explain what that broader issue may be for you, and how you can go about addressing this to the best of your ability.

Furthermore, I also go through some things you can do to try and improve the health and function of you neck and a really interesting pillow that I had sent to me - which has now become my go-to pillow to sleep on.
