Physiotherapy for Better Sleep Posture

An unsupportive mattress or awkward sleeping position can strain the neck and spine overnight, leading to morning stiffness and pain. Physiotherapy advice on sleep posture and pillow support helps your body rest properly.

Common Symptoms

Do's

  • Choose a pillow height that keeps your neck aligned with your spine
  • Sleep on your back or side rather than on your stomach
  • Place a pillow between your knees when side-sleeping
  • Use a mattress that offers firm, even support

Don'ts

  • Don't sleep on your stomach with your neck turned to one side
  • Don't use a pillow that is too high or too flat
  • Don't ignore recurring morning stiffness
  • Don't sleep on a sagging or old mattress for long

When to see a physiotherapist: If you regularly wake up with neck or back pain, numbness, or stiffness that doesn't ease during the day, consult a physiotherapist to assess your sleep posture and spine health.
