Getting Out of Bed
-Lying Down: Keep the torso straight, lay down on ither side, bringing the feet up, knees and ankles together. Use the arms to help the upper body. Reverse getting into bed.
Sitting
- Posture should be upright, not slouched.
-La-Z boy chairs don't bend where you do; buy a rocker instead.
- When working at at desk, elevate working materials to avoid neck fatigue.
-When sitting, choose a chair that has adequate firmness to hold your weight comfortably, and then sit straight. Avoid too soft, overstuffed chairs.
- Cross legs only at the ankles, not at the knees. Crossing your legs at the knees could aggravate existing back condition as well as interfere with the circulation to the lower limbs.
Pillows
-Have your pillow checked by this office.
-Use it correctly as directed.
- Have the correct filling amount.
-Have the correct type of filling.
-Spine problem + bad pillow + bad position= rest (sometimes)
- Healthy Spine + correct pillow+ correct position= quality rest and healing.
_The ideal pillow is one which supports your head so that your neck vertebrae will be level with the rest of your spine. Avoid sleeping on two pillows; never lie on a couch with your head on the armrest.
