I’ve been sleeping that way (on belly, with head turned) my entire life and it’s caused chronic shoulder and neck issues. So here I am! Making good on it. Thank you 😊
I put a pillow between my knees because I am a side sleeper. I will try your recommendations for the pillow/towel. Thank you so much for your videos. I have a slightly bulging disc in my neck. Plus, your exercises for the pinched nerve in the neck, I will do to help for relief.
Same . It’s really bad ! To the point I can’t really hold my head in any position . I got a tummy sleeper pillow it helps slightly but also check your mattress dipping as this cases even more neck statin
THANK YOU!!!!! I’ve struggled with neck pain that would wake me up every night for well over a year. And I’ve purchased So. Many. Pillows. in a desperate effort to find a solution that didn’t solve the problem. I tried your rolled up towel in the pillowcase trick AND NO MORE NECK PAIN! You’re a lifesaver! Anyone need a gently used pillow? lol!
I just found your channel. It was divine intervention as I have just started having severe neck and shoulder pain due to too much crocheting. I am now doing your exercises and am following your sleep tips. Thank you so much for your videos. They are a God send.
Looking forward to trying the towel insert under my neck as a side sleeper. I’ve been watching your videos on neck pain and stiffness and will be implementing all the stretches this week. Will gradually work my way up to the strengthening exercises. Thank you for such a great TH-cam channel and source for those suffering with chronic pain💕✨
Thank you for this I’ve been having terrible next pain and believe it or not I just prayed about finding out how to get a better sleeping position for my neck and I’m truly blessed to find you explain all this, May God bless you!!!❤️
Where can I buy this kind of pillow, I have suffering for my neck pain for decades.already, taking lots pain reliever still have pain, stop for a while then come again!!! Thanks!!!
I honestly feel like your videos are saving my life right now lol. I've been experiencing what I think is a linched nerve for quite some time now and your stretches and recommendations are amazing and I feel that they've been really helping, even though I just discovered you 3 days ago. Shared your videos with my father who also has serious neck issues
Did you try these out? How did it go? Leave me a COMMENT with your experience! Know someone else who would benefit from watching this video? SHARE it with them! If you're having some neck pain from sleeping wrong - I've got you covered! Check out this video for some simple stretches and exercises to help out: th-cam.com/video/dBXBl8gVhZk/w-d-xo.html Hope that helps and thanks so much for watching here on Tone and Tighten! 🙌🏼👊🏼
Thanks for your videos. I have incorporated a great many of your exercises into my efforts to improve my core stability and ,y neck and back health. I currently use the pillows under the legs and have done so for years. Made a big difference in how my back feels when I am laying down. I was a little surprised that you didn't mention putting a pillow between the legs to "straighten out" the hips when sleeping on the side. Been doing that for years too. I am giving serious consideration to the cervical pillow and the wedge now that I have been made aware of them. Thanks for that.
I already tried your neck exercise video and it gave me so much relief from neck pain, I couldn’t believe it but there it is. Thank you. I’ll keep watching you and learning the techniques that can make me and others feel so much better.
Hi Jared, I just wanted to thank you for this video. I woke up with terrible neck pain yesterday and watched this video while taking an advil to help me get through the day. I tried the pillow + towel roll and two pillows to hinge my hips and I woke up with absolutely no pain this morning! I'm just so grateful, thank you so much
Thank you! Today is first day I don’t have pain and I’ve been doing the suggested exercises for two weeks. I do them several times a day. I got Camille’s pillow suggestion and McKenzie roll and you pillow suggestion. I was in so much pain at night couldn’t lay down for more than 4 hours. Now I feel relieved! Thank you so much to you both! I’m a PA and work 10-11 hours on computer. I even taught a couple patients the same exercises at work.
Omg! I've been sleeping really bad for years. I ordered the roll already. I have a cervical pillow and about 8 different pillows but they never really worked. Last night I tried rolling a towel, and this just already changed my life. Thank you so much!! Have a nice day everyone!!
My neck hurts so bad right now it feels like it needs to be popped but it won’t it just makes a popping sound and that popped back it hurts to have a neck🥲
I personally am a side sleeper and put my arms and hands in a possession were I have them in a comfortable possession and from getting numb. Usually out straight off to my side.
I've gone and bought a memory foam half-round bolster pillow meant for behind the knees to help with SI joint pain as you mentioned in one of your videos. I've found out it also works well to support my head and neck gap when side sleeping. Now I question the purpose and design of a large pillow when maybe we just need a small one that does the job perfectly. A bed full of pillows for me means most of the time they end up on the floor in the morning. Thanks again for a useful video.
I was using the same pillow for awhile but now I'm in bad pain after going back and forth between that and a regular pillow. Good pillows are so important!
I am having really bad neck pain. I am going through physio. I have 2 questions: 1. what do you think about the water pillow for the side sleeper? 2. My foam roller is so stiff is there a way to make it softer? Thank you for all your tips and videos, I am following your advice.
I been having some neck pain I clicked on your video did the exercises and my neck pain was gone , Thank you sooooo much, My son was having neck pain he did your exercises and his is gone also I even got my family members n friends watching your videos god bless u n your family.
lately ive been sleeping on my stomach as a side sleeper for all my life. ive been, as long as i can remember, a right side sleeper cuz its the most comfortable. its the side that makes me feel relaxed the most. i avoid making my migraine worse so on right side really helps. when im on my left i feel my migraine so bad, my mind is racing and i feel panicky as hell. i wake up with an even worse migraine. but a year or two ago i think my right sleeping habit has shown side effects that i havent encountered. maybe its me getting old and having chronic fatigue with no exercise to add, that my right arm feel like its been stressed out from being pressed by my body to the point my arm/shoulder bones kinda cracks and feels numb whenever i rotate it to certain directions. i also feel my ribs on my right hurting a bit specially when i try to breathe deep. my right jaw as well has been kinda pushed that it misaligned my teeth positioning. im a hypochondriac so hopefully certain exercises for fatigue can lessen the bone pains i feel
Something that helped me for not turning was meditaing with intention; my intention was to wake up how i slept. after a week and a half, its entered my subconscious and i am sleeping so well and waking up on my back: exactly how i fell asleep. I hope this helps!! Thank you for your cidoes ✨✨🦋
Hi Jared, I sleep without pillow from my childhood. I never had any problems. I sleep either on my back or on my side. I am suffering from sever neck and back pain after the corona outbreak because of bad posture at work. Do you think I should start using pillows or is it okay to sleep without them ?
Thank you, I will try. I knew its will help me for sure, because as you explain in video how to keep posture straight from upper solder, I try all exercises, I buy foam roller using that and I got result, now I keep doing every morning. My upper back was band in front. I am very thankful to you, I got result so I talk to people watch your video and do exercise. Thankyou again. My friend notice that I look straight.
Omg thank you so much for making this video. You're a life saver, I've been feeling absolutely miserable with neck and shoulder pain for quite a long time. Shopping for pillows on the Internet during covid has been a nightmare, so confusing with so much choice and reviews. Finally I have a personal recommendation of a pillow, thank you, thank you. May God bless you and your wife. Keep making these helpful videos and helping everyone 🙏🙏
I just did the excercise in how to heal the pain neck, and the pain is gone almost instantly, but I it feels weird after doing it, good in a way. I will buy more of these pillows and the back support, I hope it helps cuz I’m suffering but I feel better already. THANK YOU SIR God bless you and your wife.
@@toneandtighten And the towel trick for neck support gave me the best night sleep I had in years, actually works I just have to tape it on the pillow while I wait for my coop pillow! Thank you so much!
Jared, Thank you for all your awesome videos and tips!! I followed them and used them a couple of years ago and in last couple months my upper back and neck needed some strengthening and am now getting back to your videos and I feel near instant improvement.
I have been having so much trouble with a sore neck and upper shoulders, probably from looking down at my Kindle or phone a lot during the day. I am trying to learn to sleep on my back, so this video has helped me with some tips. I am using a cervical pillow so I don't have to mess with two pillows. I guess I'm a work in progress!
Thank you so mucb for this video! I am also a stomach sleeper but have been experiencing neck pain and numbness in my hands. I'm working on better sleep habits to reduce pain and this video was tremendously helpful
Thank you so much I think this is really going to help the quality of my sleep. I am a thin woman and I get pain in my head close to my neck. I am glad that the model was a woman because it really gave me an idea on what to do.😊
thank you so much after having my kid its not his fault but for the last two years I've been in pain waken up with it for the first year in a half then the last 6 months its all day everyday and now this video and the neck and shoulde one its been one night and its working thankkkkkkkkkk u im a mommy and im always happy but man is this gonna make me even happier
I tried the rolled up towel and everything else for side sleepers, including x3 various butterfly pillows. But they all make my neck even worse when I try them out. I get worse neck pain, like a nerve pain and a headache guaranteed. When I use my pillow, half of the week I wake with neck pain, knots, achiness, sometimes a headache. The other nights are so-so, not as distracting or debilitating but the pain is still there. Any other recommendations besides going to the doctor's?
Experiencing your exact symptoms. After MRI, My Nuerologist (Migraine w/aurora sufferer) sent me to a Neurosurgeon because two of my vertebrae are not aligned and no fluid between disc. There's disc degeneration and pressing of the spinal chord. The condition is not uncommon. He's confident surgery will abate the increased migraine pain with radiating pain in the back and arms, but we will try pain management (injections) first.
I was trying to avoid hearing “sleeping on your stomach is the reason why your neck always hurts” but it’s so true! I gotta start making a change though. Waking up and CONSTANTLY having neck pain is the worst. I always avoided sleeping on my back because I have a big butt and it hurts my back lol😅 and I never tried sleeping with a pillow under my legs while on my back. Definitely going to give these a try! Thank you!
My neck pain is terrible to the point where I can’t sleep, it actually happened from driving too long. (1hr 20min one way) Maybe a video about positions when driving long distance Found some of my sleeping mistakes too in this video lol Thank you so much !!!
Thank you sooo much as I know we are built from the ground up my wheels(feet) are out of alignment so to speak and have been for a really long time (2000) sometimes are worse than others but Ive got to change the way I sleep its really starting to slow me down in life!!!!
I had been searching for a good/no pain sleeping position for a long time and the wedge+neck roll+knee pillow position works great!! Thank you Dr. Beckstrand!!
Thank you for the video, what about sleeping with no pillow and starting out on your back to correct alignment etc? :) Takes about 12 days or so to adjust to this. Best sleeping positions for no pillow is on your back. I watched a few other videos about this, what is your opinion?
Thank you for this. I've been getting kinked necks 2-4 times a year and they take 3-5 days to go away and are so painful I always go to urgent care. I'm going to definitely try some of this. I hurt my neck last week, was almost healed and woke up this morning with it hurting again like I hurt it a little more. Definitely picking up a memory pillow or that giant wedge Edit* doesn't help I just had collarbone surgery leaving me to only sleep on my back or my right side. Probably doesn't help when I'm sleeping on one side for most the night lol
So I just ordered the pillow, the wedge & the roll. I'll let you know - I have sciatic never pain on left, right never pain in my neck and starting to have right lower pain. I am going to be working on all of these things.
God bless ya Dr. Beckstrand for making these therapy videos. As much as I love your workout vids, and I dearly do, I really appreciate your therapy ones too. I was broken up in a truck crash nearly 15 years ago and I've lived in constant pain since. It just comes with the territory I suppose. But I use so many of your videos and advise to help ward off as pain as possible. That's why I am so appreciative of your knowledge, care, and dedication you show in your medical practice. Thank you sir so very much. May the Lord bless you, your precious family, and your practice.
Thank you so much for this video! My wife and I already watch a few of your stretching videos (I work from home as a software dev so I always need to stretch more and she has a physical condition that makes stretching necessary but difficult, so your other videos have been fantastic, especially the patience you come with for limited mobility) and I was really glad to see your video come up when I woke with neck pain this morning. I'm not sure if youll see this or maybe someone else in the comments, but I had a question regarding sleeping positions. I'm a long time stomach sleeper, but some of that is because I have difficulty sleeping any other way? On my side I'll often wake with my arm numb, even if im only on the shoulder, and I don't think I've ever fallen asleep on my back without waking up soon after because its so uncomfortable. My head always ends up dropped to one side soon after dozing off and even with a cat comfortably on my chest I still wake up to move. Any tips for making these positions more comfortable?
This is great information, thank you. I tend to find if I stay in one position my body starts to feel like it NEEDS to move. Why is that, and what can be done to avoid it? Also, why are Physical Therapists always in such great shape? Are you guys all resistance training in your spare time? Thanks!
Great video! I sleep exactly like your wife and deal with the same neck issues, so thanks for this! Only one thing, I snore on my back. That’s why I sleep on my stomach. Please help if you can. I like the wedge pillow and the cylinder pillow but I’m concerned that sleeping on my back my cause more snoring and I don’t sleep alone 🤦🏽♂️
I'm 19 and my neck pain it's so strong that when I draw and need to look down I can't draw for more than 1 hour without having a tremendous neck pain, I don't know what to do, if not trying your advices thank youuu u.u
Thanks for the info! I just bought a cervical roll for my neck. I find that a body pillow helps me stay off my stomach and keep my shoulders and hips aligned. I just bought the coop body pillow to replace my old one. Fingers 🤞
Thank you so much for this video! I'm 52 and slept on my back all my life but now my neck is so stiff and feels like its got a lump of lead in it, 😫so common sense just told me stop doing it, that's why I'm now scrolling through looking for vids on how to relieve muscle tension, so thank you very much for the clear explanation. 👍🏽 and your wife's volunteering! 😉
Tone and Tighten 🙃 Unfortunately not a good nights sleep last night, but after doing the exercises and using a rolled up towel on my pillow as you showed us, my neck feels SOOOO much better today and flexible 😆😱 after just one night of stretching it!! So thank you so much again. Will keep doing the exercises daily, and I'm sure the good sleep will follow. 🤗👍🏽
I am having neck pain right now. Nowadays I suffer from neck pain atleast once/twice in every 2 months. I will have extreme pain which will prevent me from lying down in a bed comfortably. Even if I lie down I cannot get up without anyone's help. Without any help even if I try I will feel hell lot of a pain.
Thank you . I think the coop pillow might work for me . I've tried so many pillows and nothing is the right height . To me there's nothing more horrible than a muscle tension headache . Good video .
Finally, Camille is back!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌I know caring for all the kids + actually having a Life can't make it easy to keep up with all of your husband's uploads but it is ALWAYS such a pleasure to see the SUPER A Team at work!!!😍😍😍 Looking GREAT girl, btw!!! 💪💪💪You both are absolute GOALS!! 💜💜💜💜I am definitely going to try putting the foam over the pillow. Although Camille's "second" bff looks AMAZING!!!😂😂😂😂 Gotta tell you, sometimes I wonder how I haven't broken my neck while sleeping since no pillow seem to help. I will let you know how it works! Thanks so much for keeping on keeping us motivated with these awesome tips!! God bless you both and your lovely family!!! You guys are the B E S T.😊
Always such a wonderful pleasure to hear from you, Just Me! Thanks so much for your kind comments and unending support. It really means so much to me! Hope these tips help you out; you'll have to let me know your thoughts. Take care of yourself and God bless!
Thank you! These are really helpful. Can you do a similar video for shoulder pain? I sleep on my sides and end up with a painful shoulder in which the pain takes a really long time to heal.
Thank you so much!! This video was so helpful! ❤ also your bond with your wife looks very cute!!! From the moment you introduced her as your lovely assistant to How you were placing her hair to the side and when you called yourself her ‘first best friend’ before her pillow sooooo cute! ❤✨
Right now am going through hell I just developed a very severe pain on the left side of my neck afew hours ago have already taken some muscle relaxants n still no solution, am going to try ur recommendations tonight n let you know tomorrow. much love from Kenya.
I've been having many issues more so lately. I have been trying things to no avail, not one has worked. I recently bought a new pillow for this from Amazon for this issue. I, too, am all over when I sleep. Try not to. It just happens. I hope to God this pillow works. It is meant for these issues. I get tomorrow, but I couldn't be soon enough. Thank you for your information and links to pillows and the wedge.
@toneandtighten , I received my pillow today. Thank God ! Used a rolled up towel last night and just the towel I saw an improvement. So thank you again!
I appreciate this video. I have reflux so it’s recommended I don’t lay flat. Can the sleep wedge help with keeping my upper body on an angle while still supporting my neck?
The gentleness by which he repositioned her ponytail 🤗🥰😍
I’ve been sleeping that way (on belly, with head turned) my entire life and it’s caused chronic shoulder and neck issues. So here I am! Making good on it. Thank you 😊
Oh my God I also here to help adjust my sleeping position I feel chronic pain as well
Me too 😓 get well soon
I put a pillow between my knees because I am a side sleeper. I will try your recommendations for the pillow/towel. Thank you so much for your videos. I have a slightly bulging disc in my neck. Plus, your exercises for the pinched nerve in the neck, I will do to help for relief.
I sleep like this too. My neck is suffering from it. Need to start sleeping a different way
Same . It’s really bad ! To the point I can’t really hold my head in any position . I got a tummy sleeper pillow it helps slightly but also check your mattress dipping as this cases even more neck statin

genuine question, what about sleeping without a pillow and/or on the floor?
Could both alleviate some of the issues?

My neck hurts so bad right now it feels like it needs to be popped but it won’t it just makes a popping sound and that popped back it hurts to have a neck🥲
You can tape a tennis ball to your t-shirt's chest so you avoid sleeping on your stomach. It worked for me. ZERO PAIN😊
Did it help
Could you please suggest the correct arm placement to avoid shoulder pain when sleeping on the side?
I personally am a side sleeper and put my arms and hands in a possession were I have them in a comfortable possession and from getting numb. Usually out straight off to my side.
put pillow under arm and elevate
from one of their earlier videos about shoulder pain issues
@@drjohndee4322when lying on your side put a pillow under your armpit that is facing your roof and Lett your arm rest on the pillow

You are welcome, Theresa! I hope these tips help you and thanks for watching!
Just watching this video relieves my neck pain!!! I really need to see a physical therapist!
I love to hear that, Mia May! I am glad it helped and thanks for sharing!
@@toneandtighten And the towel trick for neck support gave me the best night sleep I had in years, actually works I just have to tape it on the pillow while I wait for my coop pillow! Thank you so much!
If you already have stiff neck can you inform us the best position, I'm having a hard time sleeping with stiff neck, any suggestions?
Jared,
Thank you for all your awesome videos and tips!! I followed them and used them a couple of years ago and in last couple months my upper back and neck needed some strengthening and am now getting back to your videos and I feel near instant improvement.
Great to hear!
I have been having so much trouble with a sore neck and upper shoulders, probably from looking down at my Kindle or phone a lot during the day. I am trying to learn to sleep on my back, so this video has helped me with some tips. I am using a cervical pillow so I don't have to mess with two pillows. I guess I'm a work in progress!
You are welcome, Karen! Looking down at devices all day can really put a strain on our necks so I hope these help!
Now I am in so much pain. I wish your suggestions would help me with this crazy pain. Your video is so useful. Thank you so much.
You're so welcome!
Thank you, thank you!!!! You are a life saver instant relief 🙌🏼
You are so welcome! I am glad to hear this video has helped you and thanks for sharing!
Thank you so mucb for this video! I am also a stomach sleeper but have been experiencing neck pain and numbness in my hands. I'm working on better sleep habits to reduce pain and this video was tremendously helpful
I am so glad you found this video helpful and thanks for commenting.
How are you now?
Having a really bad neck pain. Would definitely try these tips. Thanks! 😊
You're so welcome, Cristy! I hope these help you and thanks for commenting!
Thank you so much I think this is really going to help the quality of my sleep. I am a thin woman and I get pain in my head close to my neck. I am glad that the model was a woman because it really gave me an idea on what to do.😊
You're so welcome!
This helped with neck pain. It affected me for 2 weeks. I can tell it's fading slowly with this.
Great news! Thanks for sharing!
thank you so much after having my kid its not his fault but for the last two years I've been in pain waken up with it for the first year in a half then the last 6 months its all day everyday and now this video and the neck and shoulde one
its been one night and its working thankkkkkkkkkk u im a mommy and im always happy but man is this gonna make me even happier
You are so welcome!
I tried the rolled up towel and everything else for side sleepers, including x3 various butterfly pillows. But they all make my neck even worse when I try them out. I get worse neck pain, like a nerve pain and a headache guaranteed.
When I use my pillow, half of the week I wake with neck pain, knots, achiness, sometimes a headache. The other nights are so-so, not as distracting or debilitating but the pain is still there.
Any other recommendations besides going to the doctor's?
I have this same problem
Experiencing your exact symptoms. After MRI, My Nuerologist (Migraine w/aurora sufferer) sent me to a Neurosurgeon because two of my vertebrae are not aligned and no fluid between disc. There's disc degeneration and pressing of the spinal chord. The condition is not uncommon. He's confident surgery will abate the increased migraine pain with radiating pain in the back and arms, but we will try pain management (injections) first.
Yes, “My Pillow” are awesome! Thank you for this very informative video.
Wonderful lesson Doc.. Once again thank you for these videos..keep them coming. Practical and doable..👍🤝
Thank you so much, Binny Douglas! I appreciate your kind comment and hope these tips help you out!
I was trying to avoid hearing “sleeping on your stomach is the reason why your neck always hurts” but it’s so true! I gotta start making a change though. Waking up and CONSTANTLY having neck pain is the worst. I always avoided sleeping on my back because I have a big butt and it hurts my back lol😅 and I never tried sleeping with a pillow under my legs while on my back. Definitely going to give these a try! Thank you!
My neck pain is terrible to the point where I can’t sleep, it actually happened from driving too long. (1hr 20min one way)
Maybe a video about positions when driving long distance
Found some of my sleeping mistakes too in this video lol
Thank you so much !!!
You are welcome, Kaybeth! I hope you feel some relief from your pain soon!
Thank you so much for this amazing video. I ordered two of the items and I’m so looking forward to getting them. I really appreciate you.
You are so welcome!
Thank you sooo much as I know we are built from the ground up my wheels(feet) are out of alignment so to speak and have been for a really long time (2000) sometimes are worse than others but Ive got to change the way I sleep its really starting to slow me down in life!!!!
I had been searching for a good/no pain sleeping position for a long time and the wedge+neck roll+knee pillow position works great!! Thank you Dr. Beckstrand!!
Thanks for sharing!
7:54 positioning while we're sleeping on our back
Hold this W
Thank you for these tips. I really need to do something about my neck. I will look at supporting that little gaping area between shoulders and head!
You are welcome, Mark! I hope these help!
Just get to the right position already. Love the vids that get straight to the point.
MyPillow has definitely helped my neck more than any other thing. Best purchases I ever made
Thank you🙏🙏I like your wife she is great - she has a very good sense of humor and she is beautiful👏👏👍👍☺️
Thank you so much, Larisa! I agree with all of those things and I will let her know!
Omg! I need the sleep wedge!!! Thank you!
You are so welcome! I hope that helps you and thanks for commenting!
Thank you for the video, what about sleeping with no pillow and starting out on your back to correct alignment etc? :) Takes about 12 days or so to adjust to this. Best sleeping positions for no pillow is on your back. I watched a few other videos about this, what is your opinion?
This is amazing and it can help me with my neck pain thank you
You are very welcome!
How about bed, it has to be soft or firm or solid??
Thanks for this valuable information but unknowingly i am following this method and have got a lot relief.
I am glad to hear these tips have been helping you!
Thank you for this. I've been getting kinked necks 2-4 times a year and they take 3-5 days to go away and are so painful I always go to urgent care. I'm going to definitely try some of this. I hurt my neck last week, was almost healed and woke up this morning with it hurting again like I hurt it a little more. Definitely picking up a memory pillow or that giant wedge
Edit* doesn't help I just had collarbone surgery leaving me to only sleep on my back or my right side. Probably doesn't help when I'm sleeping on one side for most the night lol
So I just ordered the pillow, the wedge & the roll. I'll let you know - I have sciatic never pain on left, right never pain in my neck and starting to have right lower pain. I am going to be working on all of these things.
Good luck! I hope you feel relief soon!
God bless ya Dr. Beckstrand for making these therapy videos. As much as I love your workout vids, and I dearly do, I really appreciate your therapy ones too. I was broken up in a truck crash nearly 15 years ago and I've lived in constant pain since. It just comes with the territory I suppose. But I use so many of your videos and advise to help ward off as pain as possible. That's why I am so appreciative of your knowledge, care, and dedication you show in your medical practice. Thank you sir so very much. May the Lord bless you, your precious family, and your practice.
That is so kind, mick wells! I am glad my videos have been helpful for you!
Thank you so much for this video! My wife and I already watch a few of your stretching videos (I work from home as a software dev so I always need to stretch more and she has a physical condition that makes stretching necessary but difficult, so your other videos have been fantastic, especially the patience you come with for limited mobility) and I was really glad to see your video come up when I woke with neck pain this morning.
I'm not sure if youll see this or maybe someone else in the comments, but I had a question regarding sleeping positions. I'm a long time stomach sleeper, but some of that is because I have difficulty sleeping any other way? On my side I'll often wake with my arm numb, even if im only on the shoulder, and I don't think I've ever fallen asleep on my back without waking up soon after because its so uncomfortable. My head always ends up dropped to one side soon after dozing off and even with a cat comfortably on my chest I still wake up to move. Any tips for making these positions more comfortable?
This is great information, thank you. I tend to find if I stay in one position my body starts to feel like it NEEDS to move. Why is that, and what can be done to avoid it? Also, why are Physical Therapists always in such great shape? Are you guys all resistance training in your spare time? Thanks!
Great video! I sleep exactly like your wife and deal with the same neck issues, so thanks for this! Only one thing, I snore on my back. That’s why I sleep on my stomach. Please help if you can. I like the wedge pillow and the cylinder pillow but I’m concerned that sleeping on my back my cause more snoring and I don’t sleep alone 🤦🏽♂️
I'm 19 and my neck pain it's so strong that when I draw and need to look down I can't draw for more than 1 hour without having a tremendous neck pain, I don't know what to do, if not trying your advices thank youuu u.u
I am sorry you are dealing with such terrible neck pain! I hope these tips are helping you!
Thanks for the info! I just bought a cervical roll for my neck. I find that a body pillow helps me stay off my stomach and keep my shoulders and hips aligned. I just bought the coop body pillow to replace my old one. Fingers 🤞
You are welcome and thanks for sharing!
I actually have to sleep on a elevated wedge due to GERD severe acid reflux, I sleep on my back and elevated but suffer all the neck knots... Help!!
Thank you so much for this video! I'm 52 and slept on my back all my life but now my neck is so stiff and feels like its got a lump of lead in it, 😫so common sense just told me stop doing it, that's why I'm now scrolling through looking for vids on how to relieve muscle tension, so thank you very much for the clear explanation. 👍🏽 and your wife's volunteering! 😉
You're so welcome! I hope these tips help you get a better night sleep!
Tone and Tighten 🙃 Unfortunately not a good nights sleep last night, but after doing the exercises and using a rolled up towel on my pillow as you showed us, my neck feels SOOOO much better today and flexible 😆😱 after just one night of stretching it!! So thank you so much again. Will keep doing the exercises daily, and I'm sure the good sleep will follow. 🤗👍🏽
Can you please demonstrate tennis elbow management, your classes are so wonderful
This video will help you out! th-cam.com/video/txB_JsCGaBo/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for showing me what to do. Great video. I appreciate you.
You are so welcome!! I hope you start to feel better soon.
I am having neck pain right now. Nowadays I suffer from neck pain atleast once/twice in every 2 months. I will have extreme pain which will prevent me from lying down in a bed comfortably. Even if I lie down I cannot get up without anyone's help. Without any help even if I try I will feel hell lot of a pain.
Thank you for making informational videos like this. You and your wife are a beautiful couple and she is so supportive 😊.
The sweetest couple EVER!! How CUTE!
Thank you so much!
Thank you. Trying all this.
You are welcome, Steve! I hope you find these tips helpful!
For tummy sleepers, would it be viable to have a pillow setup similar to a chiropractor table where the face can peek through?
But how will you breathe
@@theglen85 😂😂😂
Thank you . I think the coop pillow might work for me . I've tried so many pillows and nothing is the right height . To me there's nothing more horrible than a muscle tension headache . Good video .
You are so welcome, paul! I hope that pillow helps you out!
Finally, Camille is back!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌I know caring for all the kids + actually having a Life can't make it easy to keep up with all of your husband's uploads but it is ALWAYS such a pleasure to see the SUPER A Team at work!!!😍😍😍 Looking GREAT girl, btw!!! 💪💪💪You both are absolute GOALS!! 💜💜💜💜I am definitely going to try putting the foam over the pillow. Although Camille's "second" bff looks AMAZING!!!😂😂😂😂 Gotta tell you, sometimes I wonder how I haven't broken my neck while sleeping since no pillow seem to help. I will let you know how it works! Thanks so much for keeping on keeping us motivated with these awesome tips!! God bless you both and your lovely family!!! You guys are the B E S T.😊

Great video! And yes, My Pillow pillows are great for fine tuning the filling!
Thank you! These are really helpful. Can you do a similar video for shoulder pain? I sleep on my sides and end up with a painful shoulder in which the pain takes a really long time to heal.
Great suggestion! Thank you!
Thank you so much!! This video was so helpful! ❤ also your bond with your wife looks very cute!!! From the moment you introduced her as your lovely assistant to How you were placing her hair to the side and when you called yourself her ‘first best friend’ before her pillow sooooo cute! ❤✨
I appreciate your kind comment!
Thanks for this great tips

Mersi and
“Hello” from İstanbul...🌍
Hello there! Thanks for commenting!
I've been having many issues more so lately. I have been trying things to no avail, not one has worked. I recently bought a new pillow for this from Amazon for this issue. I, too, am all over when I sleep. Try not to. It just happens. I hope to God this pillow works. It is meant for these issues. I get tomorrow, but I couldn't be soon enough. Thank you for your information and links to pillows and the wedge.
You are welcome! I hope you find relief soon!
@toneandtighten , I received my pillow today. Thank God ! Used a rolled up towel last night and just the towel I saw an improvement. So thank you again!
I appreciate this video. I have reflux so it’s recommended I don’t lay flat. Can the sleep wedge help with keeping my upper body on an angle while still supporting my neck?
God bless you
Thank you for this video and for the great advice. It really helped me sleep better and get rid of the neck pain.
You're so welcome!
