You go to bed feeling fine… but wake up with a stiff or uncomfortable back. Sound familiar? 😴
It’s easy to immediately blame your mattress, but morning back discomfort can have several contributing factors. How you sleep, how much you moved the day before, long periods spent sitting and your overall mobility can all influence how your body feels when you first get out of bed.
A little stiffness after being still overnight can happen, but if you’re regularly waking up uncomfortable, it’s worth paying attention rather than simply getting used to it. Osteopaths are trained to examine and diagnose the spine and discover any underlying changes that may be causing issues.
Osteopaths are experts in understanding the spine, looking at your movement, mobility and everyday habits and structural changes to better understand what may be contributing to your symptoms.
💡 Your morning back pain might be telling you more than you think.
