Why do I wake up stiff if I was resting all night?
Sleep gives your body time to rest, but it doesn’t necessarily undo everything your body has been dealing with during the day.
Hours spent sitting, standing, lifting, driving, repetitive movement, stress, and the positions we sleep in can all influence how we feel when we wake up.
Sometimes morning stiffness is simply temporary. But if you regularly wake up feeling like your neck, shoulders, hips, or low back need time to “loosen up,” it may be worth looking at the bigger picture.
Therapeutic massage can help address areas of tension and restriction while looking at how different parts of the body may be working together.
You shouldn’t necessarily have to wait until something becomes severely painful before you start paying attention to it.
♥️ Your body is connected.
Your care should be too.
