Thank you for including tips for stomach sleepers that are actually helpful and not just a "stop sleeping on your stomach"! Because of joint problems and hypermobility, sleeping on my stomach is the only option that truly works for me and causes the least amount of pain and discomfort, and it's been really discouraging to up until now only get "don't sleep on your stomach" as suggestions to help with the neck hump.

hi!! thank you so much for this video!

Thanks 🙏 really helped

Thank you for the tips, i'm a bit torn because I start my sleep on my left side with my head quite tucked in. This is very comfortable for me. I wake up in the morning on my back and turn to my right side if it's still really early for me to get up. Head tucked in again. I might need to strap myself down. I've tried sleeping on my back at the onset but my head keeps turning upwards or my chin tucked so much I sometimes wake up cause I couldn't breathe (i get nightmares and wake up out of breath). I'll try the exercises and maybe just alot more time for the stretches before going to bed. Thanks again for the tips

Thank you for this. I already slept with just one thin pillow, and I am now sleeping with no pillow at all. I usually sleep on a mix of my back and sides, but without a pillow I have stuck to sleeping on my back. Sometimes this is comfortable and seems to help, and sometimes less so, as I wake up with shoulders tensed and rounded anyway. As far as you're concerned, is the no pillow a good or bad idea?

Appreciate you not just saying to stomach sleepers 'just stop sleeping like that'! lol... we like real solutions too :D

Thank you, that's a beautiful explanation, could do a video for frozen shoulder

Demonstration would be helpful!

Thank you a lot it helped me a lot😇

Wow. Thank you.

I had always woken up with a more pronounced hump than the night before. I changed to the Carbon X Butterfly pillow and saw an immediate difference. Combined with the neck hump 3-minute drill, my hump is almost gone and so is the neck pain and headaches.

I'm interested to know if you've fixed this hump in your younger years, middle age or old age? You don't have to give exact age. I've seen my older family members develop these humps and am wondering if it is inevitable or if it is fixable in the long term.

@@Flamencoista I developed it in my late 20s due to bad posture sitting in front of the computer for hours at a time. Only started seeing an improvement mid 30s due to stretches and proper pillow. It might be fixable for older people but I suspect that it would take a bit longer. For me it took about 3 months to see noticeable results.

Stop side sleeping and start backsleeping. And dont say you can't, i know it isn't something sidesleepers want to hear as it is uncomfortable at first. I was a hardcore embryo sidesleeper till i was 18 years old. So for 4 years now i'm sleeping on my back as i had posture problems and pain throughout my whole body. From one day to the other i forced myself in an instant to only backsleep without a pillow. First days/weeks it may be really weird but once you got it (and you will) your Quality of life, your sleep and your posture will DRASTICALLY improve. I even got rid of my years long shoulder problems with resulting shoulder impingements and i sometimes forget i ever had them since im so healthy and far away from problems now.

What is good sleeping position for side sleepers to reduce neck jump and poor posture? Thanks!

Thanks for the video its very useful. Just a quick question please if you have time to answer- so most of the time my shoulders and area around neck are painful. Can it be something related to it??

Thanks for this video, I found it very helpful. However, I am also desperately looking for a position where I can lay down and read that will either help fix my forward head posture (🙏) or at least not exacerbate it. I was reading in the last position you showed (on my stomach, sans any pillows tho) with my head pushed back, thinking I was helping by getting my head back closer to alignment (?). The thing is my arms get extremely tired holding up my upper body for a few hours at a time....I sense a dad joke in there somewhere ;) Now, since your video, I have included pillows as you recommended (I realize this position was recommended for sleeping, not reading). Is this a good position, or do you know of a better one, more conducive to reading whilst lying down. Please help, I would hate to think I am further ruining my posture, especially considering all the darn exercises I have been doing day and night (Y W T L stretches for example).

Hi, Tim! I'm new here. Right now, I weigh 210 lbs. (I weighed a lot more in the past, but I was 50 years younger - I'm now 70). I was totally disabled for a while, and I'd like to get back on my feet and get going. Right now, I have to use a walker for stability. I sleep in a hospital bed right now, because I am prone to aspiration pneumonia. I also have scoliosis. I have a hump in the back of my neck. I was wondering if I were to sleep on my stomach do you think that might actually help me? I wake up every single morning with headaches from my neck, no matter what pillow I use, and because I'm in the hospital bed, I always slide a bit and I wake up with my head on the pillow, but my neck is not supported. I have other questions. Do you have a website where maybe I could get these addressed? What city do you practice in? Also, I'm hunched over so I'm thinking about a stiff back brace. What is your stance on those? Thanks so much! Sandy

Hi I really appreciate these videos! No-one ever explained the cause of the hump before as fat protecting the spine. Wow! That makes sense! I love when people that know share their knowledge like you are! Hey I am a side sleeper. Any tips for side sleepers?

Hi. For back sleepers who have GERD, what pillow(s) would you recommend? It has been said with GERD,it's best to sleep upright.

Those with sinus issues have to have their head slightly elevated. Would you suggest adding a wedge?

I have like so many questions because I don't know where to start with this. I am a mix of everything. I sleep with multiple pillows but the main pillow i have is like my one pillow i sleep on. I have multiple pillows due to some breathing issues. And I'm a pillow hugger as well 😆 which also I'm a side sleeper. It gets better... I also move in my sleep. I roll around all the time. So knowing all this, do you have a suggest for how I should sleep knowing all of this. Because I'm just confused because i pretty much do almost exactly all of them. I do not know where to really start.

I sleep like this pillows naturally :)

My problem is actually the result of a double frozen shoulder…my external arm rotation is basically non existent anymore & it just feels as if my shoulders are locked in a slight forward position. My shoulder blades were super affected, too. Thus, most of the exercises are really tough to do for me…namely the reason why I have this issue in the first place. It’s been several years and slowly but surely I felt that my spine around the neck area just wouldn’t open up properly anymore. It’s quite frustrating. I’ve started to use a yoga stool for headstands and this actually helped a LOT! Mostly I feel like: could someone just pull my neck straight, please?!

I use magnesium oil rubbed into the shoulder, calcium is the contractor but magnesium is the relaxer element. It won’t work overnight and it can itch like crazy to begin with. May not cure it totally but hopefully you can get some relief. Magnesium citrate orally can help but can be laxative. Epsom salt baths also good :). Hope that helps!

Good suggestion - thank you! In general, back braces provide temporary support and are not recommended for long term use. Proper body mechanics with lifting and squatting will do 10x more for your back than any brace. I’d recommend watching some videos about proper squat technique and to be mindful of how you move with every delivery. Congrats on the new job!
