How to get out of bed: Back pain edition 🛏️
Log Roll 🪵
✨Gently roll onto your side by activating your core, keep your shoulders, hips, and knees moving together as a unit (like a log), and tuck your arm under your head
✨Shuffle your body so that your hips are close to the edge of the bed if needed
✨Slide both your legs off the edge of the bed together slowly
✨Place your hand on the mattress in front of you and use both arms to push your upper body up while your legs continue to lower (where your hips act as a pivot point)
✨Sit on the edge of the bed for a few seconds before standing
✨Make sure to keep your back straight throughout the movement rather than rounding, and listen to your body and go slow 🐌
