You probably replace your toothbrush regularly but when was the last time you replaced your pillow?
Over time, pillows lose their shape and support. An unsupportive pillow may affect how your neck and spine are positioned while you sleep, potentially leading to stiffness or discomfort when you wake up.
While replacing your pillow isn't a cure for neck pain, choosing one that supports your preferred sleeping position can help improve sleep posture and reduce unnecessary strain on your neck and shoulders.
If you often wake up with persistent neck pain or stiffness, it may be worth looking beyond your pillow. Your posture, daily habits and overall movement patterns can all play a role and that's where Osteopathy takes a whole-body approach.
