🌙 Sleeping with Sciatica? Your Position Matters.
If you’re dealing with sciatic discomfort, how you sleep can either calm things down… or stir it up.

✔️ Slightly propping yourself up with pillows
✔️ Supporting your hips and low back
✔️ Keeping your spine in a more neutral position

These small adjustments can help reduce pressure on the low back and may ease tension along the sciatic nerve.

🎥 Check out this video from the professionals to better understand supportive sleeping positions and how to set your body up for rest and recovery.
