7 Ways to Prevent Morning Back Pain (That Don’t Involve Crying Into Your Coffee ☕️)
1. Stop sleeping like a pretzel.
Your spine isn’t auditioning for Cirque du Soleil — pick a position that actually supports it.
2. Upgrade from the 2008 mattress special.
If your bed has more valleys than a topographic map, it’s time.
3. Pillow check.
One good pillow = support. Four sad pancakes = regret.
4. Stretch before bed (and no, reaching for your phone doesn’t count).
A few gentle mobility moves can keep you from waking up feeling like a rusty hinge.
5. Move during the day.
If you sat for 9 hours straight yesterday, your spine is staging a rebellion this morning.
6. Drink water.
Your spine has discs that literally rely on hydration. Treat them better than your houseplants.
7. Don’t Hulk-smash your alarm clock.
The twisting and jerking while half asleep is not a safe exercise routine.
