🌅 Why Does Your Back Hurt in the Morning?
Instead of waking up refreshed, do you find yourself stiff, sore, or uncomfortable? You’re not alone—morning back pain is really common, and it can have a number of causes 👇
1️⃣ Sleeping Position 🛌
Stomach sleeping strains your lower back. Even side or back sleeping can cause issues if your pillow or mattress don’t support you properly.
✨ Try placing a pillow under or between your knees to keep your spine aligned.
2️⃣ Mattress or Pillow Problems 🛏️
Too soft, too hard, too flat, too high… the wrong support makes your back work overtime.
✨ Think about replacing your mattress every 7–10 years.
3️⃣ Muscle Stiffness 🤸
Staying still for hours can make joints seize up.
✨ Gentle stretches first thing can make a big difference.
4️⃣ Underlying Conditions 🩻
Arthritis, disc problems, or sciatica can all feel worse in the morning. If your pain isn’t improving, it’s worth checking in.
5️⃣ Inflammation & Stress 😣
Tension builds up overnight. Stretching, breathing, or relaxation before bed may help ease it.
💡 Good news?
Most people notice big improvements by making small changes—like better sleep posture, upgrading pillows, or adding a few morning stretches.
