There are many different types of pillows on the market, and they are easily accessible at most department stores throughout Adelaide. This can make choosing the correct pillow a difficult task.
Not only does a pillow need to be comfortable, but it also needs to help support the neck and head while sleeping. The average person spends 8 hours sleeping, and if your pillow is not supporting your neck correctly you can end up with pain and discomfort in the neck, or even headaches and migraines from being held in the wrong position.
The pillow needs to be supportive enough to hold the head inline with the spine, but not too big that it pushes your neck to the end of the range of movement. At Back in Motion Prospect we always assess the head and neck position in sleeping when treating clients with neck pain or headaches. By looking at the biomechanics of your spine and understanding the pattern of a client’s pain, we can correctly identify the best pillow to help assist with their rehabilitation.
Our Flexi Pillows come in a range of styles and densities to suit all clients regardless of their sleeping style. Using a physiotherapist prescribed pillow, clients can assist their rehabilitation and improve the quality of their sleep, leading to optimal, life-long health.
