How to Tell if Your Mattress is Causing You Back Pain

Beds4U New Plymouth

When back pain strikes unexpectedly, it may be both annoying and confusing. What is causing your back discomfort if you haven't made any changes to your normal routine?

The solution might be in your mattress. There are several red flags to check for to determine whether your mattress is to fault. The first indicator is when you have a backache. If you have back discomfort when you first wake up, but you can stretch it away in 15-30 minutes, your mattress is doing more damage than good.

Also, if you find yourself waking up more frequently or tossing and turning in bed, this should be another red flag. Even if you do not suffer from back problems, you should change your mattress every eight to ten years for a healthier lifestyle and better sleep quality.

Bowen Therapy, the gentle fascia release technique

Annemarie from Holistic Health Taranaki

Pain will put you into stress mode, into fight-or-flight. It tightens your muscles and locks your breathing.
No rest, repair or restore can happen when we are in fight-flight.
This is why Bowen Therapy is different from many modalities. It works with gentle moves, and most of the time, works below the pain threshold.

It helps to stimulate your body into repair and restore, and avoid further fight and flight.
The clinic is open throughout January, reach out to book an appointment or use the online booking link to find the best day and time for you💚
