In a recent article on the best mattresses to ease shoulder pain, HelpGuide.Org featured Physical Therapy Central Dr. Devin Trachman, PT, DPT, MTC, Clinic Director of Physical Therapy Central’s West Edmond Clinic.
Dr. Trachman suggests that people with shoulder pain should avoid sleeping on their stomachs or with their arms overhead, as these positions can cause excess rotation and increase pain. Instead, she recommends sleeping on your back or side with the non-painful shoulder against the mattress. Trachman also advises using pillows to maintain proper spinal alignment and reduce strain on the shoulder, which can improve comfort and potentially alleviate pain.
If you have any questions or concerns about shoulder pain, don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment with a Physical Therapy Central physical therapist. Your health and safety are our top priority.
