We can’t even sleep in peace, even sleeping has become complicated

i just wanna go look into a mirror and admire my body without having to cry that scoliosis ruins it.thats all i want right now.

Her: the worst postition is lying on the front. Me: *watching this while lying on my belly*

I was diagnosed with scoliosis at 15 years old and I’m now 68. I used to have a lot of pain with my scoliosis until 15 years ago, when I started doing stretches. When I get in bed at night, I spent five minutes on my back and no pillows under me pulling my knees to my chest, one at a time and then both together. You won’t be able to do it at first very close to your chest but after a while you’ll get all the way to your chest. Then in the morning before I get out of bed I spend another five minutes doing the same thing. I also, and I think this is the best tip, I keep a chin up bar in my doorway of my bedroom (make sure it’s the kind that screws in, because we can’t afford any accidents with our backs) every morning before I leave my room I hang on that bar with all my weight and I do partial pull-ups to strengthen my muscles in my back and arms and then again when I go in my room at night to go to bed, I do the same thing. During the day I will just hang on the bar when I go by it, and it feels so good and relaxing. Also, I sleep with a full size pillow under my big side and a thinner pillow under my head. I believe this really helps the curve and I know it feels great and lessons pain. Before I started paying attention and doing stretches, my back had a 69 degree curve and lots of pain, now I rarely have pain. My latest X-ray showed that my back had improved to 64 degrees. I have never had surgery but can bend and garden for hours. Always keep moving because if you don’t, you will lose the ability to. For some reason, finding out I had scoliosis never bothered me. You can either feel sorry for yourself and go down that hole, or you can accept it and move on. Either way, you are still going to have scoliosis! Pay attention to your posture and it will become habit to stand straight as you can and to hold you large side in better position. At 68, I can actually do more than most of my friends. I have strengthened my arm muscles so much, that I can actually cross monkey bars. This is something my grandkids brag to their friends about ;) There are many yoga poses that could be bad for your back but many stretches that will work for you. Work to stay flexible! Be very careful about getting adjustments, I’ve had 2 ribs cracked by chiropractors that were not very familiar with severe scoliosis. I have also found acupuncture to be very helpful if you get someone that really knows what they are doing. Massages are wonderful too!

Well, of course I've been sleeping wrong. And yes, my whole posture is conpletely fucked up because of it, Im constantly walking weird and my shoulders and other body parts are uneven. Lucky me.

I tried sleeping in one of these positions and noticed I don’t have rib pain anymore. Thank you so much for this! I was in a bunch of pain before. I’m only 13 as well. I also noticed my lower back pain is gone.

1:32 This is my favourite sleeping position 😂😂😂

The problem is I move around to much when i sleep and i end up hurting my back and my neck waking up.

Apparently sleeping on your back reduces wrinkles too

Oh okay *sleeps like I fell from the 7th floor *

Thank you there’s not much out there for scoliosis so videos like yours help so much

Thank you so much for this! I have found the McKenzie lumbar roll very helpful for supporting areas that don't need a big support. They do squash after a number of years and have to be replaced but they also have a lace up tie so it stays with you through the night.

I have S scoliosis, the same type as yogaberry. I always loved sleeping on my belly but recently it just hurt too much. Fortunately I fall asleep really quickly so I decided to sleep on my back and now it's better. I am also fortunate that I never move when I sleep :D Thanks for the tips!

best decisions I made is subscribing on your channel. I find your lessons very helpful.

Last time I slept on my back I got sleep paralysis so I haven’t slept on my back in more than 5 years lol

The visual tank really helped show what's going on in our body as we sleep certain ways and I see why I wake in so much pain and other days, I do not. Will work on being consistent in the right sleep positions because of your vid. Thanks so much

I had tried out one of her positions for sleeping (the sleeping on the side) and it was one of my best nights sleep I have had. Although I have only done this for one night I had noticed that my rib hump wasn’t as prominent. I’m going to continue sleeping like this to see better results:))

Very applied and helpful. I especially appreciated the use of a shirt showing an example scoliosis curve that allowed me to visualize how sleeping positions and sleeping props impact the curves. The shirt image combined with the demonstrations and verbal explanations really helped solidify my understanding of what techniques might best support back health during sleep. The educational video creatively and effectively combined the what and the why.

Very clear, concise help. I feel better already. Thanks so much for your visual demonstration with the lined tank top.

I have scoliosis and I finally found a great video about this!!

Thank you for your advice, so helpful for me. I was diagnos of scoliosis this month and I am worried about it.

Scoliosis can be controlled by yoga poses such as tadasan, ardhachakrasan and morning walk should be made a habit. Take constant breaks while doing your sedentary job. Like in this video you can keep a pillow or foam on your side for at least 15 min every day in the side in which scoliosis has occurred. In India sesame oil is very easily available... please apply that oil daily underneath your back... warming it a little with gentle massage and then taking a hot bag upon that area....the effects will be amazing... morning sunlight is very good for bones. And Yoga of course....May god eases everyone in pain. And take a soft pillow for sure as shown in this video.

Your shirt is the best thing ever. So helpful to get a visual of wth is going on!!

Finally! A well explained video < 3 Thank you !

This is exactly what I do when I'm sleeping cause I feel comfortable. I didn't know it was the proper positions

Thank you for sharing this it could help me to strengthen my way of how to sleep in the right position. I also suffer with the right curative thoracic spine scoliosis...looking forward to more contents

Thank you so much for this! I go to physical therapy and they make me sleep on my side with support under my top curve for half an hour (after the other movements) and I never really understood why. Not only did your video help me a lot, but it gave me such a better insight on what I am doing and why it is good for me :) I wish all of you luck with your scoliosis and I give you my blessings.

*me with scoliosis currently laying on my stomach*

WOAH you just nailed my sleeping position and it was the "not do this" one😩😩😩 i have scoliosis with two curves, i got surgery on the upper one (i got a metal bar, sorry idk the technical terms!!) and the lower one is free, and i've been trying to change my life lately because i'm 18 and i can't do a lot of stuff that i would like to do just because i am not taking care of myself, so i've been trying to change my habits lately, this was very helpful!!! im going to try and train myself to sleep on my back

So glad I found this. Thank you for sharing!

I have scoliosis too. So hard to find good sleeping position. I always felt aches when I woke up. Thanks for this vid.

Thank you so much 😊!

Thank you very much for this explanation

Very helpful video thanks!! 🙏

That’s how I sleep on my back ! I use a memory foam travel pillow so my head can stay still hahah I use a memory stuff animal on my lower back and a pillow underneath my knees, my body feels so relaxed 😴

Last position seems a best one . Need to train one hour everyday Right now i sleep on the position you explained 1st😄(wrong one

Thank you for the ideas for a good night's sleep. It seems a little pain never goes away.

My spine is at a 26 degree curve currently and I’ve known I’ve had scoliosis for about a year now. I hadn’t been taking it seriously but seeing all these comments makes me feel like an idiot. Thank you for the tips and I’m going to do my best to save my future self

Good job thanks !!! God bless you!!!

how to avoid it while standing too we need to know i guess

Just found out I have adult chronic scoliosis. I am subscribed’

I have found that a good quality feather & down pillow works best for me. I sleep on my back, but often switch to my side during the night. I will definitely try switching to my left side and with the small pillows as you demonstrated. Thank you for such a helpful video!

Idk why, but ever since I went through my scoliosis surgery I’ve found it the most comfortable to lie on my back. Before, I always lay on my stomach or side. It doesn’t feel very good anyone to lie on my stomach since I’m now very stiff and feel like I’m stuck in that position if I even try. It’s still comfortable lying on the side, but knowing I’ll get a lot of pain in my neck and upper back the next day makes it less worth it. I’m now finally comfortable with lying on my back. (I have 35° Rn btw, around 65-70° before surgery)

Thanks for your video.

I just watched this and the yoga poses to avoid video. Super important info 🙆😮💖💕 Thank you 🤗 💖

Thank you for this video!

The spine printed top is a great visual, brilliant

It's very helpful.Thank you so much😍

You said the most important thing is being comfortable and getting a good nights sleep. I am most comfortable lying on my front. I don't get a good night sleep when I lay on my back, plus I have a pinch nerve and it makes me feel worse.

Great advice! thanks!

I just found out I have thoracic scoliosis and the first thing you’re showing me is the exact position that I like to sleep in at night.

I’d sleep on my back but apparently I’m a horrible snorer 😂 Amazing demonstrating with the t-shirt. My curve is just like that!

Thank you for your video! I hope switching sleep position helps me to avoid pain as ppl said in the comment box

I have scoliosis was diagnosed 2015 but been feeling pain from 2010 and didn't know. Luckily I was only mild, I was on physiotherapy for almost a year it did really helped. Even the heat strikes. These days the pain coming back even more often before I stop exercising yrs now. Daily I have pain.

1:35 I was in this position watching this video

Sleeping in the First position for years and wondering why my Back Hurts in the morning so Bad😅 thank you so much for this Video and you AS a human being

This video very very useful to me tqqq i am big fan of you's madum

So helpful. Thank you very much!

If i sleep every way every sing night ebery night each postition I do nothong happens to me i n each morning i wake up and nothing happens tk me im normal

I did gymnastics for 14 years since I was 3. I always used to do handstands and make a little bridge with my back. Last year I heard I had scoliosis and I was devastated by the news of not being able to do gymnastics for the rest of my life. They were worried about if I would grow straight if I did gyms, so I immediately had to stop. Sometimes I still feel different and not like I am worth what others are. I k is that’s not true, but the feeling of not being able to do things is unpleasant. And no one at school wants to help me with things. They just like to make fun of me for it. Sorry. Just wanted to have that off my chest. Thanks for these tips! Bye! 😽

I sit on my stomach on the floor sometimes to relieve my scoliosis pain like I was doing while watching this but my doctor told me to sleep on my back and my pain will go away so she speaks truth

Thanks for taking time about this

I choke with saliva when I sleep on my back

my belly is my favourite place to sleep D:

Thank you so much for your demo. Very coprehensive.

I’ve been sleeping on my front from that first example and I have scoliosis from cheerleading, thank you for showing better options.

ok but sleep paralysis

Who else wants a scoliosis T-shirt to help figure out what I'm doing wrong?

thank you for this i'll try it out

very informative and helpful , thank you, will try side ones, but not sure how I stick to them, I always begin by lying on back and end up on the belly since this is the most comfortable position for me to fall asleep, may be it takes some practice and persistence like in other aspects of our lives :))

I used to sleep on my stomach when I was young before I knew I might have scoliosis

she said everthing i do on sleeping on my stomach kkkkk

I sleep on my back it is horrible. I have scoliosis. So glad I found your channel 😌❤️🔥

Lifesaver! Thank you so much ❤

I have cervical scoliosis pain in whole neck and upper spinal cord and strentum can't lift weight also and do work

"The worst sleeping position for scoliosis." Literally instinctively thats always how i want to lay omg haha ugh noooo lol at least i know now

All makes sense. Thank you

So I was diagnosed with scoliosis yesterday and I'm a side sleeper but only since I had a discectomy on my lower lumbar in 2018 for a herniated disc so back sleeping hurts now.I'm glad side sleeping is ok for scoliosis although I still struggle to sleep coz I was so used to back sleeping. I don't get good sleep at all......I flip from one side to the other all night. 🥺 Neck pain, thoracic and lumbar pain constantly!!! I literally know nothing about this condition so I'm glad I found this channel and community. Been feeling a bit sorry for myself today. 🥺

Unfortunately,lying on my belly would ease the pain if it's too unbearable for me brb crying

We recently found out that my cousin had scoliosis and now my mom wants me checked. Is there any sleeping positions to just prevent it all together?

I just diagnose as Mild Dextroscoliosis thoracic spine. And thank you very for this informative details and actions yoga 😊

Another Excellent video. Thank you very much!

my left side waist is curvier,its worst now...i guess its because i lie on my left sides nowadays alot...and i cant lie on my back its uncomfortable how to fix this?

Yoga exercise pls. I think we have the same scoliosis

Thanks I’m going to try your tips an hope it helps

thank you very much

I sleep on my sides, back and RARELY my stomach. I have scoliosis too lol

*I've been diagnosed with scoliosis and, I sleep with a back brace. The right side touches my armpit and the left side goes down to my thigh. Would that have a negative effect on the sleeping positions you advised???? I usually try to sleep on my back. I used ur advice. But, will it hurt my back more???*

lifechanging video thank you so much beautiful, god bless you

Thankyou for your advice madem❤️

Bob and brad talk about this

My right side goes numb when I sleep on my back because my shoulder blade protrudes

I mostly sleep on the back I really think that it helps alot :)

I thought I was crazy for using so many pillows. Thanks Yogaberry for showing me otherwise!

Is it better to sleep on your back or your side if you're using a brace?

Is it only me but my scoliosis affectes my ribs so one sunk in and the other is coming out

Thank you so much my dear ❤

Wow! This explains why I wake up in tears at night! 😩 no more tummy sleeping for me! I thought it was my mattress.

i had a sleep paralysis laying on my back lol

But when ppl sleep they move different position so they wake up on whole different position like me
