RESTORE YOUR POSTURE WHILE YOU SLEEP

Couches and recliners, screen time and technology, school and work places, our habits how we eat and live affect and fixate the compression and tightness in the fascia of the head and neck which produces an enormous effect on our health.

WHY?

Major nerve, vagus nerve, runs through the base of the skull, that controls our digestion, breathing, heart rate and immunity. The tightness of the fascia due to repeated fixated positions blocks the blood flow and compresses the vagus nerve.

Laying on a pillow puts the neck into a cervical flexion, hours and hours of shortened position will tighten the front of the neck and it will become increasingly difficult to lay down without the propping of the head on the pillow. But it also, makes the nervous system alert due to the positioning of the vagus nerve. When sleeping should be for resting and rejuvenation, it becomes a cortisol producing time.

By combining your daily activities that strain the neck with compressing sleeping position will create many issues. The headaches, an eye strain, blurry vision that you might contribute to hereditary or aging are due to neck and vagus nerve being compressed.

Because vagus nerve controls our immune system organs, the inflammation, bloating and food sensitivities stem from your postural patterns.

Most common exercise prescribed for forward head posture is stretching, chin tucks and pinching your shoulder blades. Which in truth will do more harm than good in your later years.

Only the postural rewiring of the nervous system designed for your unique circumstances, history and needs that work in conjunction with your lifestyle is the ultimate solution.

Depending on your needs and circumstances, I would recommend slowly working up to sleeping without a pillow or a very small folded towel.
