Where you spend one third of your life could be the cause of your back pain!
Your bed and your back pain, are they related? It seems some people are starting to listen to my entreaties about taking better care of their back as well as what to do when there is an actual problem. No, they are not beating a path to my (internet) door as yet. It also took a few months before my practices were full to overflowing; back pain at the moment is like an epidemic. Why is that? mainly because people are not informed of facts; rather, they would believe their traditional sources like doctors and sports teachers. The treatments and the maintenance of a healthy back are well covered. What has been forgotten or is ignored, is something peole do to themselves daily (or nightly); they sleep on a bed that causes them more problems than they are aware of.
Double Bed Mattress
How old is your bed? If it is more than ten years old, it is time to look at it. Maybe it is not strong enough for the weight you have gained. If it is over fifteen years, throw it out. Are you sleeping double? Is there a great weight difference? Then one of you or maybe both is not sleeping optimally.
One third of our lives are spent in bed, yet in proportion to other items we must purchase for our everyday living, it it turns out to be our cheapest investment... it should not be! We spend more for our computers and especially our cars, yet neither is as important as the bed we sleep in. The problem is the concept and the marketing. We are shown images of what we want to see, a woman (usually) lying on a mattress which is conforming to her bodily curves; the thing is, nobody sleeps like that! We curl, we have several positions, the most common is to revert to some adaptation of the foetal position. If you check the internet you will find literally thousands of bed variations, all claiming to be beneficial to your back.
Clever bed manufacturers should spend more time educating on the facts and promoting through therapists than furniture warehouses. In my small practice I am responsible for several new bed sales (with no commission). The most important fact that is lost on all, is that you don't have to think about your mattress as the possible cause of your back pain or backache problems, it has to do with the entire bed, mattress and base! A new mattress on an old bed, especially a 'slatted' base ( a frame with wooden slats stretched across and suspended by rubber ends) becomes very quickly an old mattress. It is like putting a new motor in an old car. The slat bed base is a very popular kind of bed here, maybe because it is cheaper to manufacture. As it is my practice flourishes as a result until they change to a real bed :-)
Naturally, optimal sleeping support is difficult, everybody is different and some can sleep hanging on a clothesline. Whatever the sleeping position, the classic inner spring mattress on a matching innerspring base is still superior. Technology has not improved upon this traditional bed although I have seen very good results with the three or five chamber air bed that has remote control for virtually every section. As for water beds...?
You need not take life as it comes.
