Thanks 👍🏾

[@MrGoodToons]

I learned nothing from this video. You filled it up with useless fluffy info and your big "powerful step" is not a tip or anything useful or new, and is not related to sleeping at all. You teased me with hope of helping with sleep and you did not deliver.

[@lesliefritz9854]

Unfortunately not much at all.

[@sashacurcic1719]

For anyone trying to learn to sleep on their back, as a lifelong side sleeper, I've found sleeping with a modestly heavy pillow on my chest to hug or even just to provide a sorta "grounding" weight makes it way easier. I still don't always stay on my back 100% of the night, but I am able to fall asleep on my back and stay asleep for a larger proportion of the night. And it does generally help my back/hips. In case anyone finds this helpful.

[@eclecticwitch4515]

you're a godsend for this

[@cliffandtessahorton3366]

Thank you so much! I am also a side sleeper

[@ryder710]

a weighted blanket works too

[@ash-qs7jk]

Thank you sasha it will be helpful I guess.

[@gaythugsmatter7029]

I was doing this naturally and thought I was alone

[@bigschnozer576]

I’ve been sleeping on my side my entire life, and I think that’s the root cause for my rounded shoulders now that I’m working out and try to better myself I’ve noticed that the rounded shoulders really mess up the overall look of my physique

[@Omega-EP]

Yep, I have the same issue. The hypochondriac in me is really starting to fear for my well-being. Imagine having huge quads but tiny shoulders due to not being able to train them because of "minor" long term injuries like this.

[@nat3199]

agreed, plus rideshare driving totally ruined mine too... people were starting to say "Wow you have big traps!" as more or less a compliment (and i do work out) but no.... the truth is my giant, painful stress knots and rounded posture. it sucks not having the nice back i used to... trying to stay patient and keep at it.

[@chloehammond2836]

I would do stretches and exercises to fix my rounded shoulders but every time I woke up my neck and shoulders would be stiff and sore. I realized not only was I sleeping on my side but also twisted with one leg bent which is literally the worst position. I started sleeping more on my back and my shoulders are naturally pulling themselves back. I’m still working out the mid/lower traps, obliques, and rhomboids as well as chest opening stretches and the combo of this plus adjusted sleep positioning in just one week has helped TREMENDOUSLY! Hope someone finds this encouraging ❤

[@rykarr]

Thank you so much...I've had poor shoulder posture, rounded shoulders my whole life and have worked on it off and on through the years. Your videos are so helpful to me. Thank you.

[@Uprighthealth]

I'm happy to help. ☺ Try our suggestions. It's worth a shot.

[@nazninshaikh6272]

I don't know why your voice is sooooo soothing...and definitely your advices are effective

[@musicjunkie8228]

I really appreciate the acknowledgment that we can’t sleep in one position all night very comfortably. I’ve been guilting myself and thinking there’s something wrong with me that I can’t stick to one position and wake up in pain as a result

[@alyssaholden]

I just watched an entire 8-minute video to learn how to fix rounded shoulders only to learn that I should have watched a *different* video to learn how to fix rounded shoulders.

[@g0nz0man]

Yeah, kind of wasted time. At least you shouldn't think about sleeping position anymore;-)

[@yt-caio]

yeah title: how to sleep to fix.. video: sleep wont work, use this exercises 🤡🤡🤡

[@purplegi0n]

You can definitely learn to lay in 1 position all night long. When I was living on the streets I would often be in a narrow doorway & staying where I was was important. I have no idea how long it took me, but I can stay flat on my back for the entire night, so long as what I'm sleeping on isn't too soft.

[@heart.shaped.locket]

I know this is quite an old comment but still, just wanted to say I'm sorry you had to experience that, and I'm hoping that now you are safe and comfortable ♥️

[@longebane]

I don’t get the point of this comment. There’s lots of things we can learn that is detrimental to our bodies and our health. He even pointed out the example of nurses needing to manually move patients who are sleeping in one position all night.

[@paridhisVlogs]

I am going through this right now and unable to find best sleeping position. I have been suffering from 1 and a half year and today I found your video. I can relate to each word you shared in this video and grateful for all the links attached to recover. Thank you so much. I think my suffering is now over

[@MsABee1]

Right on time! I’m definitely struggling with getting comfortable sleep due to my shoulders.

[@Uprighthealth]

👍 Perfect! Check out the links for the exercises below the video. Hope it helps.

[@yishujia186]

I know these tips. When I do the exercises to improve my rounded shoulder, my upper traps try to take over. It seems every solution I learned give me a new problem.

[@royst680]

I have the exact same problem.

[@lw7654]

Me too

[@hatewillneverwin.]

best solution is to workout the entire body, nothing will be weak then

[@codylynde5429]

You must release the knots in the upper trap first then do the low trap exercise.

[@jeroendelaat6899]

this has been the most time consuming video that didnt tell me anything ever

[@nohandle-01]

Was looking for a magic solution so this really helped cut through wasting time and get to the heart of the problem. Thank you

[@LOLEliSays]

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!! I’ve been looking for a video like this forever!

Telling people that sleeping im on your stomach is “slightly better” without explaining why sleeping on ur stomach is actually terrible for every other part of ur body is a bit dangerous…

It's also that the traps pull the arm up....even laying on your back

Hello, thank you so much for this. Please, hoe long does it take to see results.

[@lw7654]

I have to sleep on my back. I have rounded shoulders but wayy worse on my left side(painful side). I’ve had 2 pt’s tell me I have an elevated left rib also. My neck is also involved b/c of the contraction of the shoulders pulling on my cervical spine. I switch from sitting in a recliner to sleep, to the bed, to the couch. I do not move. I sleep like a corpse seriously. I never know when I get up how my neck will react from being pulled on. Sometimes, I get slight dizziness lasts only about 3 seconds then it’s ok. I can take the pain on the neck /shoulder, but not the unsteadiness of the neck. We have bought 2 new mattresses over the course of 2 years. I still cannot get comfortable on any pillow. I even have a wedge and a cervical pillow which is just as bad. I keep trying and am hoping once I fix this rounded shoulder, things will get better.

[@SleepingLionUK]

This video came up going to my daily exercises ...have you tried seeing if its your pelvis outta whack (you can get it from prolonged sitting in a bad postural position). Look up tilted pelvis videos as this effects posture, hips, gait, shoulders and full body alignment etc. I felt your comment as I sleep like a corpse too!! due to my pelvis with pillow under knee. Ive found that if your pelvis is straightened your shoulders the rest literally falls into place a bit easier/comfier. Sit on a flat, straightback chair rather than a comfy couch slouch position (,I know its hard) n do lots of lying down pelvic thrust n bridge exercises Theres an exercise too, to stand against a wall arms up palms against wall then tuck chin in and squat.. Stretches out your shoulders. All the best.

[@melissaakanubby8774]

L W I have severe muscle & nerve pain in upper back Right Shoulder & Entire Arm & Hand that I will wake up screaming & crying. I’m a traumatic left arm at the elbow amputee & I’ve overworked my right arm for 14 years. I get real bad insomnia because of the pain but when I do finally get to sleep I had to sleep in the recliner because I couldn’t lay flat,or on my side since it put way to much pressure on my right side. I actually slept in the recliner for 3 years not good on a marriage lol plus the recliner started to hurt my lower back hips etc. I ended up buying a King or 2 XL Twin size Head & Foot Adjustable bed frame (easier if I have to readjust in the middle of the night so I wouldn’t disturb my hubby) Buying that has been the best decision!!! Now it’s more comfortable to sleep on my back I actually get more then a few hours of sleep & I only suffer from my insomnia once in awhile. Hopefully maybe it’ll help you

[@DP-ml8uw]

I noticed that my shoulders still go into rounded position when I'm laying flat on my back.. I found that it helps if i sleep with something pushing my middle upperback so that my arms can fall back, but its hard to keep that setup through the night. Anyone know of something that is specifically made for that? I exercise and strength train regularly and have been to PT with some improvement but still a daily struggle..

[@randomguider6555]

i can't sleep on my back cause i think too much and generally i kinda half sleep through the night and wake up exhausted, i also cannot sleep on my stomach because my ribs are pressing on my lungs and i have deviated septum...

[@valvihk3649]

I have a shoulder dislocation problem. It’s easily dislocated and certain angle I know you have videos on your channel But It’s not a pain problem . I don’t feel pain until my shoulder is dislocated from : throwing a ball or stretching . How can I strengthen my shoulder to prevent dislocation.

[@jasonheggie6747]

Hey I just happened to come across this comment in which I had the same problem in both shoulders, which I received surgery on my right shoulder for. I have a program which includes face pulls, external and internal rotation exercises, front lateral raises, done with resistance bands for high reps. Assuming we have the same problem which the shoulder pops out for just a few seconds then pops back in when the arm is all the way at the top of range of motion. Another tip is I do shoulder press but I keep my hands internally rotated and don’t go all the way until my arms are straight keeps shoulder in less vulnerable spot. Chin ups over pull ups too

or pillow

[@titiasplantedaquariums]

I had neckpain before to after getting up. I bought a flat, but good supporting pillow with slightly raised side edges and a square front with slight indent. That way your neck stays in a good position when laying on your back. A good, firm mattress helps a lot to. To soft is not good.

[@titiasplantedaquariums]

My pillow is from the brand Cinderella, orthoflex 2.0 extra soft type. The cost was around 80 euro, but after one nap for 20 minutes fixed my neckpain instantly. Your muscles can relax more, because the head (which ways around 8 kilo) is well supported.
