Hook

I'm a side sleeper and I have a belly pooch. I'm a side sleeper and mine is nice and tight. So what's the difference? I sleep on a regular pillow. And to try and get comfortable, I will usually tuck my hands under my chin or sometimes put my arm under my pillow. And I really like to hike my leg up, basically twisting myself into a pretzel to get comfortable. But because I sleep all rotated like this and I drop my hip forward, I tend to have a lot of hip pain. Sometimes it feels like I have a rib out. And from rounding forward in the shoulders, I have a lot of shoulder pain and sometimes even neck pain. I used to wake up in a lot of pain, but my physical therapist told me to start sleeping with an ergonomic body pillow. He said that when I was sleeping on a regular pillow, it was actually stretching my core muscles out and it was weakening my glutes, which was causing my pelvis to tilt into an anterior pelvic tilt position. And by switching to an ergonomic body pillow, I can actually support my core and spine and get into this neutral position, which helps everything look flatter. So I just take this hook, shove it between my legs, the middle of the pillow supports my core, and then this hook goes right in my neck. So now because my knees are stacked, I don't have any pressure or pain in my hip. I'm not rounding forward and smashing my shoulders, and my core and joints are all in a neutral position. So not only am I helping my posture, but I'm actually sleeping and waking up without pain. And as a hot sleeper, I actually really love the cooling pillowcase it comes with so that I don't overheat at night. My body just feels so much more supported. And my husband loves that I can actually roll over and not take up half the bed. I used to think body pillows were only for pregnant women, but now that I've been sleeping with it, I feel like everyone can benefit from sleeping with a body pillow. And I really like this one specifically from Mello because it has those four ergonomic zones, so I'm truly supported head to toe all night. I'll leave a link below for you, hopefully that sale is still going on by the time you see this video.
