The video discusses how to fix hunchback posture while sleeping. Hunchback posture is caused by repeated position practice (RPP), where the body adapts to a curved position. To correct this, the video provides tips for different sleeping positions:
1. Back sleepers: Use a thin pillow to support the head and neck, keeping the spine straight. Remove extra pillows and use a rolled-up towel or stack of towels to find the right height.
2. Side sleepers: Find a comfortable position with a thin pillow, avoiding a big stack of pillows that can crank the head and neck into a weird position.
3. Face-down sleepers: Avoid stacking pillows to fix hunchback posture, as this can lead to low back soreness and worsen the condition. Instead, use a pillow under the pelvis and tummy to reduce the curve in the lower spine.
Additionally, the video suggests:
* Reducing the intensity of the curve in the lower spine by using a pillow under the pelvis and tummy
* Fine-tuning the ideas for your bed, body, and preferences
* Avoiding propping yourself up with pillows while reading before bed, instead using a wall or headboard for support
* Keeping the body relatively open while sleeping on your side, avoiding a tight hunchback ball
