Shoulder and neck problems are a headache for most people. If you often have shoulder and neck muscle pain, you should consider whether your pillow height is unqualified. Japanese experts said: “if you have shoulder and neck pain for a long time, you should consider the relationship between your pillow and your own pillow when you exclude the disease, and you should choose a pillow that is suitable for your hardness and height.”
inappropriate pillows can easily lead to shoulder and neck muscle fatigue.
Poor sleep at night, general fatigue in the morning, and headache may be accompanied. There may be two reasons for this. One is the symptom caused by ophthalmic or medical diseases, and the other may be the stiffness and pain of shoulder and neck muscles caused by maintaining the same posture for a long time.
In the case of this situation for a long time and the disease is ruled out through diagnosis, people should turn their attention to their commonly used pillows. “In general, there are many reasons for stiff and sore shoulder and neck muscles, but according to my survey, 60% – 70% of people are caused by using unsuitable pillows.” Japanese plastic surgeon Takeshi Yamada points out.
adjusting the height and hardness of the pillow can effectively relieve shoulder and neck pain.
A large number of autonomic nerves are gathered around the neck of the human body, and a large number of muscles support the head weighing 4-6kg. These muscles shoulder the heavy responsibility of supporting the head. When the pillow is too high or too low, it can not meet the height of the neck well. At this time, the discomfort of the shoulder and neck can easily interfere with sleep. At the same time, the shoulder and neck muscles can’t rest. After a night’s sleep, the shoulder and neck muscles that stay in the same position for too long are prone to stiffness and soreness. To improve this symptom, you first need to use a pillow that conforms to your shoulder and neck height.
First of all, when adjusting the height of the pillow, you can stack the bath towels and towels neatly and put them on a flat bed or the ground. Then, you can lie on a flat bed or the ground and rest your head on the bath towel to see if your breathing is easy. If the pillow is too high, it is easy to have poor breathing. Then gradually reduce the number of towels as needed to adjust the height. When the connecting line between the forehead, nose and jaw is parallel to the connecting line between the towel and the plane, the height is the best. It is better to roll left and right properly and turn around easily.
When choosing bedding, you should try to choose less bedding that is too soft for people to sink into. Too soft bedding can easily increase the burden on shoulder and neck muscles, and pillows should not be too soft or too hard. You should consider replacing pillows every six months to prevent deformed pillows from bringing unnecessary burden on your shoulders and neck.
