Neck Pain After Sleeping: 4 Reasons Why and What To Do About It

Neck Pain After Sleeping

Did you wake up this morning with a stiff neck—the kind where you can’t look over your shoulder or tilt your head comfortably? Neck pain after sleeping is extremely common, with several possible causes and, thankfully, multiple ways to address and prevent it.

  1. Underlying Trauma
    A history of trauma, like whiplash or a sports injury, can leave tissues tight, tender, or misaligned for years. Sometimes, the pain only shows up after sleeping when the body relaxes, cools down, and habitual tension “sets” into bad alignment. Not addressing acute issues right away can make future correction more difficult. Early, targeted mobility training and corrective exercise are key—even if the pain doesn’t seem urgent at first.
  2. Postural or Overuse Strain
    Desk work, smartphone use, and “tech neck” (forward head posture) retrain the body into poor alignment and chronic muscle tension. If you spend 8+ hours daily hunched forward, but only do an hour of corrective work (at best), the imbalance accumulates. This commonly leads to stiffness and pain after sleeping, when tissues contract and “remember” their imbalances. Address this by restoring shoulder, mid-back, and neck alignment; balance technology habits with posture- and flexibility-focused routines.
  3. Pathology
    Conditions like cervical radiculopathy, stenosis, or arthritis can all manifest overnight or in the morning as nerve signaling and disc pressures change with position. Persistent or worsening pain—especially with numbness, tingling, or weakness—deserves prompt professional assessment and a customized plan.
  4. Sleep Position, Pillow, and Recovery
    A poor sleep setup (too many pillows, sleeping on your stomach, or a lumpy mattress) disrupts healthy neck curves and strains muscles. Too little sleep or constant sleep interruption impairs tissue repair and healing, leading to more frequent or severe neck pain. The right pillow, good alignment, and consistent sleep hygiene are foundational for prevention.

What To Do About It

  • Start with gentle mobility: Hot showers, light stretching, and slow, easy neck movements can help “wake up” the tissues.
  • Consider alternating ice and heat to manage acute pain or inflammation.
  • Prioritize a balanced sleep setup: Neutral head/neck alignment, supportive pillows, and sleeping on your back or side (not your stomach).
  • Incorporate posture-focused, corrective, and mobility exercises throughout the day, not just after the pain sets in.
  • Seek professional help for persistent, severe, or radiating pain, especially if it comes with other symptoms.

How To Brace Your Core To Protect Your Lower Back!

core bracing for back pain

Click on the image to watch the video

Bracing the core is one of the most effective ways to stabilize and protect the lower back—during heavy lifting, dynamic movement, or simply daily tasks. But “bracing” is more than just squeezing your abs. To truly protect your spine, you need to know which core muscles matter, how to train them, and how to integrate them into all movement—not just during workouts.

What Is Core Bracing (And Why Should You Care)?

Core bracing simply means contracting all the muscles of your trunk front, sides, back, even the pelvic floor to create a “girdle” of stability around your spine. Think of how the body naturally tenses before a big exertion or if someone is about to punch you in the stomach—this helps distribute forces evenly and prevents sudden overload on any single spot in the spine.

Which Muscles Are Involved?

True bracing integrates:

  • All four layers of the abdominals (rectus, obliques, transversus, internal/external)
  • Deep spinal stabilizers (multifidi, transversospinalis)
  • The diaphragm (breathing muscle)
  • Pelvic floor
  • Back muscles (erectors, lats, serratus, etc.)

These muscles must function as a coordinated system to evenly “brace” the spine—so no one link becomes the weak point.

The Keys to Smart Bracing and Injury Prevention

  • Start With Deep Muscles: Deep stabilizers (like the TVA and deep back muscles) activate first to prepare the body for movement.
  • Progress to Superficial Muscles: Once deep muscles are awake, train global movers like obliques and erectors in different planes—flexion, extension, rotation, lateral stability.
  • The Beam Phenomenon: During squats and deadlifts, bracing helps the spine act like a strong beam—so force moves through the trunk, instead of collapsing onto the lower back.
  • Don’t Overuse Bracing: You don’t need to brace every second of the day—only before higher-effort movements or when lifting, twisting, or reaching. For daily life, your core should work reflexively after proper training.

How To Learn (And Progress) Core Bracing

  • Awareness: Practice “bracing for a punch” lying on your back, feeling your abs, sides, and lower back tighten in unison.
  • Breathe While Braced: It’s crucial to maintain breathing—a true brace allows for expansion and natural breath, not holding.
  • Segmentally Strengthen: Build up reps of basic holds, then layer in movements (squat, hinge, carry, overhead press).
  • Stretch and Normalize Weak Links: Segmentally train deep stabilizers, then all layers of abs and back, then global movements.
  • Integrate Into Your Life: The real win is a core that reflexively supports you during life—not one that needs constant conscious effort.

With a systematic approach—segmental strength, fascial training, posture work—bracing becomes second nature, and lower back injuries become far less likely—whether you’re working at a desk or lifting heavy in the gym.

If you want a holistic program that’s more than “just another ab workout” and addresses your needs down to the weak links, we can help. Book a [free consult] to get a custom plan for a strong, pain-free back and a core that keeps you resilient for life.

4 Steps On How Not To Get Frustrated With A Corrective Exercise Program

frustration corrective exercise

Click on the image to watch the video

Getting injured isn’t just painful it’s often maddening, especially when a corrective exercise program seems slow, confusing, or never-ending. The good news? There are concrete ways to break the cycle of frustration, so you can move forward in your recovery and come back stronger than ever.

Step 1: Get Specific and Get Curious

Most frustration comes from generic, surface-level advice—“just do X for your knee,” or “try this for your back.” But lasting results require a specific, holistic perspective. Zoom out: assess all the tissues, joints, and habits involved, not just the “squeaky wheel.” Don’t be afraid to ask more questions of your coach, read beyond the basics, or demand an individualized approach that’s tailored to the real cause of your issue—not just the symptoms.

Step 2: Stop the Comparison Game Own Your Pace

Corrective exercise takes time. Symptoms often last because underlying compensations have built up for months or years. Don’t get stuck comparing yourself to “fast healers” or internet testimonials. Accept that the process is nonlinear, and that small, focused wins build the fastest long-term progress. The less negative self-talk, the easier it gets to keep showing up and doing the right things every day.

Step 3: Expect “Productive” Discomfort Not Suffering

It’s totally normal for corrective exercises to feel challenging, awkward, or sometimes uncomfortable—especially if soft tissue is stiff, joints are sticky, or new patterns are required. But true suffering means you’re doing the wrong exercise, too much, too soon, or fighting the process. Learn to distinguish between healthy training discomfort and bad pain. Treat each session as a chance to practice patience, breathe deeply, and learn from experience—not just to “grind through.”

Step 4: Find Acceptance and Focus on What You Control

Frustration around injury often comes from wanting to skip steps or fast-forward the process. Instead, accept your current state, focus on consistent progress, and get curious about deeper aspects of health, movement, or mindset you may have previously overlooked. The more you accept and fully engage, the faster—and more lasting—your results will be. (And if you get stuck, find a trusted guide or support community.)

[Segmental Muscle Strengthening]

Corrective exercise is much more than a fix for a body part it’s a mindset and a toolkit for lifelong mobility, injury-prevention, and lasting change. Embrace the journey, adjust your expectations, and celebrate progress one step at a time.

Back Pain After Covid

back pain after covid

Click on the image to watch the video

Are you dealing with back pain after COVID-19? You’re not alone. Back pain is one of the most common lingering symptoms after both infection and recovery a challenge felt by people of all ages and activity levels.

Why Back Pain Happens After Covid

Back pain can be a direct effect of COVID due to myalgia—generalized muscle and soft tissue pain caused by your body’s inflammatory response to fighting off the virus or as a side effect of the vaccine. Inflammation doesn’t always end when you test negative; your body might continue “defending” for weeks or even months, causing ongoing aches and back pain. This is part of what is known as “long COVID”.

Indirect causes are just as important:
Many people become more sedentary after (or during) illness—sitting more, working from home, and losing their regular movement and exercise routines.
Stress and lack of work-life balance increase tension, particularly in the spine, neck, and back.
Dehydration, already a common problem, is made worse as your body uses more water during infection and healing, leaving your discs and fascia less resilient.

Is It “Just” Covid, or Something Else?

If you notice new or worsening back pain after COVID, ask:

  • Was the pain present before, and is it worse now?
  • Are there other aches, joint issues, or general body pain? If so, it could be “long COVID.”
  • If you’re simply sitting more, skipping movement, or under new types of stress—those factors can be just as powerful.

Always follow up with your healthcare team to rule out reinfection or other health issues. For most, the pain is NOT dangerous, but persistent inflammation, dehydration, inactivity, or stress must be addressed for full recovery.

What Should You Do?

  1. Hydrate thoroughly. Start each day with water and keep drinking throughout the day to rehydrate the spine, joints, and fascia.
  2. Rebuild your work/life boundaries. Set opening/closing routines (especially if working from home), get up regularly, and don’t allow “life creep” into all hours.
  3. Move more—gently and consistently. Aim for general daily activity (steps, gentle walks), not just “weekend warrior” blasts. Progress specific corrective exercises for your back, core, and posture as you recover.
  4. Mind your stress. Take time to rest, get outside, meditate, and actively de-stress—your body and back will thank you.
  5. Start or restart a balanced corrective/exercise program. Don’t jump right into intense workouts; first, restore foundational control and flexibility so your body adapts, not just compensates.

[Myofascial Stretching: The Best Total Body Active Stretches]

Persistent back pain after COVID is often multifactorial and almost always holistic in solution hydration, gentle movement, stress management, and a sustainable corrective program are key.

Sciatic Pain Secrets

sciatic pain

Sciatic pain isn’t just a pain in the hip, butt, or leg—it’s a debilitating problem that can take over every aspect of daily life. If you’ve been searching for a cure and nothing works, you’re not alone: the sciatic nerve can be irritated or compressed at many different points, so a generic program will almost never be enough.

Why Formulaic Treatments Fail

Most conventional protocols target one or two common areas: the lumbar spine (disc herniation, bone spurs) or piriformis syndrome. But the real “secret” is that problems can start anywhere along the nerve’s path—from the lower back to the hip, fascial chains, hamstrings, or even the calf. If your care only focuses on one link, you might see little change—or even make things worse.

A Personal Story

Having suffered sciatic pain for years, I went through the checklist: imaging, painkillers, physical therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, yoga, pilates, and endless McKenzie exercises. Like many, I found partial, temporary relief—but never truly got my life back until I learned to assess the whole body and embrace a holistic, structure-first approach.

The Real Underlying Causes

  • Nerve root compression: Lumbar disc bulges, herniation, or spinal stenosis pinch the root of the nerve, sending radiating pain downward.
  • Piriformis & fascial entrapment: The nerve can be compressed as it passes through or alongside the piriformis, gluteal, or hamstring muscles, or by tight and fibrotic fascia.
  • Connective tissue “stickiness”: Fascia or scar tissue can tether or irritate the nerve anywhere in its course from the spine to the foot.
  • Other contributors: Poor hydration, poor posture, weak links in the core or lower chain, and poor movement mechanics can all keep the nerve “on edge” even after the initial injury.

What Actually Works

  • Pinpoint the true source of your pain with proper testing—don’t just trust imaging reports. Functional nerve tests and hands-on evaluations unveil what really needs work.
  • Address the whole kinetic chain:
  • Stretch and normalize not just the low back or piriformis, but also the glutes, hamstrings, and calf muscles (especially in cases where the sciatic nerve gets “tethered”).
    • Use mobility training, fascia-focused techniques, and segmentally-strong corrective exercises to restore healthy nerve gliding.
  • Stay patient and persistent: The longer pain has been present, the deeper the compensation and the longer re-education will take. Good “hurts” (tightness, stretch, mild ache from exercise) are necessary; avoid sharp, worsening zaps or numbness.
  • Holistic support matters: Hydration, sleep, mindful movement, and stress management are all essential for full nerve recovery and prevention of relapse.

BACK PAIN, HERNIATIONS, VISCERAL PROBLEMS, FATIGUE: Signs Your Core Muscles Are Weak

weak core signs

Weakness in your core is about much more than just missing “six-pack” abs. It’s the foundation of how your body functions daily impacting pain, injury risk, posture, digestion, and energy. Here’s how a truly weak core reveals itself, how these problems are connected, and what to do about it.

What Actually Is the Core And Why Does It Matter?

Your true core is a wide, complex system: four layers of abdominals, three layers of spinal erectors, the diaphragm, pelvic floor, intercostals, lats, pecs, and even parts of your glutes and hip flexors. These muscles are surrounded and integrated by robust fascia, forming your body’s “corset” for stability, movement, and organ support.

A strong core anchors your upper and lower body—power ripples out through it whether you’re running, lifting, cleaning, or simply standing and turning. When your core is weak, force doesn’t distribute through your system and ends up causing strain, injury, or dysfunction elsewhere.

1. Back Pain and Why You Can’t Fix It from the Outside

Back pain is the most classic sign of a weak or deconditioned core. Your abdominal muscles (especially the deep TVA) and the layers of back extensors are responsible for keeping the natural spinal curves and providing “active stability” to every vertebra. When the core can’t do this job, small muscles and ligaments are overloaded, discs degenerate, and pain is inevitable.

Chronic sitting, stress, and dehydration make this even worse: the discs between the vertebrae need water and dynamic core support to stay “fluffy” and absorb shock. If your core coordination is off, those discs flatten, allow unnatural movement, and eventually trigger pain—no matter how often you stretch or see a chiropractor.

2. Herniations Spinal and Visceral

Core weakness doesn’t just set you up for spinal disc herniations. If there’s a literal or functional “hole” (from weak, stretched, or deconditioned tissues), your thoracic and abdominal organs can shift and even herniate out of their natural compartments. Classic examples include weak points in the abdominal wall (inguinal or umbilical hernias) and “internal” herniations, where organs slip through diaphragmatic or pelvic floor defects.

Pascal’s Law—the principle that pressure applied to a fluid spreads equally in every direction—applies here. When your core can’t “hold pressure,” force escapes through the path of least resistance, causing pain, tissue strain, or an actual bulge. Keeping the abdominal wall strong, coordinated, and flexible gives you a true “wall,” not a revolving door.

3. Visceral and Digestive Problems

The core is also your body’s anchor for digestive health and internal motility. Weakness or loss of tension in the deeper tissues—especially the diaphragm and abdominal wall—reduces both the stability and movement of your organs, affecting drainage, blood flow, and bowel motility. That can mean sluggish digestion, bloating, or a feeling of heaviness that no medication seems to fix.

If your core is “loose,” your organs aren’t supported and can’t do their job. When you retrain the diaphragm, address core strength and posture, and restore balance, digestion and energy improve.

4. Fatigue, Poor Balance, and Posture Problems

Your core is at the center of every movement supporting your skeleton and acting as the communication hub for balance, agility, and force transfer. If it’s weak, bigger, less efficient muscle groups work overtime just to maintain basic positions (like standing, sitting, or picking something up), resulting in rapid fatigue and muscle aches.

Poor core strength also contributes directly to slouching, “tech neck,” and postural collapse. Good alignment spreads workloads efficiently, while slouched or tilted posture focuses them in harmful areas—creating a vicious cycle of pain and tiredness.

Building Your Core The Right Way

Start from the deepest muscles—train your TVA, diaphragm, and multifidi for internal control before progressing to external movers like obliques and erectors. Exercises that integrate breathing, maintain alignment, and combine both strength and flexibility give you durable protection and performance. Segmental strength work, myofascial stretching, and consistent attention to hydration and posture are cornerstones for rebuilding a core that lasts.

How To Stretch Properly For Mobility

Stretch for mobility demonstration

Click on the image to watch the video

Are you struggling to get more mobile, finding standard mobility videos either too confusing, too hard, or even painful? Instead of a random list of exercises, lasting mobility comes from understanding why you’re stiff, how mobility decreases, and what rules and reasons should guide your routine.

Mobility is your ability to move freely and comfortably through the full range required by daily life and activities. Aging, lifestyle, and activity specialization decrease mobility—not simply because you’re inactive, but because repetitive patterns lock your body into just a small number of movements. For example, if there are a thousand possible motions but your routine uses just ten over years, the rest become dysfunctional and tight, while the familiar patterns get overused and stiff.

The foundation to improving mobility is hydration. Your soft tissues, especially fascia, rely heavily on water. If dehydrated, fascia acts like tough leather, restricting glide and flexibility. Quality water—at least a quart to half your body weight in ounces daily, preferably spring or properly filtered—is essential. Dehydration increases friction and micro-tearing, often wrongly perceived as “good soreness” from exercise, when it’s actually tissue damage that impedes mobility.

The next step is diagnostic: identify which tissues—muscles, tendons, ligaments, joint capsules—are inhibiting your movement. Pushing through routines with undiagnosed restriction may only reinforce dysfunction. For genuine mobility gains, address the precise muscle or area, considering whether to strengthen or stretch, and being aware that some muscles become stiff from weakness and others from tightness. Know each muscle’s actions and counteractions to decide on the right approach.

Specificity is critical. Every body is unique, and mobility limitations often stem from a weak link in your own kinetic and fascial chain. For example, the popular McKenzie (cobra) press-up—often given for lower back pain—can worsen certain spinal conditions such as facet joint syndrome or move the spine out of the area needing mobility. Always consider which part of your spine or muscle is affected, how it should move, and use targeted approaches to open restricted segments.

For safe, lasting improvement, favor techniques that avoid excessive compression—translation exercises that separate joints without loading, and methods like ELDOA method for segment-specific joint opening.

Fascia Training for Total-Body Strength and Resilience

Fascia training concept for fascia training

Fascia is far more than “just” connective tissue—it’s the continuous, living network that links every part of your body, from muscles and organs to bones, nerves, tendons, and ligaments. When healthy, fascia is hydrated, flexible, and responsive; it supports mobility, strength, injury prevention, and whole-body balance. If neglected or treated incorrectly, it dries, sticks, and restricts movement, leading to pain and dysfunction.

Understanding the essentials of fascia is key to effective training and resilient health. Imagine fascia as a four-dimensional web that wraps around, joins, and stabilizes every internal structure. Its jobs are many: structural support, fluid transport, nerve communication, immune defense, and even healing after injury. If one area of your fascia is restricted, the whole system is thrown off—impacting posture, coordination, and performance.

Most people treat fascia incorrectly by using foam rollers, massage guns, or indiscriminate tools. These methods often compress and bluntly “smush” the tissue, collapsing its intricate tubes and potentially adding trauma to an already compromised system. While some relief may come from briefly numbing trigger points, lasting health demands a smarter approach that acknowledges fascia’s global connections and functions.

Myofascial Stretching

Optimal fascia training starts with hydration. Quality water supports the tissue’s slippery, responsive properties, preventing the “beef jerky” effect that leads to tears, pain, or stiffness. Beyond hydration, fascia thrives on freedom—if bound, it’s unable to transport fluids or information and can’t defend against inflammation or injury.

You also need to “educate” your fascia. Just as muscles get smarter through use, fascia needs stimulation and movement variety to keep its nervous system keen. Bad posture or monotony “dumbs down” the fascia, leading to rigid, awkward, robotic movement. Fluid, coordinated movement only happens when the fascial network is both strong and intelligent, able to communicate efficiently with the rest of your body.

So how should you train fascia?

  • Invest in movement sequences that integrate the whole chain—never isolate one area without considering its links to the hips, shoulders, feet, or head.
  • Seek hands-on therapy or movement education that works with the fascia—not against it—restoring its natural flow, freedom, and intelligence.
  • Practice fascia-focused stretching and strengthening with specific attention to muscle actions/reactions and by using techniques that involve full kinetic chains, not single muscles in isolation.

A common pain point is the IT band along your lateral thigh. True fascia health for that structure comes not by rolling, but by addressing all connections: hip, knee, and even the foot, as well as working with the TFL and gluteal muscles in context.

In summary, treat your fascia as a living, networked system. Hydrate, move with intelligence, and respect the global connections—your strength, pain relief, and mobility will reflect it.

Posture and Your Energy The Science of Feeling Better All Day

Do you feel like you’re always running on empty, no matter how much you rest or fuel up? Science is confirming what movement professionals have known for years: your posture is a major—often hidden driver of energy and alertness in your daily life.

Poor posture isn’t just a cosmetic issue. Studies show that how you hold your body directly impacts muscle tension, cardiovascular function, dopamine signaling, and even brain energy output. Slouching depletes energy by increasing the workload on your muscles and joints, making it harder to breathe deeply and reducing both oxygen intake and blood flow. Over time, this drains vitality and makes you feel sluggish, even if you’ve slept well and eaten right.

There’s more: neuroscience has found that posture is so energetically demanding that better than 90% of your brain’s energy is directed toward maintaining upright function against gravity. When the structure is off—even by a little—your body must constantly compensate, pulling you back toward balance and wasting valuable energy on basic movement and posture correction. Good posture, on the other hand, means your systems run on autopilot, freeing up energy for thinking, healing, movement, and living life to the fullest.

Want more energy all day? Start with these daily strategies:

  • Hydrate well. Fascia and muscles perform best with plenty of water.
  • Check your workstation ergonomics—ensure that screens, chairs, and keyboards promote upright, relaxed alignment.
  • Use blue-blocking glasses to reduce eye strain and keep your energy brain-friendly.
  • Move around more frequently. Take microbreaks to stand, stretch, and shift position.

But above all: train your posture. This doesn’t mean just “standing up straighter.” You need to address the major zones that keep you aligned and within your “gravity line”—that narrow, four-degree cone in which your body can balance efficiently with less energy output. If you consistently fall outside this invisible column, your muscles work overtime to keep you upright—sapping power, mood, and even sleep quality.

The five key areas to address for optimal posture and energy are:

  • Feet: Ensure your feet can pronate and supinate naturally.
  • Pelvis: A balanced pelvis is the foundation for full-body force transmission.
  • Spine: Maintain all four natural curves and adequate space through the whole column.
  • Shoulder Girdle: Keep this bridge level and free, allowing your head and arms to move efficiently.
  • Head: Position it in line with your shoulders for structural harmony.

Global Postural Stretching

By training each of these regions to work together, you decrease the daily effort required for basic movement. This means you not only use less energy just staying upright, but your body is also primed for deeper, more restorative sleep—and you’ll actually generate and conserve more energy for living, playing, and performing at your best.

Do you already train these posture pillars, or are you missing out? Let us know in the comments with a YES or NO! If you have questions, ask below and get expert feedback.

Take Care of Your “Check Engine Lights” Right Away.

Check engine lights body health concept

Just as a dreaded “check engine light” signals urgent car trouble, your body flashes its own warning lights when something needs immediate attention. Many people ignore these signals—stiffness, pain, weakness, poor mobility, or lack of coordination—hoping they’ll disappear on their own. But symptoms are messages, not flaws, and discounting them only lets small problems become big, costly ones.

The truth: your body’s warning lights are there to help. Whether it’s pain or limited mobility, each symptom pinpoints where your physiology or biomechanics need tuning. Over-the-counter meds, ignoring pain, or simply “powering through” may mask issues for a while, but only specific, targeted action resolves the root problem. Think of your car—if the light says “add oil,” doing anything else will eventually lead to breakdown. In the same way, specificity is critical for taking care of your body’s engine lights: you must address the real cause, not just the symptom.

When warning signs come up, seek help from someone qualified to assess and diagnose—not just treat the site of pain, but understand your body as a connected system. Physical therapists, fitness pros, and movement specialists know how joints, fascia, muscles, and nerves interrelate and can create a comprehensive treatment plan. Just as you go to a mechanic for your car, go to an expert for your body.

Segmental Muscle Strengthening

Staying proactive keeps you resilient and independent. Specific corrective exercises, active stretching, and segmental strengthening help restore proper function and prevent future breakdowns. Listen to your body’s lights, act early, and you’ll keep your systems running strong for years to come.

For the new year—and for a fresh start—take advantage of a free ½ hour consultation. Schedule a time at this link and together we’ll figure out exactly what your warning signs are telling you and set a clear path back to health.
