Spinal Care  Tip #6

Rest

(A) Set aside a special time each day for complete mental and physical relaxation. This is important in the restoration as well as maintenance of normal health.

(B) Be sure to get plenty of sleep to allow your body to recuperate and repair.

(C) Sleep on your back or on your side with your legs flexed slightly, not drawn up tightly. Avoid sleeping on your stomach. Raise your head off the pillow when changing positions.

(D) Do not sleep sitting in a chair or in cramped quarters. Lie down in bed when it is time to sleep.
