I never sleep in one position. I'm a tosser and turner. All those pillows would be across the room. :)
🤣🤣 You are a tosser! ....Oh wait, is that just a British joke?
Ikr!!! That's why I never understood why someone would give sleeping posture advice. It's probably the dumbest advice you could give someone 🤣
Tossing to much is also really bad for your shoulder 😂
Yep, I’m a tosser and turner too so those pillow would definitely be on the floor once I wake. Either knocking them off in my sleep or throwing them out. 😆
Hearing you loud and clear, I do a full gym work out in my sleep 🤣🤣
I’m a side sleeper and recently have been experiencing shoulder pain and neck stiffness. I came across this video in my feed, tried it, and last night had the deepest, most restful sleep I’ve had in a long time. Thanks guys, you’re doing a public service.
These 2 men are a blessing to most of us who have pain here and there. God bless them.
You guys have helped my shoulders better than any orthopedic surgeon could. They are quick to advise replacement but with your suggestions for sleep and exercises, I am no longer in constant pain...changing out of a tee shirt is still a challenge but waking up in agony is no longer the norm. Thanks!
Thank you for the tips!I work in a nursing home and I have a resident that is in so much shoulder pain.Cant wait to try this on her .Seing her comfortable in her sleep is my kinda joy as a care giver.
Hope it goes well for her!
@@jill9887 thanks!
@@melyterry1843 did it work?
@@don_packto Yes! It help her a lot!I am so happy to give her some comfort.
God bless you
I've been dealing with a frozen shoulder, plus some tears in the tendons of my right shoulder, for the past year. I'm a side sleeper and I can tell you that the advice in this video was a game changer! Using extra pillows the way Bob and Brad demonstrated has made a significant improvement in my shoulder. Thank you so much!
Pppppppppppppppppp000 9
I was put under anaesthetic for frozen shoulder 2 months ago , I feel your pain . I have better motion and can lift my arm now but dang the ache really disturbs my sleep. Definitely trying their suggestions.
I have carpel tunnel and had surgery to fix it and i still drop things cause my hand lets go. Im trying this ASAP
Frozen shoulder wtf u ever thought of lettin shoulder unthawl
I also have that frozen shoulder thing which was caused by Torticollis. I have gotten used to having the frozen shoulder pains. The unfortunate thing is that the ways Bob and Brad say to use pillows to sleep better without shoulder pain has not helped me at all as I have tried these ways. I've even tried to sleep on 8 thick fluffy pillows with one pillow under each arm and 2 more under my head. Does not help at all.
As an OT I’ve been giving these pillow recommendations for joint protection for some time - and I also added a recommendation from my own experience - a bed rail! I always end up knocking pillows to the side, subtracting or adding through the night as I alternate positions (bc I need pillows for my hips too!!). Now I don’t have to pick them up off the floor in the middle of the night and they’re not a tripping hazard / fall risk either :)
I am having shoulder pain for 2 months now. wake up every morning with numbness in my left hand. Thank you for the tip. Will update my comment after follwoing this routine of resting my arm on the pillow for 7 days
Even if they said that they cant heal a broken heart, their personalities just make me smile all the time. Thank you Bob & Brad
Very informative
Yeah 👍 i was going to mention that even if its not important enough for some ppl the way they are interact it awesome and puts smell on faces
Just sleep standing. Put the pillows on the floor so can fall on them eventually.

This is helpful! I have had three rotator cuff surgeries and my right shoulder probably needs a replacement. I have difficulty sleeping on my back and also use a clap machine. All this means I rarely sleep more than 5 hours at night. I end up dozing in a chair during the day. I have been sleeping on two pillows under my head to lift the pressure on my shoulders as I sleep on my side. I have so much joint pain from both osteo and psoriatic arthritis and have had three spinal surgeries with multiple fusions. I have an implanted spinal stimulator for pain control. I also have significant neuropathy in my legs and arms. I am under the care of a neurological pain clinic. This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and am subscribing. Thanks for this advice.
Brilliant advice. Exactly what I need to deal with my shoulder ache. Thank you ❣️
I wish I could sleep in zero gravity!
Go to space then
I can feel u buddy
ISS
I sleep in zero gravity every night my sleep number bed has a zero gravity mode
Drips Avill that isn’t actual zero gravity, my friend.
Years ago I came up with this very solution for side sleeping, and what a difference it made! I use thicker pillows than the ones they used under both my ribs and my hips. I added a thin pillow below my usual latex head pillow to make up the resulting height difference of my neck and head. I later added a "knee" pillow. This configuration took me from tossing and turning multiple times a night - AND shoulder pain! - to sleeping like the dead. I barely move for hours on end. It's been life changing!
U are supposed to move while asleep mr deadman
@@johnmct9806 🙆😂😂😂
This is so good to know. I have been fussing around with my pillows for awhile now trying to figure out how to sleep and not have shoulder pain for years. This has been the best information I have learned in a long time.
@@johnmct9806 You're supposed to sleep more than anything. If you can't sleep, all the movement in the world won't do you any good.
I can see why I fall in a deep and Great sleep/rest on a lazyboy/recliner!
I tried to create a canal and put an extra pillow like demonstrated at the 3:00 min since I'm a side sleeper and guys did I get a good night sleep! No more back nor shoulder pain! Kind of awkward at first but the results are wow for me! Thank you!
Making a canal for my shoulder has helped my shoulder pain tremendously!! Can’t thank you both enough!!
I'm a side sleeper and this is exactly what has caused my shoulder to go crippled. I bought a shoulder brace to keep me from rolling over to my side of the hurt shoulder. Keeping a body pillow on your back is comfortable
Cripple!!!

I have shoulder pain also from sleepin on my shoulder. But I know one thing I wouldnt sleep on my stomach if went to jail. I might get butt pain 😂
There's kids here Joey

I was a stomach sleeper for years and from time to time I still sleep on my tummy. However since having shoulder pain I started sleeping on my back and got a pregnancy pillow that does a lot of what you guys stated. It makes so much sense because a lot of times I do add pillows on the side to lift my arms up. Thank you so much for what you guys do! It has been a tremendous help with managing back neck and shoulder pain. A lot of times when I bring the concerns up to doctors they just tell me to lose weight. However, it's hard to lose weight when you're always in pain. This is why you guys are so great.
I get antidepressants then brushed off.
Change of diet works better than exercise to loose weight. Keto diet is great for weight loss
@@lyndamedley4789 lose not loose.
It's hard to focus on loosing weight when you're sleep deprived from pain. Being exhausted makes me emotional. I went low carb keto and things are improving but it's taking so long. I hope things are well for you.
@@LauraBeeDannon losing weight only has 1 'o' . You lose weight and clothes feel looser on you.
Your first suggestion I saw about posture helped amazingly instantly. Years of pain gone!
It still hurts at night so I can't wait to try this.
Unfortunately born at a time when babies were sleeping on their sides to prevent SIDS. As I shift from side to side during my sleep I loose my little pillows and the big one ends on the floor. I found getting a pillow the right depth is the key. Took a few mishaps ( expensive ones) but now I am a happy camper! Love your videos. Greetings from Auckland New Zealand 🇳🇿
"This really makes a big difference" Amen to that. I tried your idea of a pillow under my rib cage. Worked incredibly well. Shoulder pain is almost gone. Thank you for your excellent advice. you guys are awesome!!!!
Sleeping on my stomach is the most comfortable, but it killed my lower back. So I switched to side. Now my shoulder hurts haha
My solution is to rotate every 5 minutes like a roast chicken on a rotisserie, only problem my sheets by the morning are all twisted in knots...
You can place a pillow under your belly to release the tention of the lower back
Same. I really miss sleeping on my stomach... I don't feel like I get the same deep sleep now that I sleep on my side.
@@rockabyebaby6111 🤣🤣
Lol same
This is so wholesome somehow 😭 The way you two deliver it is just so soothing and comfy ✨ Thanks for the tips, Bob & Brad!
Love this. You are more helpful that regular physical therapy, with the exception of RedCord teacher. But you two further explaining the positions is invaluable.. thank you from the bottom of my heart
Finally the excess pillows on my bed have some good use
I feel like these two are your typical dads who make dad jokes everytime they see each other at Home Depot. Lol
🤣💯
😂
Pray this prayer to be saved plz, Dear God I know I am a sinner but I believe Jesus died for my sins, I repent of my sins, I accept Jesus as my personal lord and savior in Jesus name AMEN!
And they are going to read this comment and then, when they see each other at Home Depot, ask one another if they saw this comment, and then they will laugh and joke about it.

I'm glad I found this! I only sleep on my sides and I have shoulder pain in both shoulders. My pain is from torn rotator cuffs, both sides, however a year ago I fell and ended up with a second full thickness tear on the right side along with a partial tear of my right deltoid. I have weakness and decreased use of that arm and the joint has become unstable. Over the next few weeks I will be making arrangements for surgery to do a reverse shoulder replacement on the right. In the meantime I will be trying this to hopefully get some more comfortable, consistent sleep.
Hoollllly cow, I have a weird pillow arrangement I've been doing without thinking! Some nights I just haven't been able to figure out how to get into position to be maximum comfortable. You guys just opened my eyes to the revelation that 'max-comfort' for me has been using the pillows to take pressure off my right shoulder. Don't know how I wasn't making the connection. Thank you! Keeping this in mind next time I'm hurting.
I love that you didn’t edit out those tongue twisters! It’s nice to see a channel like this that doesn’t take itself too seriously!
I just finished physical therapy for my neck bones running into my jaw bone. I was having serious problems with TMJ and the twist also messed up my right shoulder. While my jaw pain was significantly reduced I still had shoulder pain and aches when I woke up. No matter how much I tried to stack up my pillows to support my head, the pain didn't go away. Yesterday when I was having insomnia around 2 am, I watched this video on a whim. So last night I thought I had nothing else to lose to I used my extra firm pillow to support my torso and create that shoulder pocket. While I still tossed and turned, this is the first morning in a long time that I didn't have shoulder pain. My back didn't hurt either. It's almost like I woke up in a better posture. I think I need to optimize this. This was long winded, but I want to say thank you. I may be able to function again.
What physical therapy exercises did they have you do for your neck and jaw tmj problems? I have similar issues.
how you treat tmj
I’m proud to see the two of you become the most famous PT on the internet. I’ve been watching your channel for many years now
Im in my 20’s and after a few shoulder injuries ive had to find ways to find some sort of comfort to sleep and its amazing to see that ive already done everything you guys suggested and they all feel the most comfortable so i can totally support the effectiveness of it. The only one i havent tried is the pillow canal will definitely try that one thanks for tips!
How did it work out for you?
I still experience some minor discomfort here and there with my right shoulder. But my left is the one that gives me a hard time. I really cant sleep on my left shoulder even using the canal trick they mentioned or i will have discomfort or pain. My best option really is to avoid laying on my side all together but it takes a while to fall asleep like that for me. So sometimes using a pillow or small blanket i can then prop one of my arms up to relieve any discomfort in my shoulders when laying on my back and that seems to be fine.
Yea my first injury to my left shoulder was impingment from squatting, which i then slightly re injured probably a year later trying to ignore the pain doing barbell shoulder press. The right one im still unsure about. The 2 days prior i had played a ton of basketball and the third morning a woke up and my right shoulder was in a lot of pain. For both injuries it caused me to have to stop excercising basically all together for probably 4 months each, since i couldnt do any pushing movements and even hang for pullups was unbearable. Wish i wouldve listened to my body snd stopped the shoulder press because my left shoulder wouldve been better off now unfortunately its recovered maybe 80-85% and thats it. Should probably talk to a PT and see if theres some stuff i can do to work on it. But in any case i agree lifting weights especially improperly sometimes can be a big downfall and definitely agree with listening to your body
I have my best luck with my pillow from the TV ads, that is the most comfortable pillow
@@TheSmartLawyer - what kind of my pillow did you get?
As someone who sleeps on their side, I end up waking up with a virtually crippled shoulder for seemingly no reason and my shoulder ends up hurting for at least a week when it happens. I never knew why or what to do about it until now. Very nice.
stopped sleeping on my side for this reason
Torn Rotator cuff
U can rehab it in about 3-4 days if u take a little iubeprofhen (idk how to spell it im too high)and lift a one pound weight
I woke up with impingement on the left side and it didn't go away in 5 weeks. Im only 30.
I saw this video last night and did exactly just that. Today Dec/9/21 my shoulder is doing way much better BUT not being able to walk without support and with a tremendous discomfort and pain in my lumbar L5 vertebra because ten years ago I suffered from osteomyelitis in that vertebra. Taking my day off from work. Thanks any way.
Thanks for the information. Yes, I find a pillow under the shoulder helps. I'll have to try the 2nd pillow under rib cage. I love how light and comical you are and obviously get on so well. Thanks for the tips.
I'm a side sleeper and had a triple fracture in my right clavicle many years ago. Only recently, I've been waking up with shoulder pain, even when I sleeping my left side. I'm getting some more pillows and trying these techniques. Very useful video!👍
Something that helped me a lot was one of those weird curved cervical pillows. The high end snuggles my neck, leaving that "well" between the head and shoulder. Can't sleep without it.
Hi
When I saw you guys first I was like "well this is gonna be boring as dirt", but no! You guys are really entertaining and it's obvious you're good buddies who like to be silly. Nice to watch :)
A dork being entertained by two dorks.
silly buddies
I've had shoulder pain for years and I'm a side sleeper. I had to change how I sleep to stop putting pressure on my shoulders. I use 2 pillows under my head and push my shoulder out a little so no pressure is on it and cross my arm. It has helped a lot.
i have bad shoulders due to injuries i did in 2009 which are inoperable i take 8 painkillers per day I've learnt over the years to use pillows in the way youve shown in the video this is the only way i can get some sleep these methods do work. good information thanks.
I customized the advice a little and used smaller but firmer cushion, pillow was too "huggy" . Excellent results, it worked for me from the first night. Added bonus (besides the pain being gone), I sleep the whole night and wake up on the same side. Thank you!!!
You guys helped me tremendously with the Pain I'm experiencing, with (both) Shoulder Impingement's. Your exercises alleviated about 20% of the Pain - in just 3 days. Thanks so much. Now I need to Purchase your Massage Gun.
Such a simple idea but I've never thought of trying this until now!
Big thanks to Bob & Brad from Manchester UK. 👍🏼
Thanks a million. I use all three positions. Had been making the mistakes before. Cured.
I recently started getting shoulder pain during sleep. I would catch myself doing all of the things you guys say not to do 😬 definitely going to experiment with all of these. Thanks for the video!

Thank you guys so much. After making these adjustments I am waking up with less and less pain. I am also able to once again lift weights without shoulder pain. Thanks again.
I tried this last night and woke up with zero shoulder pain. Thank you so much for this video!!
The first one has helped me immensely. Always get sore shoulders being squished on my side! This is so much more comfortable having a pillow to create that room
i was grinning so wide while watching this because i've been unconsciously doing these things in the past year! i started waking up with pain in my shoulders so i thought, hey i should do something about that. and then i developed/discovered these positions and made my sleep a whole lot better. thank you guys!! this was such a fun and educational video, i hope others get rid of the shoulder pains with the help of this vid ❤️

@@nilyfoxx9645 I'm sure she really enjoyed that creepy and cringe inducing post of yours. Also, CZcams is not a dating site. You might want to try one of those instead.
Thank you! I have been struggling with a sore neck, shoulder and arm for two weeks! Poor sleeping habits are largely the cause. Hope this is a game changer! 😊🤞
Excellent video thanks guys
A min of silence for those who are going through this pain rn ;-;
That's me it fucking hurts 😬

:(((
Waaaw I tried it sleeping with a pillow on my side, and almost after 15 years I got a night of sleep without pain. Thank you guys so much. Thank you thank you. Blessings
train youre gluteus medius and minimus.
@@kwaad777 is that butt muscles? That will help shoulder pain?
@@estebanremici8300 those are butt muscles. but that's for hip pain/lower back pain. Shoulder pain, try massaging the back and spine with a tennis ball against the wall look for tender spots. Also weak muscles(posterior deltoids and lower/mid trapezium muscles)
Posture is the key so you Wana be doing alot of mobility training and balancing the muscles in your body so you have good posture. Do this'll and the pain will go away it might take 2 weeks it might take a year but it will work eventually.
I HAVE a physical therapist and no one has mentioned this stuff. Super helpful!!
I suddenly started doing this a few months ago unknowingly and I can confirm this 2 pillow style works awesome
Going to try the canal idea tonight. Thanks
It does work , and it helped. Too bad there wasn't a custom canal pillow..lol. or a tunnel pillow.
Thank you Brad and Bob that makes a lot of sense. I have been struggling to sleep with shoulder pain and had actually tried experimenting with extra pillows sleeping on my side and on my back. Sleeping on my back with a pillow under the sore shoulder and arm is reasonable but that leads to discomfort in the lower back unless you also put a pillow under the knees or just above. Likewise sleeping on my front use a pillow lengthways under the torso but not good for the shoulder.
Blessings to you both you are so professional and give sound advice. I used the pillow technique last night. Because I currently have a shoulder infringement. It is the first time I have slept in three days. Thabk you 🙏
Thank you so much....I have a rotator cuff injury n was wondering how to sleep comfortably n then u guys came like an angel...thanks...m gonna try sleeping like tho
When I was young, I could just collapse on the bed, muscles relaxed, & fall asleep in any position, straight or contorted. . those days are gone....gone. ..now have to invest in enough pillows to sleep comfortably....thank you for the advice!
I LOVE you guys! I've been doing the exercises you showed for swelling feet and ankles since February of this year. Almost a year later, here I am with no more swelling and no longer needing the diuretic I was prescribed! Thank you!
Great comment . They must know what they're talking about .

@@nilyfoxx9645 My God, what is wrong with you? Do you seriously just go around copy and pasting this to every female you come across in the comments? WTF!
The trough method fixed my shoulder in one night. Guys, thank you very much for your advice!
The best of your advices is that you really enjoy your job and with this great sense of humor I trust more in you guys
This popped up automatically on my CZcams and being that I'm still in physical therapy for a shoulder operation I'm glad I watched this as I was doing what yall were saying w the pillows AS I WAS WATCHING😀. I will be checking out more. It helps that you two have excellent chemistry together🫶
I'm going to give this a try tonight. I have problems in both shoulders and suffer from carpal tunnel symptoms, often waking up with numb hands. Love the fact that you are not trying to sell us something and your explanations always make such sense thank you.
Hi, did their recommendations help? I have similar problems :(
This was so helpful! Looks like I’ve been doing everything they said not to do and having all the problems they knew I would. This looks like great advice. Ive actually tried some of this before and they’re right, u can instantly feel the difference
Thanks so much. Very useful info. My shoulder is sore and I've been sleeping on that side!! Will take note of all the advice . You Guys are brilliant.
I thank you guys for such a great educational channel! I’ve been watching your channel since my son recommended you for my knees and now my shoulder. Thank you! Rachelle
Oh THANK YOU GUYS!! I’ve been dealing with impingement in my right shoulder for weeks. I’ve actually figured out some of your methods on my own out of sheer desperation. I love that tunnel method. It works wonderfully for me.
Shoulder is killing me for a 2nd month in a row. Sleep definitely agitates it. Thanks for the information! I'm very much looking forward to trying method 3
WHY DIDN’T I SEE THIS VIDEO SINCE I WAS BORN😭 i needed this, gosh. Thank you
I am most certainly need to try this thanks for sharing🥰
I went for my annual physical today and my Dr recommended your videos for osteoarthritis. I went and got an injection in my left knee a month ago and it relieved the pain. I also was given an rx for meloxicam. My GP said you have great videos on what not to do to my knee that will help.
Nice to meet you. I watched this one first.
THANK YOU . You are always coming out with more info i can use . I have kept almost all your videos to refer to and some have helped with things that nothing else i tried helped. You seem to have much appropriate info missing other places. Your humor is so refreshing also. I just went through some intense shoulder pain and it's better now but still there is a little pain and when sleep i need to change positions; so this added to what i knew and is so timely again. When it started up and i did some things you suggested in other videos. With that , I had fifty percent or more of the pain go away within days and increased range of movement too...which never had that results within just days, before. When happened before it was months for any results.
I agree! This video helped me tremendously. One problem that I can't help is my night gas and night sharts. It prevents me from having a clean and good smelling bed. I wish they'd make a video on getting rid of that.
These guys are the best on the internet......always enjoyable to watch and learn......thank you
I’ve tried these, works great. Thanks guys.
Holy crap! Y’all just mimicked every thing I go through trying to find a comfortable position to sleep due to my shoulder pain!
I definitely need this video! As always, thank you for the awesome tips!
Thanks very much for sharing this, I have pain on left shoulder joints and I am going to try your ideas.
Have to wait for drs appt that’s in a week. I did go to ER because I was in agony with comfort o my if I put my arm over my head.. they think pinched nerve and a knot top of shoulder.. shooting pain down my arm. I’ve been trying to sleep on my back even with pillow support and it still hurts so badly so I’m not sleeping well or I roll onto sore shoulder and wake up in agony too. End up throwing my arm over my head gritting my teeth from the pain..in most positions.
Just experimented with the side canal and I’m hopeful. Just wanted to thank you guys for what you do and always making me smile.
I figured out the "trough" system for my right shoulder and (if I can fall asleep at all), I can sleep comfortably for 2.5-4 hours in that position. Definitely works!
You guys are a hoot and a lotta help. Thank you sincerely! I'd been told pillows are the solution but could not 1) visualize the solution, 2) understand what I was doing incorrectly and how it impacts my shoulders to then understand the meaning behind the solutions, 3) ask folks for pictures/videos of them using pillows correctly 😂😅
Thanks again! I'm going pillow shopping.
I used to have shoulder and lower back pain and I alleviated it by getting a Talalay Latex mattress and a “soft” 2-inch Talalay Latex topper to go on top. It’s extremely pressure-relieving and cushions every part of your body but you don’t “sink” into it like with Memory Foam mattresses. No more pain at all.👍👍They’re very expensive but so what. They last for about 15-20 years.
I watched your episode and tried the two pillow method with great success! I look forward to more restful nights and will try the 3 pillow method tonight! Thank you
Thank you so much for this video! I see a new way I can sleep now without hurting. I recently had a total reverse shoulder replacement and have found it troublesome being a side sleeper. That tunnel looks like it will work for me. Thanks
Thank you Bob and Brad! I have had shoulder pain for 3 years. I saw your video and tried to put a pillow under my ribs. My shoulder pain has gone in several months.
I wish all the best to you and your family!
Bye.
Believe me I have this shoulder pain right now and I'm a side sleeper. Going to do this right away!
thank you! that “pillow canal” tip made me feel instant comfort.
I have always appreciated your humor, your down to earth style and your practical solutions for our health, thank you guys! Keep the hits rolling 💪🙌🙌
After having terrible lower back pain, I built myself the “pillow canal” without even knowing! And even laying half on my left side and half on my back.
Hi Liz Neptune I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹
Love this. Think the way I sleep partly caused my shoulder issue. Doctors have brushed off my issues, but it is keeping me from working, so for me it is major. I do sleep on my sore shoulder side. Just was not sure how to manage. Will for sure try this.
Thank you dr. Ron& Ford , this was my problem. My dr. Told me same thing . Getting better now
Who would have thought that trying to get a good night's sleep is a full time job.
1/3 of your life......
I do, every night!
@@lilitincher4973 Do you get paid overtime? 😅👍
Lol
Well we were never designed to sleep on our sides with no beds being available in the wild
Just got this in my feed
1-I've slept with a collie sized stuffed cow since I was 4 years old (I'm now 51 lol) She was hand knit by my aunt for me, at first obviously she was my favorite stuffy. In the ensuing decades she's been squished in all the right places and supports my back and shoulders now. I'm a side sleeper with a CPAP, I'm morbidly obese due to lymphedema and lipedema so that extra support helps so much.
2- how would a large chested woman stuff a pillow like you did under her arm? That would be a lot of maneuvering!
@Plutarch can you link?
@Plutarch Thank you! :)
I'm a side sleeper and have to rotate all night due to shoulder pain. I'm going try the canal tonight. I already sleep with 3 pillows. So glad I came across your video, subscribed to your channel too 💙
Thanks for this,I have horrible shoulder pain. Going to start this tonight.👍🏻
This feels like a morning talk show type of deal, really cool
Thank you so much for showing me how to sleep! My shoulder was so sore and I tired everything. Making the canal really helped! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much as long time I am facing the same problem .
The contoured memory pillow gave me the best relief on my shoulder and neck pain
Finally, a reason to have 20 pillows on our bed!
Thanks for posting this useful information.
