Wow, great information. I have been suffering from my neck pain a lot lately. I can't even read looking down so long. I can't even do the dishes so long. I was told my physical therapist once that I needed neck strengthening exercises. I actually tried to sleep without a pillow last night. It actually felt better. Thanks. I have punched the "like" button and started to subscribe your channel from today.

Thank you! I’ve been unable to move my neck for 4+ months and simply sleeping on my back and stomach are helping greatly. Especially feel the stretch in my neck when sleeping on my stomach. Surprisingly I wake up with just a little more mobility. Now if I start doing all the neck stretches on the regular maybe it will go away…🤞🙏
I'm so glad I found this video. I mostly slept without a pillow since childhood, but the problem is that I'm a side sleeper. I have chronic migraine, tension headaches, and bad pasture that I'm working on correcting. I'm focusing on sleeping on my back now and really thought I should invest in a good pillow. I'm glad to know now that I don't. It's ok that the neck has no support while sleeping on your back? I thought that would build tension... I'm also glad to see that sleeping on the stomach is OK, because I love to sleep on my stomach. I'm going to watch more of your videos to see what other tips you have 👌🏽
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🙏😊 It's great that you take responsibility for your health by changing your sleeping position. 💪 If you sleep on your back and stomach, it's absolutely fine that your neck is not supported by a pillow. It's even better for your neck as this is the position in which your cervical spine is able to straighten the rest of the spine and release any built up tension. Please get more detailed explanations as well as further pain management tips and instructions for a pain-free and healthy sleep in the following guide. 👉🙂 lie-br.com/yt-cm3-backpainsleep In addition, you could try our exercises for neck pain that can also relieve and prevent tension headaches and migraine attacks. 👉🙂 lie-br.com/yt-cm3-cenecktension Make sure that you practise daily for about 2 to 2.5 mins for real results and please let us know how you got on! 😊 Best wishes, Hannah from Liebscher & Bracht
When people work at their desks, their mid back hunches, their neck flexes forward as a result, and they compensate with chin lift to get their eyes back up. This means they hinge at the c1-c2 vertebrae, not the whole neck. Thats why there is overwhelming kyphosis (hunched neck) with desk workers. Its not an "extended" neck problem.
Hi there, thanks for sharing your opinion. 🙏 We definitely agree with you that working at a desk in this described one-sided position can lead to kyphosis. But in our opinion it is caused by too much tension in your muscles and fasciae that builds up due to our sedentary routines and poor posture, which can be found throughout the neck (and extend it), not only around the c1-c2 vertebrae. 🙂 Please learn more about this cause, the symptoms, and best treatment options of a hunchback / kyphosis in this article. 👉🙂 lie-br.com/yt-cm3-ephunch Give it a read and if there is anything unclear, or if you have other questions, just contact us again!

Why then does literally every single physio on this website alone recommend the McKenzie roll support pillow be put inside a pillow case to support the neck when sleeping, especially when you are having neck pain issues?? Are they all wrong?? This is the ONLY video I have seen that says a neck roll is not recommended. I will keep using one thanks. Better some support than ZERO support.
I sleep on my back on a Japanese floor futon. I don't like pillows. Was recently sleeping with a buckwheat neck roll. The first night felt good like it was stretching my neck back into position. But now it is making my neck stiff. I don't like pillows, but I don't like that without a pillow it seems my chin curves down too much instead of my head staying straight overnight.
Hi there 🙂 Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! 🙏 We think it's great that you prefer sleeping without a pillow, because this supports the spine to remain straight and release muscular-fascial tension in your back and neck. Don't worry about your chin curving down, since when you move your chin towards your chest, this is perfect for compensating your muscular-fascial tension and shortening in the front of your body. 💪🙂 You'll get a more detailed explanation of this in the following video. 😊👉 czcams.com/video/wAzS_GI_WYM/video.html Also, read more details and tips for a perfect sleep at the bottom of the following article. 😊👉 lie-br.com/yt-cm3-backpainsleep Best wishes, Hannah from Liebscher & Bracht
Hello! your videos are super clear, fun to watch and soothing too. Subscribed and liked. I'm a product designer designing a cervical traction pillow for a client and i'm a bit doubtful on it's purpose now : sleeping without a pillow brings the neck in towards the shoulder, but cervical traction pillows make your head go even farther from the shoulders ahead. So why do these cervical traction pillows even exist? If all they do is push your head away from the shoulders ? Your help would be much appreciated, and once again, thank you so much!
Thank you for taking the time to share your kind words and thoughts with us, Bran! 🙌😊 Unfortunately, we aren't much help, since in our opinion, the best pillow is no pillow at all! 🙏 It doesn't matter if you sleep on your back or on your stomach, just don't use any pillow at all underneath your head for optimum pain relief after sleeping. If you lie down without any pillow, your spine can remain straight and release any built-up tension in your neck and back muscles. 💪🙂 For more details and tips for a pain-free sleep, please give this article a read. 😊👉 lie-br.com/yt-cm3-backpainsleep And by the way, we also don't understand why these cervical traction pillows even exist. 😉 Best wishes, Hannah from Liebscher & Bracht

You've been using a neck roller wrong lol. You should never sleep with a neck roller, people are using a neck roller just for stretching in 5-10 minutes and that's all.
Hi, and thank you for your information and education. A couple questions, please: - What is that you’re using in your video for side-sleeping, and where/how do I get it? - If I am both a back and side sleeper, and am not aware of the transitions from back to side in my sleep, how do I operate with that, since I feel more need for more support for my neck while on my side, (and as you demonstrated in your video)? I’m not sure if I will be able to both grab and remove the rolled up item while sleeping. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help ~
Thanks for your kind comment and your questions! 🙏🙂 The tool that we use in our video is our mini foam roller that is available to buy in our online shop. 👉🙂 lie-br.com/yt-cm3-foamroll Regarding your other question: If you move a lot during your sleep and turn from your back to your side, don't worry about it. If you wake up at night, just straighten your back again, stretch your legs, and go back to sleep. The longer you sleep in this position, the better! But of course, we're aware of the fact that it's not possible to sleep all night long on your back. Please get more detailed written instructions as well as further tips for a pain-free and healthy sleep in our sleeping guide. 👉🙂 lie-br.com/yt-cm3-backpainsleep If you have any other questions, or need further guidance and advice, just contact us again! 🤗 All the best, Hannah from Liebscher & Bracht
Stretching the cervical spine to a straight line, eliminating the natural curvature of cervical spine, is unphysiological and puts immense pressure on discs, nerves, ligaments and muscles. It can cause the muscles go into painful spasm.
Hi there, thanks for your comment! Unfortunately, we have to disagree with you! We've found that sleeping on your back without a pillow is the only position that allows your cervical spine to straighten the rest of the spine in order to release any built up tension, relax your muscles and fasciae, and relieve your pain. 💪🙂 Please get more detailed information as well as further pain management tips in our sleeping guide. 👉 lie-br.com/yt-cm3-backpainsleep Best wishes, Hannah from Liebscher & Bracht
Thank you for the video! I've watched many videos about sleeping, and this is the first one that says not to use a cervical pillow. I'm going to try it for the next couple of days, but I'm worried that lying on my back with no pillow under the neck will bend my chin forward and block my airway which will result in sleep apnea or snoring. When I use a cervical neck pillow my neck is straight in the front and so I don't have trouble with snoring or breathing. What are your thoughts/suggestions? Thank you!
You're most welcome, Mark! 🙏 It's great that you're going to try this sleeping position for a pain-free sleep. 💪😴 Regarding your concern about sleep apnea or snoring: We suggest you to tilt your chin down towards your chest. This could help you to prevent snoring. 😊 At the beginning you could also put a little pillow under your upper head, but just at the top, not in your neck. This will help your body to get used to this new sleeping position. Try to reduce the height of the pillow step by step, until you're able to sleep without any pillow at all. 🤗 Just give it a try and let us know how you got on, we'd love to hear from you again! 🙌😍 Best wishes, Hannah from Liebscher & Bracht
@@Liebscher.Bracht_EN hi Hannah, thank you for the response. Tucking my chin into my chest makes it MORE difficult to breathe and increases snoring because that position blocks the airway.
Hi Mark, sorry I got that wrong! Sure, bending your chin forward would make it more difficult. But don't worry about sleeping without a pillow, your body can still breathe properly. We've found that you'll rather have the problem that your head tilts backwards on the mattress. In this case, just remember our suggestion of a little pillow underneath your upper head. 🙂 Just give it a try and you'll see how it works for you! We're excited to hear your feedback! 😍🙌 All the best, Hannah from Liebscher & Bracht
Thank you for sharing these tips. I'll have to try them. I know my neck posture isn't great (i've already had to pull my head back just while writing this comment!) and it really takes some self awareness to remember to keep my head up and neck back while sitting.
Hi Jennifer! 😊 thanks for your nice words - we are very glad to hear that you wanna try our tips which is the first step into a pain-free life 🙌😊 If you want to share your experiences with us, we'd love to hear from you! 😍 And if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

I wouldnt fully agree with with sleeping on the stomatch. But sleeping on the side - Is really gotta be the most safe and best position to sleep (with pillow). It just sucks that i cant sleep the whole night on my sides. I have to roll on my back atleast once or else i wont be able to fall asleep! Laying on your stomatch with your head on the sides for short time could be a good daily excersise to stretch your neck muscle.
Hi there, thanks for sharing your opinion and experience. 🙏🙂 We've found that sleeping on your back is the best sleeping position if you suffer from neck, hip, shoulder, or back pain. If you sleep on your back without a pillow, this can support the spine to remain straight and release any tension in your muscles and fasciae. So especially for people suffering neck and back pain, sleeping in this position can help them to wake up with no or less pain. 🙂🙏 Please get more detailed information and tips for a pain-free and healthy sleep in this sleeping guide. 😊👉 lie-br.com/yt-cm3-backpainsleep Best wishes Hannah from Liebscher & Bracht

You're welcome, Conrad! 🙏 We're sorry to hear you have to give up both your favourite pillows at day and at night. 😞 It might be unusual and uncomfortable at first, but we're sure that you're going to love it, as soon as your body adapted to this new sleeping position and you realize how relaxing and relieving this will be for your neck and back. 🤗 Try to sleep without any pillow and let us know how you get on and how you feel!

I have straight neck. Chiro recommended rolled up towel for neck traction. Should I continue. I suffer from pain at the base of skull which triggers tightness in my eye and temporal region and top of my head.
Hi there 🙂 Thank you for your comment and question! We still recommend to continue sleeping on your back without a pillow. 💪 This sleeping position can help ease your pain naturally and sustainably so you'll be able to wake up in the morning with no or less pain. 🤗 Moreover, you could try our exericses against headaches that will relax any built-up tension in your muscles and fasciae causing your pain. 👉🙂 lie-br.com/yt-cm3-ceheadache Give them a try and let us know how they helped you! 🙌😍 Best wishes, Hannah from Liebscher & Bracht
Good information. I have light cracking sounds in my neck when I turn right or left. Would it be good to also sleep on my back. Or should I get contour pilow?
Thank you 🙂 If you have light cracking sounds in your neck, we still recommend you to sleep on your back without a pillow. 🙏 Generally, it's not bad if your joints crack as this only means that your joint is bouncing back to its original position (which has shifted due to too much tension in your neck muscles). 💪 As long as it's not painful, you don't have to worry about it. 🙂 However, you can still do some simple exercises for your neck ( that you can find here. 👉 lie-br.com/yt-cm3-neckpain ) and adapt your sleeping position which can release any built up tension, relax your neck, reduce these cracking sounds, and even prevent pain! 💪 Make sure that you practise regularly for at least 2 minutes for best results and please get back to us! We'd love to hear how you get on and how you feel! Best wishes, Hannah from Liebscher & Bracht

Boy....me too. Straight neck, arthritis, disc deg. I have been through so very many pillows and still can’t find the one that works for me. So depressing & of course, painful.
Hi there, we're sorry to hear that you're suffering so badly. 😞 We absolutely understand how painful, exhausting, and depressing this is, especially if you've already tried so many things and nothing has really helped so far. Have you also considered to sleep on your back without any pillow as demonstrated in the video above? 😊👆 Moreover, we recommend to sleep on a mattress that is as hard as possible, because in this sleeping position your spine is stretched properly and supported to remain straight, so muscular-fascial tension in your back and neck can be released during night. Please read more about it in detail and further tips for a pain-free sleep in the following article. 😊👉 lie-br.com/yt-cm3-backpainsleep We'd love to hear your opinion and thoughts about it. 😊🙌 Best wishes, Hannah from Liebscher & Bracht
Thank you for the video. I’ve had neck pain (and back pain) almost all my life. So naturally, I tried many things. Now I seem to have straight (flat?) neck too. So the idea is to not protect or possibly strain the neck, but to instead, be natural and let the body heal? I’m also now wondering about beds. Since the whole body is connected, shouldn’t this be mentioned too?
Hi, Kyna! Thank you for your comment! 🙏 We're sorry to hear that you've been dealing with back pain and neck pain almost your whole life. 😌 We know that this can be such a burden in daily life that seriously affects your quality of life.

@@Liebscher.Bracht_EN Thank you! Although I’ve had neck and back pain almost all my life, I was lucky in that I was still able to enjoy sports and have a normal life...for the most part 😌. The pain was always worse when I was under stress. I will check out the links you gave me. Thank you! Honestly, it sometimes gets discouraging, but if there was anytime to make big changes, it is now 😊. I was afraid you would say that about the bed. Let me start first with the pillow 🙃.
Thank you for your kind response! 🙏😊 We're so happy that you were still able to enjoy and live a 'normal' life for most of the time, despite your pain. 🙌 There are indirect factors including your diet and mental causes, such as stress and anxiety, that will worsen your existing pain.

I find if I sleep on my back without a pillow I snore, the snoring actually prevents me from falling asleep. But if I put a roll under my neck, even a small one, this doesn't happen. Do you have any suggestions for this? In case this helps, I am a male , in my 20's, 185cm and 80kg.
Hi there, if you need a pillow underneath your head to avoid snoring, try to put it only under the upper part of your head. 🙂 This video will demonstrate it. 😊👉 czcams.com/video/8GG05gtDv2s/video.html Although it's in German, you can still watch how to do it. 😉 In this position, the muscular-fascial tension and shortening of your head and neck will be stretched and normalized! 💪 Alternatively, you can also sleep on your stomach as we explained in this video. 👆😊 Best wishes, Hannah from Liebscher & Bracht

@@Liebscher.Bracht_EN I've already been following it, for almost a week now, and my neck really started to feel some promising improvement.. I was just wondering how the spine curves are dealing with the very straight sleeping on the back; it theoretically doesn't seem to offer the spine the perfect support or contour surface. However, from my personal experience after quitting pillows for almost a week, my neck, as I said, is really starting to improve.. in terms of pain and mobility.. also sounds from moving my neck seem to get quieter.. Thank you very much !
You're most welcome! 🙏 Great to hear that you've already started it and feel some improvement! 😍 Well done, keep up the good work! 💪 We totally understand that this makes you wonder, because this sleeping position seems to be unnatural at first glance.

Yes, we definitely recommend you to keep trying without any pillow. 🙂🙏 And don't worry if this is uncomfortable at first. Since changing your sleeping position is a major adjustment, this can take some time, until your body gets used to it.

HI Cliff, thank you for sharing your experience with us. 🙏 If your pain worsens after the first few nights of changing your sleeping position, it explains that your body is in a phase of transition and has to get used to the new posture. So don't worry about it, and give your body time to adjust. It's important now not to give up, but to continue to sleep like this.

Hi, thanks for the video. I like to sleep on my back without a pillow. I slept for many years on my back with a 'roll pillow' also but like you mentioned it felt like my neck was pushed forward too much and not so relaxing as without a pillow. The only downside I noticed is when i sleep without a pillow my face is more swollen in the mornings. And this takes a while. Do you noticed this too??
Thanks for your comment and for sharing your experience with us! 🤗 It's great that you sleep on your back without a pillow for a pain-free and healthy sleep. 🙏🙂 Unfortunately, we haven't noticed a swollen face as a consequence yet, so we can't tell you anything about it. Have you ever seen a doctor and got yourself checked out? Best wishes, Hannah from Liebscher & Bracht
@@Liebscher.Bracht_EN Thank you for the reply. Yes nothing 'wrong' with me. Just a sensitivity in a little bit more swollen face at times.. and laying the whole night without a pillow makes sense that the fluids go a little more to the head. Do you also sleep without a pillow? :)

Thank you! I’ve been unable to move my neck for 4+ months and simply sleeping on my back and stomach are helping greatly. Especially feel the stretch in my neck when sleeping on my stomach. Surprisingly I wake up with just a little more mobility. Now if I start doing all the neck stretches on the regular maybe it will go away…🤞🙏
I'm so glad I found this video. I mostly slept without a pillow since childhood, but the problem is that I'm a side sleeper. I have chronic migraine, tension headaches, and bad pasture that I'm working on correcting. I'm focusing on sleeping on my back now and really thought I should invest in a good pillow. I'm glad to know now that I don't.
It's ok that the neck has no support while sleeping on your back? I thought that would build tension... I'm also glad to see that sleeping on the stomach is OK, because I love to sleep on my stomach.
I'm going to watch more of your videos to see what other tips you have 👌🏽
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🙏😊 It's great that you take responsibility for your health by changing your sleeping position. 💪 If you sleep on your back and stomach, it's absolutely fine that your neck is not supported by a pillow. It's even better for your neck as this is the position in which your cervical spine is able to straighten the rest of the spine and release any built up tension. Please get more detailed explanations as well as further pain management tips and instructions for a pain-free and healthy sleep in the following guide. 👉🙂 lie-br.com/yt-cm3-backpainsleep

When people work at their desks, their mid back hunches, their neck flexes forward as a result, and they compensate with chin lift to get their eyes back up. This means they hinge at the c1-c2 vertebrae, not the whole neck. Thats why there is overwhelming kyphosis (hunched neck) with desk workers. Its not an "extended" neck problem.
Hi there,
thanks for sharing your opinion. 🙏 We definitely agree with you that working at a desk in this described one-sided position can lead to kyphosis. But in our opinion it is caused by too much tension in your muscles and fasciae that builds up due to our sedentary routines and poor posture, which can be found throughout the neck (and extend it), not only around the c1-c2 vertebrae. 🙂 Please learn more about this cause, the symptoms, and best treatment options of a hunchback / kyphosis in this article. 👉🙂 lie-br.com/yt-cm3-ephunch Give it a read and if there is anything unclear, or if you have other questions, just contact us again!

Why then does literally every single physio on this website alone recommend the McKenzie roll support pillow be put inside a pillow case to support the neck when sleeping, especially when you are having neck pain issues?? Are they all wrong?? This is the ONLY video I have seen that says a neck roll is not recommended. I will keep using one thanks. Better some support than ZERO support.
THANK YOU!! i dont know where this video came from
Why does it sound fake?
I sleep on my back on a Japanese floor futon. I don't like pillows. Was recently sleeping with a buckwheat neck roll. The first night felt good like it was stretching my neck back into position. But now it is making my neck stiff. I don't like pillows, but I don't like that without a pillow it seems my chin curves down too much instead of my head staying straight overnight.
Hi there 🙂
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! 🙏 We think it's great that you prefer sleeping without a pillow, because this supports the spine to remain straight and release muscular-fascial tension in your back and neck. Don't worry about your chin curving down, since when you move your chin towards your chest, this is perfect for compensating your muscular-fascial tension and shortening in the front of your body. 💪🙂 You'll get a more detailed explanation of this in the following video. 😊👉 czcams.com/video/wAzS_GI_WYM/video.html

Hello! your videos are super clear, fun to watch and soothing too. Subscribed and liked. I'm a product designer designing a cervical traction pillow for a client and i'm a bit doubtful on it's purpose now : sleeping without a pillow brings the neck in towards the shoulder, but cervical traction pillows make your head go even farther from the shoulders ahead. So why do these cervical traction pillows even exist? If all they do is push your head away from the shoulders ? Your help would be much appreciated, and once again, thank you so much!
Thank you for taking the time to share your kind words and thoughts with us, Bran! 🙌😊
Unfortunately, we aren't much help, since in our opinion, the best pillow is no pillow at all! 🙏 It doesn't matter if you sleep on your back or on your stomach, just don't use any pillow at all underneath your head for optimum pain relief after sleeping. If you lie down without any pillow, your spine can remain straight and release any built-up tension in your neck and back muscles. 💪🙂 For more details and tips for a pain-free sleep, please give this article a read. 😊👉 lie-br.com/yt-cm3-backpainsleep
And by the way, we also don't understand why these cervical traction pillows even exist. 😉

You've been using a neck roller wrong lol. You should never sleep with a neck roller, people are using a neck roller just for stretching in 5-10 minutes and that's all.
Doctor said to use neck roll in sleep
thank you
Is Sleeping without pillow rwcommended for straight/military neck?
Neck rolls always help me 😭 I can’t figure out the best pillow height
keep using it
I constantly wake up with a stiff neck and thank you have tried a few of your exercises that have helped1
I’m going to try this starting tonight. I have really bad stiffness and pain when I wake up and I’ve used so many “neck support” pillows.
How’d it go? Gonna give it a go tonight

Hi, and thank you for your information and education. A couple questions, please:
- What is that you’re using in your video for side-sleeping, and where/how do I get it?
- If I am both a back and side sleeper, and am not aware of the transitions from back to side in my sleep, how do I operate with that, since I feel more need for more support for my neck while on my side, (and as you demonstrated in your video)?
I’m not sure if I will be able to both grab and remove the rolled up item while sleeping. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help ~
Thanks for your kind comment and your questions! 🙏🙂 The tool that we use in our video is our mini foam roller that is available to buy in our online shop. 👉🙂 lie-br.com/yt-cm3-foamroll Regarding your other question: If you move a lot during your sleep and turn from your back to your side, don't worry about it. If you wake up at night, just straighten your back again, stretch your legs, and go back to sleep. The longer you sleep in this position, the better! But of course, we're aware of the fact that it's not possible to sleep all night long on your back.

Yah! Please answer me
I did that so many times but i am not getting the good results and it is hurting so much...
what did you end up doing
Why you said no to neck roll ? Is it good for cervical patients? There is pillow available with neck roll then why said no to it?
thank you!!
Stretching the cervical spine to a straight line, eliminating the natural curvature of cervical spine, is unphysiological and puts immense pressure on discs, nerves, ligaments and muscles. It can cause the muscles go into painful spasm.
Hi there,
thanks for your comment! Unfortunately, we have to disagree with you! We've found that sleeping on your back without a pillow is the only position that allows your cervical spine to straighten the rest of the spine in order to release any built up tension, relax your muscles and fasciae, and relieve your pain. 💪🙂 Please get more detailed information as well as further pain management tips in our sleeping guide. 👉 lie-br.com/yt-cm3-backpainsleep

Thank you for the video! I've watched many videos about sleeping, and this is the first one that says not to use a cervical pillow. I'm going to try it for the next couple of days, but I'm worried that lying on my back with no pillow under the neck will bend my chin forward and block my airway which will result in sleep apnea or snoring. When I use a cervical neck pillow my neck is straight in the front and so I don't have trouble with snoring or breathing. What are your thoughts/suggestions? Thank you!
You're most welcome, Mark! 🙏 It's great that you're going to try this sleeping position for a pain-free sleep. 💪😴 Regarding your concern about sleep apnea or snoring:
We suggest you to tilt your chin down towards your chest. This could help you to prevent snoring. 😊 At the beginning you could also put a little pillow under your upper head, but just at the top, not in your neck. This will help your body to get used to this new sleeping position. Try to reduce the height of the pillow step by step, until you're able to sleep without any pillow at all. 🤗
Just give it a try and let us know how you got on, we'd love to hear from you again! 🙌😍
Best wishes,
Hannah from Liebscher & Bracht
@@Liebscher.Bracht_EN hi Hannah, thank you for the response. Tucking my chin into my chest makes it MORE difficult to breathe and increases snoring because that position blocks the airway.
Hi Mark,
sorry I got that wrong! Sure, bending your chin forward would make it more difficult. But don't worry about sleeping without a pillow, your body can still breathe properly. We've found that you'll rather have the problem that your head tilts backwards on the mattress. In this case, just remember our suggestion of a little pillow underneath your upper head. 🙂
Just give it a try and you'll see how it works for you! We're excited to hear your feedback! 😍🙌
All the best,
Hannah from Liebscher & Bracht

I wouldnt fully agree with with sleeping on the stomatch. But sleeping on the side - Is really gotta be the most safe and best position to sleep (with pillow). It just sucks that i cant sleep the whole night on my sides. I have to roll on my back atleast once or else i wont be able to fall asleep! Laying on your stomatch with your head on the sides for short time could be a good daily excersise to stretch your neck muscle.
Hi there,
thanks for sharing your opinion and experience. 🙏🙂 We've found that sleeping on your back is the best sleeping position if you suffer from neck, hip, shoulder, or back pain. If you sleep on your back without a pillow, this can support the spine to remain straight and release any tension in your muscles and fasciae.

Good information. I have light cracking sounds in my neck when I turn right or left. Would it be good to also sleep on my back. Or should I get contour pilow?
Thank you 🙂 If you have light cracking sounds in your neck, we still recommend you to sleep on your back without a pillow. 🙏 Generally, it's not bad if your joints crack as this only means that your joint is bouncing back to its original position (which has shifted due to too much tension in your neck muscles). 💪 As long as it's not painful, you don't have to worry about it. 🙂 However, you can still do some simple exercises for your neck ( that you can find here. 👉 lie-br.com/yt-cm3-neckpain ) and adapt your sleeping position which can release any built up tension, relax your neck, reduce these cracking sounds, and even prevent pain! 💪 Make sure that you practise regularly for at least 2 minutes for best results and please get back to us!

Have you also considered to sleep on your back without any pillow as demonstrated in the video above? 😊👆 Moreover, we recommend to sleep on a mattress that is as hard as possible, because in this sleeping position your spine is stretched properly and supported to remain straight, so muscular-fascial tension in your back and neck can be released during night.

Thank you for the video. I’ve had neck pain (and back pain) almost all my life. So naturally, I tried many things. Now I seem to have straight (flat?) neck too. So the idea is to not protect or possibly strain the neck, but to instead, be natural and let the body heal?
I’m also now wondering about beds. Since the whole body is connected, shouldn’t this be mentioned too?
Hi, Kyna!
Thank you for your comment! 🙏 We're sorry to hear that you've been dealing with back pain and neck pain almost your whole life. 😌 We know that this can be such a burden in daily life that seriously affects your quality of life. Therefore, we'd love to show you a great and simple way how to get rid of your pain naturally and all on your own by simply exercising regularly. Our stretches relax any built-up tension in your neck and back muscles that are actually causing your pain. This is what makes them so effective because they fight the real cause and relieve your pain sustainably. 💪 Just give them a try, you'll find them at the bottom of our encyclopedia of pain articles:

You're absolutely right, your bed and mattress can also have a significant impact on your sleeping position.

How about when you have implant in neck and scrues , plates in spine, what will help?
I find if I sleep on my back without a pillow I snore, the snoring actually prevents me from falling asleep. But if I put a roll under my neck, even a small one, this doesn't happen. Do you have any suggestions for this? In case this helps, I am a male , in my 20's, 185cm and 80kg.
Hi there,
if you need a pillow underneath your head to avoid snoring, try to put it only under the upper part of your head. 🙂 This video will demonstrate it. 😊👉 czcams.com/video/8GG05gtDv2s/video.html Although it's in German, you can still watch how to do it. 😉 In this position, the muscular-fascial tension and shortening of your head and neck will be stretched and normalized! 💪

@@Liebscher.Bracht_EN I've already been following it, for almost a week now, and my neck really started to feel some promising improvement..

However, from my personal experience after quitting pillows for almost a week, my neck, as I said, is really starting to improve.. in terms of pain and mobility.. also sounds from moving my neck seem to get quieter..

This is really weird! 😀 We've found that only sleeping without a pillow or tolled towel can relax your cervical spine and straighten the rest of the spine, so you're able to wake up with less or no pain. 💪 A more detailed explanation as well as further tips and instructions for a pain-free sleep can be found in this article. 👉🙂 lie-br.com/yt-cm3-backpainsleep But don't worry, as long as you can wake up pain-free, this is far more important and the only thing that counts - no matter how you achieve it. 🙏
Additionally, we can show you our simpe exercises that you can daily to help yourself against your headaches and relax your cervical spine. 👉🙂 lie-br.com/yt-cm3-ceheadache Give them a try and let us know how they worked for you! 🤗

Shoulder pain won’t let me sleep on my stomach,
Should we use pillows with cervical curve??
Hi Rutuja,
in our opinion, you should sleep without any pillow, since this will help to stretch and straighten your spine properly which will release muscular-fascial tension in your neck. You can also read more about it in the following article which also provides other tips for a perfect and pain-free sleep. 😊👉 lie-br.com/yt-cm3-backpainsleep And don't worry if it's uncomfortable at first, give yourself and your body time to get used to it, since changing your sleeping position is a major adjustment. 🙌😊

This information is completely opposite than every other doctor, surgeon, physical therapist and even quack chiropractors .. so who is correct 🤔
Listen to your medical doctors. Not this guy.
can you get benefits from side sleeping without pillows
Hi there 🙂
Thanks for your question! If you sleep on your side because you want to or need to, you better use a pillow that can support your neck. However, if possible we recommend you to sleep on your back without any pillow under your head for a pain-free and healthy sleep. 🙏🙂 Please get further instructions, explanations and tips in our sleeping guide. 👉 lie-br.com/yt-cm3-backpainsleep

Can I use hard tennis ball instead of the mini roller ?
Hi there 🙂
Thanks for your question! You can also use a tennis ball or a rolling pin instead of our foam massage rollers. 💪 Basically, you can use any comparable item that is similar in size and shape as a substitute if you don't have our products. 🙂 Just make sure if you use hard items that you don't press further than your "feel good" pain that is reached when you feel intense pain but you're still able to breathe calmly. 🙏

No pillows at all? The pain is gonna kill me in the morning
Hi there 🙂
Thanks for your comment. If your pain is worsening after the first few nights, this is totally normal. After a few weeks it will be easier for you to sleep in this position and your pain will be relieved. You could also try using a flatter pillow at first and reduce its height step by step, so your body can slowly get used to it. 🙂 Please learn more about it in our sleeping guide. 👉 lie-br.com/yt-cm3-backpainsleep We'd love to hear how you got on!

I woke up with crunch sound near my neck, Doctor told me that my spinal disc is teared a lil bit, so which position is good for this kind of problms, can u please reply me I am suffering from right side neck and right arm pain, it's paining a lot😞😞
Hi Kruthi!
We still recommend the sleeping position that is shown in this video. 🙂👆 Please try to sleep on your back without any pillow and on a mattress that is as hard as possible to help relieve your back, shoulder, and neck pain. 🙂 In our sleeping guide you can find further written instructions and pain management tips for a pain-free and healthy sleep. 👉🙂 lie-br.com/yt-cm3-backpainsleep
Please share your experience with us. We'd love to know how you feel! 🤗

What do you suggest about the Saunders cervical traction device?
Hi there,
unfortunately, we can't give you any advice on this device, since we dont' have any experience of this. We hope for your understanding! 🙏
But we know that our recommended sleeping position can be very helpful for a perfect and pain-free sleep. 😊 Have you already tried it to alleviate your neck and back pain? 💪 We'd love to hear your feedback and thoughts about it. 😊

This guy obviously doesn't know what hes talking about...
but who actually sleeps on the floor?? Chances are, most peoples beds are causing the spine to not be in alignement..Why would using no pillow correct this?
Hi Jimmy! 🙂
Thanks for your comment. Of course, sleeping on the floor is a pipedream and not feasible for everyone. But in our experience sleeping on your back without a pillow and on a hard mattress will relax your cervical spine, release any built up muscular-fascial tension and straighten the rest of the spine, so you're able to wake up with less or no pain. 💪 To get more detailed information as well as further tips and instructions for a pain-free sleep, please give this article a read. 👉🙂 lie-br.com/yt-cm3-backpainsleep We hope that it makes more sense to you now. 🙂

@@Liebscher.Bracht_EN i just got a new memory foam topper that is really firm compared to what I had. I tried to sleep with no pillow but it was uncomfortable. Should I keep trying with no pillow?
Yes, we definitely recommend you to keep trying without any pillow. 🙂🙏 And don't worry if this is uncomfortable at first. Since changing your sleeping position is a major adjustment, this can take some time, until your body gets used to it. You could also try using a flatter pillow at first and reduce the height of the pillow step by step, so your body can slowly get used to it. 😊

This video bugs me because the sound is off from the person talking. Distracting….shiver
Please note that this is actually a German video with English audio overlaid.

What are your credentials? This information contradicts research on sleep alignment (on back).
i tried sleeping with no pillows my neck and shoulders were agony
HI Cliff,
thank you for sharing your experience with us. 🙏 If your pain worsens after the first few nights of changing your sleeping position, it explains that your body is in a phase of transition and has to get used to the new posture. So don't worry about it, and give your body time to adjust. It's important now not to give up, but to continue to sleep like this. After some time it will be much easier for you to sleep in this position and your pain will be relieved. 😊

Wrong information
I actually breath so much better sleeping with no pillow.
That's wonderful! 🙏😍
5:34 Changes the whole topic of stiffness 😂😂😂
WHY??? 5:34
I’ve been sleeping wrong!
Then you should start changing your sleeping position for a pain-free and healthy sleep from today on! 🙂🙌 Give yourself and your body time to adjust to this new position and don't be discouraged if it's not easy at first. Just take one step at a time and keep us updated on how you get on! 🙂 In our sleeping guide you can find tips on how to easily adjust to it and further instructions for a pain-free sleep. 👉 lie-br.com/yt-cm3-backpainsleep

Don't share wrong information in social media if you unable to know the cause of neck pain or problems don't do like that I must say..
Hi there,

Petra Bracht, who have already helped many people with their pain. 🙌😍 We've found that most pain conditions are down to one and the same cause: muscular-fascial tension.

Not good positions for back issues.
You should not sleep with a neck roller, people are using a neck roller just for stretching in 5-10 minutes and that's all.
Exactly! 🙏🙂
I’m sick of sleeping on my back. Both shoulder are bad
don't forget wearing shoes while sleeping 😂
Hi, thanks for the video. I like to sleep on my back without a pillow. I slept for many years on my back with a 'roll pillow' also but like you mentioned it felt like my neck was pushed forward too much and not so relaxing as without a pillow.
The only downside I noticed is when i sleep without a pillow my face is more swollen in the mornings. And this takes a while. Do you noticed this too??
Thanks for your comment and for sharing your experience with us! 🤗 It's great that you sleep on your back without a pillow for a pain-free and healthy sleep. 🙏🙂 Unfortunately, we haven't noticed a swollen face as a consequence yet, so we can't tell you anything about it. Have you ever seen a doctor and got yourself checked out?
Best wishes,
Hannah from Liebscher & Bracht
@@Liebscher.Bracht_EN Thank you for the reply. Yes nothing 'wrong' with me. Just a sensitivity in a little bit more swollen face at times.. and laying the whole night without a pillow makes sense that the fluids go a little more to the head. Do you also sleep without a pillow? :)
Yes, I also sleep without a pillow and I really enjoy waking up the next morning with no pain. 🙏😍
@@Liebscher.Bracht_EN Thank you..:-)
It's a pleasure! 🙏😍 We're always happy to help!
...alfalfa.
is this a kung fu flick?
Cover her head up and that’s a 20 year old lady 😲
English dub always lets down🤦♂️
Hi Justin,
thanks for your comment! We're sorry for the English translation and dubbin. We know it's not perfect! We've just started to internationalise and therefore, we don't have English original voices for every video yet. But we definitely understand that this is annoying, which is why we're already working on a better solution and want to apologise for it. We suggest that you could read our written instructions and tips for a pain-free sleep in this article instead, if it's bothering you too much. 👉🙂 lie-br.com/yt-cm3-backpainsleep
