- Questions regarding sleep position is the most popular topic among y’all when it comes to scoliosis. You are intuitive! You understand that there might be something beneficial you can do for your scoliosis while you sleep. There might be one sleep position that’s better than another and you’re right!
If you sleep between 8-10 hours per night, you are spending 9,000 hours a year in bed. So, if you can position yourself in a way while you sleep that helps your scoliosis, why wouldn’t you want to try that?
Remember, the most important thing is that you get your sleep. If you’re able to fall asleep in a “good” position and stay there for even a few minutes or an hour, you are benefiting your scoliosis!

This video will explain what you need to know about sleeping on your stomach, which side to sleep on for which curve type and what you need to know about sleeping on your back.
A general rule of thumb, the firmer the mattress the better.
Why?
Firmer mattresses support your curves well, so you won’t sink further and further into your mattress and into your curve over the course of the night.
You also want to make sure your head is in line with the rest of your spine so that you’re not kinking your neck as you sleep.

As a 15 year old I find this very helpful, it’s quite hard to find a sleeping position that doesn’t make my back hurt, so thanks for the video!
You’re welcome!!!
This is interesting (I was told two days ago I have a mild scoliosis) but this caught my eye:
"If you sleep between 8-10 hours per night, you are spending 9,000 hours a year in bed."
May I point out:
365 x 10 = 3,650 hours each year in bed.
Very helpfull
Thanks for the video 😊
You're welcome:)
Thanq so much , so helpful
You’re welcome!!
Hi, may i know the right direction of sleep for dextroscolosis?
Hi, I am diagnosed with Scoliosis two days ago and its scary. I'm 26, and my doctor said its too late to straighten my spin to normal position. Your account is the only account that I could find for really the questions I’m looking for. Thank you! Do I need a second pillow for my legs?
Sorry I’m just seeing this! I’m glad you’ve found my account helpful. There is a lot of hope living with scoliosis. Our body is constantly changing. If things can get worse, that means they can also get better!!
Yes a pillow for your legs can be helpful if you’re finding the position uncomfortable. You should be able to fully relax and find ease:)
Regarding side sleeping, if one is fully fused T4 - 12 with no flexibility in the curve, would your advice be the same as in this video?
Really good question! Because of your fusion, you want to pay attention to your lumbar curve. You would want to lie on your lumbar concavity!
Hi! I have a S scholiosis with right dorsal curve and left lumbar curve. This lumbar one went worse on the late years. How is my best position to sleep? Thank you
If your lumbar curve is the larger curve, sleeping on your right side or back would be best.
I m from india and i had scoliosis sergery 10 year befor not i have pain if ido heavy work or have breathing problem while sleeping it is normal after lond time have pain in scoliosis
I have upper back pain and right curve thoracic spine. What would be my best sleeping position??
If the right curve is your largest curve, left side lying or on your back is best.
hi. we have the same case, and i really dont know what is the right position for dextroscoliosis in throacic spine.. can you upload more position for throcic spine. right curviture
If your right thoracic curve is your main curve, left side lying or on your back is best!
If you have right side curve, do you need to a wedge on opposite side?
@@thescoliotherapist thank you, yes i feel comfortable on the left side than sleeping on the right side.
My left shoulder is higher than my right. Which position of sleep or which side is the best to have a comfortable sleep? Thank you.
I have the same question.
I have severe thoracolumbar scolosis. My belly button has migtrated 1 1/2 in to my left. Best sleep position?.?
It sounds like the curve is toward the right maybe? If so, you would sleep on your left or on your back!
Will. I have a left curve and my right hip is higher ...what would be the best position/s for me
Right side would be optimal!
@@thescoliotherapist so I have to sleep on the right side?
@@layandiab8777 if you have the same curve as described above, yes 👍
I have an s-curve and my right rib protrudes my right scapula protrudes my right shoulder rolls forward which is obviously the reason for the surgeon and I just feel like my lower right rib is narrowin my left side is wider and more open
When I sleep I like to sleep on my back but I'm really not sure if it's the best position for me
Your back is a great position! You could make it even more comfortable by putting a small hand towel or Scolio-wedges under your prominences.
❤
That is simply and clear instruction!😊
Hello🙂.. I have double curve scoliosis. Can I ask what the right position to sleep? Thank you!❤️
If both curves are the same size, sleeping on your back is best or side sleeping on either side works as well:)
How should I use the wedge under the leftward kyphosis and forward lordosis on back sleeping position?
Hi Dr Meg...can i email and ask you about my daughter scoliosis? hope tat u can help me solve some of my doubt. tq

I have mild scoliosis. Would sleeping on my back be ok?
Yes definitely!
I have scoliosis in left side, which is best sleep position for me
😊
Hi! If your curve is on the left, lying on your back or on your right side is best for sleep:)
I noticed your support bra and would like to know where I can get one. I have right thoracic curve and think that bra would be a great reminder to stand more correct.
The top I’m wearing is from Athleta. It’s not a special support bra though.
How to order? Do you need prescription?
