Bed - Getting Into Bed

0 Recommendations

First, sit down on the side of the bed.
Lean toward the head of the bed while supporting your body with both hands.
Then lie down on your side, bringing both feet up onto the bed at the same time
Keep your knees bent and arms in front of you. Then roll onto your back in one motion
Pull your abdomen in as you roll to support your back and to help prevent twisting.
Keep nose, knees, and toes pointing in the same direction.
Do not lift your head and upper back to move in bed. This puts a great deal of strain on your spine and could cause fractures.
