Bed - Lying Down and Getting Out of Bed

When lying on your side in bed, use one pillow between your knees and one under your head to keep your spine aligned and increase your comfort.
When lying on your back in bed, use one or two pillows under your knees and one under head. Try to avoid using extra pillows to prop your head and upper back since this will put you into a rounded upper back postion. But, if you have a rounded upper back posture with a forward head, you may need two pillows to support your neck comfortably.
When getting out of bed, reverse the steps you took to get into bed.
Keep both arms in front of you.
Pull your abdomen in and breathe as you roll on to your side.
Keep your abdomen pulled in and use your hand to raise your upper body as you carefully place your legs over the side of the bed in one motion.
Sit on the edge of the bed or a moment or two before you stand up.
When on your back, never lift your head and upper back to sit up in bed or get out of bed.
