Mattress | Exercises with a flat back

Mattress

The type of mattress can also influence the therapy of a flat back. Due to the flattened spine, it is particularly important that the entire spine is evenly supported in the supine position. Basically, the spine should always retain its natural shape, even in a lateral position, and must be supported accordingly.

Especially on the side, it is therefore important to check how far the shoulder and pelvis must sink in in the individual position to ensure this. Of course, this is always dependent on your physique and weight and is therefore not generally valid for everyone. When buying a mattress, it is therefore important to seek extensive advice and to have the correct position of the spine checked by a specialist when trying it out.
