If you are suffering from back pain, you probably have a very tough time in the morning when you get up from bed. The back may feel sore or stiff when you wake up. Therefore, you must be very careful about your body movement in such cases. For example, a simple way is to stretch your body long while taking a deep breath. Following is a brief rundown on how to get out of bed in a way that is good for the health of your back.

Step 1

The first step is to get closer to the edge of the bed while lying in your bed. Now, start bending your knees slowly in the upward direction in a way that your feet become flat on the bed. You have to do this while your still lying on your back.

Step 2

The next step is to roll onto the desired side while keeping your knees bent. However, there are a couple of things that you need to keep in mind in this regard. For example, while you are doing this, it is very important for you to make sure that you are moving your spine as a unit instead of twisting the same otherwise the movement may worsen your back pain. If you find it difficult to do, you should try imagining as if a wooden log or steel rod has been placed in your spine right from the shoulder area to the hip area. Do not try to apply much force to roll your body - let the gravity help instead. The key point here is not to tighten your ab muscles or back intentionally.

Step 3

Now, put both hands on your side on the bed and push yourself upwards up to sitting. While pushing your body in such a way, you should gently bend your legs at the knees and hips. Don't forget that iron rod in your spine - move your spine as a unit. Don't twist it. Try to anchor your position by using the weight of your legs. This way, the rest of your body will easily be pushed up without applying extra force or pressure from your spine or back. If you seriously want to avoid back pain, you should not hurry up. Go slow in a comfortable manner in order to accomplish the movement safely.

Now that you are in a sitting position on bed while your feet touching the ground, relax for a moment. But, make sure that you are sitting while balancing your body - don't put pressure on just one side of your seat. Since you were lying down for several hours and now the body is transitioning to the standing position, you should try to arch your lower back gently while sitting up tall. While you do so, make sure that your one leg is placed in front of the other. Such movements will get you some relief from back pain.
