How a towel can help your neck and back pain.

It’s always great to find practical tips that cost nothing, using items that every home will have, and that actually work.

As I have mentioned before I do suffer occasional neck pain.  So when I found this article by chiropractor Diana Doty on the naples news.com website I had to try it out. Guess what? It’s great.

It’s also really simple, involving rolling up a bath towel and placing it behind your neck when you sleep. As I say I have tried this and it works a treat.

You can also do the same thing, placing a rolled up towel in the small of your back which apparently is good for back pain. I can’t vouch for this one, not having tried it yet, but I’m sure it could prove very useful.

To read about the principles behind this, and how to get the size correct for you, positioning etc. you should read the short article at this link.
