Neck symptoms can sometimes become more noticeable after prolonged **sitting, driving, computer work, looking down at your phone, or repetitive household activities**.

C6-C7 is a commonly affected area of the cervical spine, but symptoms alone cannot tell you exactly which disc or nerve is involved. A proper medical assessment is important when neurological symptoms are present. In this video, I'll also explain the different stages and terminology associated with **disc changes and herniation** so you can better understand what may be happening in your neck. ### 🙌 GENTLE NERVE GLIDES

My Core Back Protocol combines principles from Physical Therapy, Pilates, Yoga, mobility, and progressive strengthening to help you build a stronger foundation. 👉 Book a FREE One-on-One Coaching Consultation: WHY DOES MY HIP HURT WHEN I SLEEP ON MY SIDE? Side sleeping places direct pressure on the outside of the hip. For some people, this can make an already sensitive area more uncomfortable—especially around the greater trochanter, where several important muscles and tendons attach. Persistent pain on the outside of the hip can sometimes be associated with conditions such as gluteal tendinopathy or greater trochanteric pain syndrome, but hip pain can have many different causes. That's why we don't want to assume every painful hip simply needs to be stretched. Your symptoms may also be influenced by factors such as: ✓ Gluteus medius and minimus weakness ✓ Hip and pelvic stability ✓ Previous injuries ✓ Hip mobility ✓ Sleeping position ✓ Mattress and pillow support ✓ Tendon sensitivity ✓ Arthritis or other joint conditions Understanding what is contributing to your symptoms is important. 🛌 YOUR SLEEPING POSITION MATTERS When you're lying on your side, your hips and legs aren't always perfectly aligned.
