'I have so many patients that, when they come in for therapy, I lie them down on their back, on the mat, and they need at least two pillows, sometimes I even have to lift the head of the mat up, because they cannot lie flat without discomfort or their head kind of going like this,' she explained, as she tilted her head all the way back.
'If we are here all day, and we lie down with two pillows, what that does is it lifts the floor up to our head, conforming to our curve that's occurring over time with poor posture, instead of letting our neck and spine stretch back into a nice straight position,' Sammy explained, as she demonstrated the position.
