Why does lying on the floor help lower back pain?
I have been to the doctor and been told that I have strained my lower back. I have been given strong pain killers and told to sleep on the floor. I will do this (and I have heard of this technique before) but I just wondered why lying on the floor will help?
I have slept on the floor for years. It keeps my spine straight. I do have some padding, it’ a judo tatami, it helps a lot.
