Waking up with back pain isn’t the best way to start your day—but for many people, it’s a common (and frustrating) routine.
If you’re constantly feeling stiff, sore, or tight in the morning, you’re not alone. At Dynamic Health Therapy in Keswick, we see patients every week with the same question:
“Why does my back hurt when I get out of bed?”
Here’s what might be causing it—and how physiotherapy can help you feel better fast.
Common Causes of Morning Back Pain
1. Poor Sleep Posture
Sleeping in awkward positions can strain your spine and muscles overnight.
If your pillow or mattress doesn’t support your natural alignment, you may wake up feeling sore.
2. Tight Muscles and Inactivity
During sleep, your body is still for hours. This lack of movement can cause muscle tightness—especially if you already have imbalances or old injuries.
3. Inflammation from Underlying Conditions
Conditions like arthritis, herniated discs, or sciatica often flare up in the morning due to inflammation that builds while you sleep.
4. Stress or Overuse
If you’ve been lifting, sitting for long periods, or carrying tension from stress, your back may tighten overnight and feel worse when you wake up.
How Physiotherapy Can Help
At Dynamic Health Therapy, we treat the root cause of your back pain—not just the symptoms.
