San Francisco, Calif., September 20, 2012 – If you’re waking up with back pain, it may be due to the way you’re sleeping rather than a medical ailment. That’s according to renowned balance expert Jean Couch, founder of the Palo Alto-based Balance Center. "Misaligned bones create chronic tension," Couch explains.

Practicing proper alignment in bed takes stress off the joints and allows the muscles to relax for a more restful sleep."

Couch offers these tips on optimal spine alignment during sleep.
