How To Choose A Body Pillow For Managing Your Spinal (Back & Neck) Pain?
As an executive mum, it is essential to choose a pillow that fits your specific needs. Selecting the right body pillow is crucial for mums dealing with back and neck pain as it can make all the difference when it comes to alleviating spinal pain. But with so many options available, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. In this blog lets discuss the different features of body pillows and how they relate to your specific needs.

The first thing to consider is the material of the body pillow. Memory foam is a popular choice because it contours to your body, providing customized support. This can be especially beneficial for mums who need targeted relief for their back pain and neck pain. On the other hand, down or feather-filled body pillows offer a softer, more flexible option that allows for more movement during the night.

Next, consider the size and shape of the pillow. Body pillows come in different shapes. Full-length body pillows are ideal for providing support from your head to your feet, which can help avoid poor postures throughout the night. For those who prefer a smaller option, there are wedge-shaped pillows that can be placed under the knees or behind the back to relieve pressure on specific areas. 

Finally, think about the firmness of the body pillow. Ideally a body pillow should be soft enough to be comfortable yet firm enough to provide support and maintain proper alignment of the spine. A firmer pillow will provide more support, which can be beneficial for those with chronic pain. However, if you prefer a softer feel, look for a pillow that still offers adequate support without being too rigid. A body pillow can be beneficial in relieving and managing spinal pain.

While using a body pillow it is also essential to ensure a good posture while sleeping. HERE is a free guide on "How can you maintain a Good Posture While Sleeping". It gives you the details of sleeping posture in side lying, back sleeping, 3 postures to avoid when sleeping and how to change to a better sleeping posture and much more.

MEET SWATI

 
Hi there! 
I am Swati, an Executive Mum Power Coach & Certified Posture Expert

I help mums of young kids working in high-stress executive jobs manage back, neck, and nerve pain, even with low energy, brain fog, and little time to spare. My proven system delivers real relief without stealing hours from your already packed day. The result? More productive professionals at work and guilt-free mums who can be fully present with their kids, instead of being sidelined by pain.



My passion comes from personal experience. I’ve been where you are: in pain, overwhelmed, and exhausted. After two pregnancies in three years, juggling my kids, housework, and a demanding job, I was stuck in a constant cycle of back and nerve pain. The physical load of motherhood added strain to my spine and joints. Meanwhile, adrenal fatigue left me drained, even after 10–12 hours of sleep.

Everyday tasks became a struggle. I was forgetful, foggy, and low on energy. Even as a trained physiotherapist and posture expert, I couldn’t escape my own pain. I stood all day at work, spent evenings on the laptop, rocked my kids to sleep, sat through endless meetings, traveled frequently ... I’ve been through it all.

I kept my pain hidden at work, afraid to speak up. I felt like a fraud, someone who coached others on relief strategies but couldn’t find relief herself. I loved my job and my children, but I couldn’t give 100% to either. Pain was holding me back.

One New Year, I made a resolution: to get healthy, not just fix pain, fatigue, or weight. I focused on reducing inflammation, healing my adrenal fatigue, and reclaiming my energy. Slowly but surely, the pain faded. I lost weight, my brain fog cleared, and my energy skyrocketed. Today, my pain is nearly gone. I feel stronger, clearer, and more in control than I have in years.
And now, I want that for you.

I combine professional expertise with lived experience to support other mums like me, those with young kids, high-stress jobs, and no time for complicated health programs. I’ve helped hundreds of women reduce spinal and joint pain, lift their energy, and clear the mental fog that holds them back.

If any of this resonates, you’re not alone. I’ve been there. I got you, mommy!

Let’s get you feeling strong, confident, and fully present at work and at home.
Are you ready to start? Curious about how this works? Just ask.

Let's DO THIS!
xx Swati
