Memory foam bedding consists of mattresses, pillows and foam toppers. Tempurpedic and other products made from this material are generally promoted as a space-age polymer because they were created from a visco-elastic material that was developed for NASA. This material was used to solve problems that NASA was having with padding the astronauts as it was necessary that they had a reliable way that could shield them from high g-force pressures. This visco-elastic material is also sensitive to heat and pressure.

The nervous system of the human body consists of two parts. The voluntary nervous system is the one you control with your brain. If you want to throw a ball, all you do is think about moving your arm and the necessary muscles work in a coordinated fashion to make it happen. The involuntary nervous system is the part that controls everything else. Most people are aware that it controls things such as your heartbeat, breathing, and digestion, but it also controls all the muscles you don’t think about. When you raise your arm to throw a ball, the muscles on the other side of your body also contract to keep you in balance. You don’t have to think about it; it just happens.

The main goal of the involuntary nervous system is to keep you alive. This requires placing more importance on certain areas of the body than others. If you fall down, your hands automatically go out to protect your head from hitting the ground. Better to have a broken arm or wrist than a brain injury. Likewise, if you have a splinter in your left foot your body automatically places more weight on your right foot. If you don’t remove the splinter, eventually your right foot would start to hurt because it is overcompensating for the injured foot.

Patients with TMD usually have irritated jaw joints, which is similar to having a splinter in your foot. Whether due to a bad bite, a slipped disk, or trauma to the joints, the only way the body can take the pressure off the joints without consciously thinking about it is to change the head position. Try this simple exercise: Open your mouth, look up at the ceiling, then close your mouth and notice which teeth touch first. Next, open your mouth, look at the floor, and close your mouth and notice, which teeth touch first. For most people, it’s quite different, and one position is usually more comfortable than the other. Naturally, you can’t walk around all day looking at the ceiling or at the floor, but the body can figure out a way to change the bite while your head is level. By holding the head in a different position (usually forward), the bite changes just enough to take the pressure off the irritated jaw joint. In order to do this, however, the neck and shoulder muscles must be constantly contracted to keep the head from falling over. Better to have sore neck muscles than be unable to chew or talk.

The human head weighs about as much as a bowling ball. Imagine holding a bowling ball in the starting position, close to your body with your forearm straight up and down. You could probably hold the ball like this for quite a long time. Now imagine moving the ball about six inches away from your body. How long do you think it would take for your arm muscles to become sore or irritated? Of course, you could use your other arm to hold up the first one, but eventually the other arm would become tired as well. In fact, if you could hold the ball up long enough, your shoulders would start to hurt, your back muscles might cramp, and even your feet may become tired because of the awkward position of your body.

Both latex and memory foam mattresses are good choices for shared sleeping, especially if one person tosses and turns more than the other, because they isolate motion. Bedding made from this visco-elastic material is effective for anyone whether he is a side sleeper or one who sleeps on his back or stomach.

1. Lay down on your back and touch one finger to your chin.
2. Try to tuck your chin backwards using the muscles in the front of your neck. Use your finger as a cue; think about “pushing” your chin backwards.
3. Hold the contraction for 1-2 seconds.
4. Do this for 3 sets of 10 reps. Take 30 seconds in between each set.

If you suffer from posture-related neck and upper back pain, try out this drill when you first wake up in the morning before you get out of bed and at night when you are lying down to go to sleep. Within a week, you are likely to see an improvement
