Why Your Morning Hurts... And What To Do About It

You wake up stiff. Roll out of bed feeling 90. Bend down to pick something up and your back reminds you it’s there.

Most people blame the couch. The late night. Getting older.

They’re half right.

It’s not age. It’s what you didn’t do yesterday. And the day before. And the month before that.

Your body doesn’t punish you for one bad night. It punishes you for weeks of sitting, standing still, and forgetting that movement is medicine.

The fix isn’t complicated. Twenty minutes of intentional stretching before bed. Basic mobility work when you wake up. Nothing fancy. Just consistent.

I move every single day. Not because I’m special. Because I refuse to wake up feeling broken.

Morning doesn’t have to hurt. But that choice starts today, not a date in the future.

What’s your body trying to tell you right now?
