Inclusion Criteria

Three groups will be recruited for this study. All persons will be required to be fluent and literate in English.

One group will be healthy volunteers with no spinal symptoms.

The second group will include volunteers who experience predominantly cervical pain or stiffness or bothersomeness, greater than or equal to 3/10 on a numerical rating scale (NRS), that is greatest lying in bed or on rising (within 30 minutes) and occurs 4 or more times per month.

The third group will include volunteers who experience predominantly lumbar pain or stiffness or bothersomeness, greater than or equal to 3/10 on a numerical rating scale (NRS), that is greatest lying in bed or on rising (within 30 minutes) and occurs 4 or more times per month.

Exclusion Criteria

Less than 18 years and greater than 45 years of age, medical conditions or devices that prevent person from sleeping in all postures e.g. severe OA, esophageal reflux, breathing apparatus, late stage pregnancy, coexisting medically diagnosed inflammatory conditions or unremitting pain e.g. RA, AS, radicular pain, taking medically prescribed hypnotic or relaxant
medications and previously treated by main researcher for spinal pain.
