@mikaylar Proper body mechanics Forget jumping out of bed. Elevating from bed roll onto to your side to the edge of bed then elevate & sit on the edge of bed, then elevate upright.

Glad you asked👍 Whether it’s getting into or out of a bed, chair etc. PT before surgery will teach you how to elevate & recline involves forward flexion head/neck & mid waistline. Example : elevating from bed roll like a log onto your side then sit & stand.
