The side/stomach position, often referred to as the prone position when lying face down, involves a person lying on their side or stomach. This position can be comfortable for some individuals and is commonly used during sleep or relaxation. It may help reduce snoring and improve breathing for certain people. In the context of medical examinations, the side/stomach position allows healthcare professionals to access specific areas of the body more easily. It is often used during procedures or assessments involving the spine, abdomen, or chest, providing a clear view and access for examination or treatment.
