National Sleep Awareness Week

National Sleep Awareness Week (March 14-20, 2021)

One of the most important aspects of rehab is getting a good night sleep.

It is something that people in pain often struggle with because it is uncomfortable to lay down and painful to move around in bed.

Resulting in increased interruptions while sleeping and decreased total sleep duration in a night.

Studies have indicated that proper sleep improved for cognitive, motor, and physiological functions.

Hormones that are released during sleep act on many tissues to help promote healing, recovery, and growth.

Physical therapy has been shown to be an effective method of decreasing pain to allow an improved sleep and help keep you healthy for the long term.

We can help you with choosing a good pillow, show you ways to minimize your pain before bed and if you wake up in the night.
