The hidden role sleep plays in recovery

Most people focus on exercises, stretches and treatments during recovery.

But one of the most powerful recovery tools is often overlooked: sleep.

WHY SLEEP MATTERS:

During sleep, your body:

• Repairs tissues

• Produces growth hormones

• Regulates inflammation

• Restores energy

Poor sleep can interfere with all of these processes.

What poor sleep can cause:

Insufficient sleep may contribute to:

• Increased pain sensitivity

• Slower healing

• Reduced energy

• Poor exercise performance

Improving recovery through better sleep.

Consider:

• Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule

• Limiting screens before bed

• Creating a comfortable sleep environment

• Managing stress levels

Recovery doesn't only happen during rehab.

Much of your body's repair work happens while you're asleep.

If pain is affecting your sleep or poor sleep is affecting your recovery, we can help identify strategies that support both.
