Most of the time when people come to their physical therapy appointments with us, they expect to talk about movement, exercises, and treatment plans. But one of the things we discuss more than almost anything else? Sleep.
That’s because your sleep quality impacts your recovery just as much as anything we do in our sessions.
Deep sleep is when your body goes into full repair mode — releasing growth hormone, rebuilding muscle tissue, and regulating inflammation. It also helps manage pain, support immune health, balance key hormones, and improve mental clarity — all of which are essential for healing and staying active.
If you’re not sleeping well, your body doesn’t get the full chance to recover. And that can mean slower progress, more discomfort, and more frustration.
In our latest blog, we break down why sleep is a core part of your recovery plan — not a bonus.
Here are two simple tips to help you sleep (and heal) better:
-
Stick to a consistent bedtime. Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day helps regulate your sleep cycle and improves sleep depth.
-
Avoid screens for 30–60 minutes before bed. Blue light can delay melatonin release, making it harder for your brain and body to wind down.
