Sleep Conditions

Sleep is the most powerful restorative antidote in the world.

Sleep is how our body heals.

Quality Sleep Conditions allow the cells of our physical body to regenerate while our brain detoxifies and clears space for new thoughts, ideas, and unique neural pathways.

There are multiple stages of sleep and REM Sleep (Rapid Eye Movement) is the most important of them. 

During the REM phase of sleep, our body produces the greatest amount of growth hormone. This sleep cycle allows for healthy growth and development in children while providing restorative cellular turnover for healthy bones and tissues in adults.  When we’re deprived of REM Sleep we wake up feeling physically exhausted and mentally fatigued.

How do I know if I’m getting enough REM Sleep?

If you can relate to one or more of the following statements you are most likely in need of more REM Sleep:

  • I sleep for 8 hours and still wake up exhausted.
  • I don’t snore, I fall asleep fine, so why am I tired throughout the day?
  • My neck and back are always sore and I have really low energy.
  • I can’t seem to beat the common cold.  I always seem to be battling something.
  • My whole body is achy and I constantly feel I can’t seem to catch up on sleep.
  • My partner says I snore constantly, but I think I sleep just fine.
  • I can’t get rid of the puffiness in my face and the bags under my eyes. I’ve tried everything.
  • It takes me so long to heal from even a simple injury.
  • I’m constantly clenching my jaw and I can’t get rid of the constant headaches. Feel free to contact our highly trained physical therapist  at Elite Health Services.

What can I do to improve my REM Sleep?

There are many factors preventing humans from achieving the high-quality REM sleep that is required to function as healthy and active individuals.

One of the biggest factors affecting your sleep quality is what occurs throughout the course of your day.  At the very top of the list is daytime breathing disorders.  If you don’t breathe properly during the day, there is no chance you will breathe well at night.  Not breathing well severely restricts your ability to access, and progress through, the appropriate sleep stages.

The Solution

During a comprehensive evaluation, Elite Health Services physical therapists identify dysfunctional breathing patterns and potential problems which may be preventing you from achieving health and restorative sleep.

When a faulty breathing pattern is identified, a multifaceted treatment program is created for you utilizing one or more of the following components:

Posture and Body Mechanics

The ability to maintain proper postural alignment is the primary prerequisite for proper breathing and sleeping.

When your respiratory system struggles to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide, your body will compensate in any way possible to move air at the expense of the rest of your body.

Faulty breathing patterns due to poor posture lead to chronic headaches, jaw pain, neck pain, back pain, and shoulder problems, just to name a few.

As physical therapists, we work to eliminate these symptoms; getting to the root of the problem and improving your posture during all activities to make sure your breathing is optimal.

If you have been having problems getting a good night’s sleep, please contact Elite Health Services today at Old Greenwich, CT Center to schedule an appointment. We can help get to the root cause of your sleep disorder.
