What is wrong? Gerry Ross H.B.Sc. PT, MCPA, FCAMT 318 GUELPH ST., GEORGETOWN • T: 905.873.7677 cbi.ca/web/physiotherapy-georgetown A: Sleep quality and quantity is essential in life. Occasionally our sleep position, pillow and/ or mattress can be the problem. However, very often it is the activities or postures we use throughout the day that have a huge impact on our sleep quality. Inflammation is a component of pain that is present all day; however our other body systems are also rapidly working all day which can minimize the pain levels. At night when we settle into bed, everything slows does; however, the inflammatory response in your body continues to be active, causing pain and not allowing you to sleep. A physiotherapist in discussion with you and with a physical assessment can help you determine the cause of your night pain and provide strategies in the form of home remedies and hands on treatment to assist you in getting a good night sleep.
