Overview

As physiotherapists we may ask cursory questions to our patients but sleep. But often don't feel comfortable digging deeper. There's a strong relationship between pain and sleep which means the likelihood is that a number number of people on your caseload struggle with sleep. The biopsychosocial model has been making more and more inroads into how we look at our treatment strategies, which is great. But, sleep health can often be forgotten.What I discovered was that sleep education focused for the physical therapist was sparse.I wrote this book to empower the physiotherapist with the knowledge and tools to help understand sleep health.The book is meant to be easy-to-read and digest. It's broken down into 9 chapters: Chapter 1: When Sleep Goes WrongChapter 2: Understanding Insomnia & Other Sleep ConditionsChapter 3: Drug Effects on SleepChapter 4: The Dance Between Sleep & PainChapter 5: Understanding SleepChapter 6: Evaluating SleepChapter 7: Insomnia ManagementChapter 8: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)Chapter 9: Conclusion & Next StepsAndrew Koppejan, a registered physiotherapist and founder of ignitephysio, an online learning community, has spent the better part of his medical professional life seeking to improve connection and collaboration between medical professionals for the benefit of patients.
