You've heard of a skincare routine. Here's a recovery routine.
When you're healing, the hour before bed can make a real difference in how well you sleep.
Dim the lights about an hour before bed. Bright light tells your body it's still daytime.
Elevate the affected joint if you can. Even a small shift in positioning reduces pressure and swelling overnight.
Apply your iceless cold therapy device — the built-in timer handles the rest. 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off, all night long. Swelling and pain managed while you sleep.
Put the phone down. (We know. But it really does help.)
Recovery sleep isn't the same as regular sleep. Treat it like it matters, because it does.
