Why not shift your focus?

Pain-Free Sleep Even in Times of Crisis

How is that possible? Physical therapy clinics were closed, and gyms and specialty mattress stores are only opening up hesitantly.

As posture and sleep therapists at IG Richtig Liegen und Schlafen, we know that pain often fades into the background when we shift our focus to something else, something more pleasant. So, let’s use this time of crisis to focus on our bodies and become fully aware of them. Yes, that includes the pain. And perhaps your low spirits at the moment. Maybe your body needs a healthier diet right now to strengthen your immune system. It’s the perfect time to try out new recipes! How about a smoothie flavored with turmeric, ginger, or cinnamon? Or a delicious vegetable dish? Experiment to your heart’s content and treat yourself to this pleasure.

A daily walk—with or without an umbrella—will certainly help lift your spirits. Give yourself a nudge! This light exercise naturally gets your muscles moving, helping them relax better at night.

Before going to bed, take some time for a short meditation or body scan; this will help you focus on relaxing your muscles and allow you to let go more easily. All of this helps reduce tension and, in turn, counteract the pain to some extent.

However, if the wrong bedding is the main cause of your pain and tension, call one of our sleep and bedding therapists near you. We can either provide helpful tips right away during the phone call or even schedule a personal consultation at the respective store. This varies by canton.

Starting May 11, all IG-RLS specialty stores will be open for in-person visits again—you can look forward to that now!

Until then, focus on the positive aspects of everyday life, pay close attention to your needs, and sleep well!
