Unai has been a regular physiotherapy patient for about eight years and shares in this testimonial his personal experience with a sleep problem that he links to his pace of life and work stress. He initially came to the practice for overload in his back and neck —aggravated by spending many hours sitting down— and came to the centre on the recommendation of his wife, also a patient.
He recounts that, faced with his sleep disturbances, physiotherapist and osteopath María González proposed a non-invasive neuromodulation treatment focused specifically on rest, with prior objective assessments and follow-up using an actigraph. He explains that, after several sessions, he began to sleep better: he stopped waking up during the night and began to wake up rested, something he had not managed to achieve in a long time.
He also describes that the improvement went beyond sleep itself. He notes that he feels much calmer in his daily life and that he was able to confirm this during a week of heavy workload, in which —despite the demanding deadlines that usually cause him anxiety and poor rest— he faced the work from a very different perspective. For Unai, just as the treatment of his back improves his quality of life, in this case that benefit has carried over to his rest and his general wellbeing.
