How to Sleep Better After Surgery Using the Restore You Therapeutic Support
Sleep Better | Heal Faster.
After shoulder surgery, sleep deprivation is the #1 obstacle to healing. Yet most patients don’t realize how crucial sleep is during recovery because it helps the body heal. Although doctor understand this, they rarely stress it to their patients because there has been no real solution to helping them sleep comfortably in a modified position for several weeks after surgery.
Until now. With Restore You Therapeutic Support, you can finally sleep comfortably in your own bed, starting your first night home from surgery.
Step 1
Place the Restore You Support on your bed with your favorite pillow.

Step 2
Get into bed and position yourself inside the support with the back of your head resting on your pillow. If you’re recovering from rotator cuff or shoulder surgery, remember to keep your sling on until it is time to lie back and sleep, and NEVER use your recovering arm to assist you in any way.

Step 3
Get comfortable, remove your sling, and prepare for sleep. We recommend placing your sling within arm’s reach on top of the covers.

Step 4
Lay back and rest! Upon waking, put your sling back on before getting up.
