Sleep, mood and chronic pain

Pain disturbs sleep, and poor sleep can make pain feel more intense the following day. Many people live inside that loop for a long time before anyone offers to address it.

Support often starts with practical routines around sleep timing, activity and pacing, alongside psychological support for the worry and tension that persistent pain creates.

Because psychology sits within the same team as pain management and physiotherapy at Thrive, this support forms part of one plan rather than a separate referral.

If pain is affecting your mood or sleep, mention it at your consultation so it can be included in your care.
