Video Description
There’s a seemingly endless series of articles all telling us to get more sleep and yet very few that give any direction on how to improve the quality of our sleep. James Leinhardt joined us to discuss the topic of “sleep posture”. Along with improving the quality of our sleep he asserted that better sleep posture brings a host of other benefits including better spine health, general wellbeing and reduction in neck and back pain. Ultimately better sleep posture will mean waking up rested and free of pain. Yes please! James Leinhardt is the founder and Chief Sleep Posture Expert of Levitex. He has a wealth of knowledge in nighttime postural care and has designed medical devices to manage the posture for people suffering with complex neurological illness and injury. He works with NHS trusts and social care throughout the UK and clients as far as the Middle East and Australia. Working with client groups such as catastrophic brain injury, MS, Cerebral Palsy and Stroke survivors, James feels a strong sense of purpose to care and improve the lives of patients in medical difficulty and the wider public. James guest lectures at Universities across the UK and US and is a Honorary Lecturer at the School of Sport and Health Sciences within the University of Central Lancashire. He is passionate about spreading the message of the importance of sleep posture as a clinical intervention to the next generations of nurses, occupational therapists and physiotherapists. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
