Pain, Tension & Sleep
Muscle tension, chronic pain, and insomnia often go hand in hand.
Stress, unhelpful thought patterns, or past experiences can intensify physical discomfort and make it difficult to rest. Over time, this cycle can increase exhaustion, lower mood, and affect overall wellbeing.
Hypnotherapy draws on evidence-based approaches to support both mind and body. Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH) helps shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that can maintain pain, tension, or disrupted sleep. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) promotes psychological flexibility, encouraging a more compassionate relationship with physical sensations. Together, these approaches help calm the nervous system, reduce the impact of pain, and restore healthier patterns of rest and recovery.
Working in this way can:
Ease muscle tension and encourage relaxation
Support healthier and more restorative sleep
Reduce the intensity and impact of chronic pain
Break the cycle of stress, discomfort, and exhaustion
Provide practical strategies for wellbeing and daily resilience
