Sleep and Upper Airway Disorders - with Physiotherapist Tierney Gunthorpe

In this episode, I have a conversation with physiotherapist Tierney Gunthorpe. We discuss sleep disorders, sleep apnea, sleep bruxism, how to prepare for a good nights sleep, and more.Tierney Gunthorpe has been a physiotherapist for over 17 years and during this time she always worked in private practice. She obtained her Bachelor of Science In Physical Therapy from Queen's University in 2005 and then her Masters in Clinical Physiotherapy in 2012 from Curtin University, in Perth Australia.Since she become a physio, she doesn't just focus on your area of pain, she identifies and corrects the root cause. She believes in whole client treatment, giving you an all-around treatment approach that has better results than just treating the symptoms.And when she started to have her own sleep issues after she stopped nursing her son during the night, she wanted to find out why she was having a sleeping issues and not just take sleeping pills. She hated the women she was becoming - impatient, cranky, short tempered, tired all the time, inability to do her job well so she knew she had to change.So after taking several courses in sleep, reading and researching sleep, she became a sleep coach after she fixed her sleeping issues as she realized that there is a huge gap between the health care system in sleep.Sleep is the foundation of our health. We break down our bodies during the day and repair them at night time.She cares about her clients and provides an individualized approach to your sleep issues. She takes the time to listen to your story, do a full assessment to completely understand your problem, the root causes, and identify core areas to focus on in order to improve your sleep quality.There is no greater satisfaction than helping someone waking up rested with a clear mind, feeling good to take on another good day.website - https://optimizesleepquality.com/IG handle - https://www.instagram.com/tierney_sleepingcoachBe sure to check out our courses, and events at www.thevisceralvoice.com!
