Introduction
Sleep is the foundation of optimal health. Yet in South Africa alone, millions suffer from diagnosed sleeping disorders. This ranges from mild to severe cases, including conditions like insomnia, sleep apnea, and restless legs syndrome. The market is flooded with prescription sleep aids to manage sleep-related issues. This includes medications like sleeping pills, sedatives, and other pharmaceutical interventions.
Aside from the risks associated with prescription and OTC drugs, research shows that poor sleep quality has a negative effect on your hormones, exercise performance, and brain function.
In 2020, two global leaders in the health and wellness industry – Therabody and Biostrap – came together to find a natural method for a better night’s sleep. As the importance of quality sleep for overall health became increasingly evident, people started seeking effective and natural solutions to improve their sleep patterns. Recognizing this need, two industry leaders, Therabody and Biostrap, embarked on a groundbreaking collaboration to explore the potential of percussive therapy in revolutionizing sleep quality.
This article delves into their study, revealing the transformative power of percussive therapy in promoting a restful and rejuvenating slumber.

The Study: Percussive Therapy and Sleep
At the heart of this innovative study lies Biostrap's advanced wearable sleep device, renowned for its ability to track a plethora of sleep metrics with unparalleled accuracy.
73 carefully selected healthy adults, aged between 18 and 40, participated in this comprehensive study. These individuals maintained an active lifestyle, engaging in a minimum of three weekly workout sessions, each lasting at least 30 minutes, over a period of five weeks.
The study unfolded in three distinct phases, each designed to provide valuable insights into the impact of percussive therapy on sleep.
During the initial two weeks, participants continued with their regular lifestyle, forming a baseline for comparison. In the following two weeks, participants incorporated Therabody's cutting-edge Theragun devices and diligently followed the prescribed sleep routine offered through the Therabody app. After each workout session, participants indulged in the Theragun protocols for post-exercise recovery, followed by the sleep protocol just before bedtime. The final week allowed participants to revert to their normal routines without Theragun intervention.
