FROM OUR PRACTICE

SportsMedX addresses the missing piece in persistent pain: what happens during the 160+ hours per week outside professional care, including the 56 hours spent sleeping.

For most areas, we search extensively for the best available products. When existing products solve the problem, we recommend them. When they don't, as was the case for sleep positioning and evidence-based sleep education, we develop our own. This led to the creation of the Noble Pillow System and the co-founding of the Sleep Coaching Institute.

If you're experiencing chronic pain despite good care and quality products, our protocols optimize sleep positioning, recovery setup, and daily ergonomics.

For practitioners whose treatment plans aren't producing expected results, we provide structured guidance on positioning and recovery that happens outside your clinic.
