Sleep Mastery Training

Hi, I’m Dr Doug Cary (PhD)

I’VE HELPED A LOT OF PATIENTS. HERE’S HOW I CAN HELP YOU.

I’ve been a Physiotherapist for 35 years and researching sleep quality and spinal pain for the past 9 years. As an early career Physiotherapist, I didn’t think about sleep. My mistake. I focused on helping patients through advice, exercises and hands-on treatments. One day a patient told me how their neck pain started as soon as they turned their head in the morning. No load, slow movement and intense pain. My experience couldn’t understand why and my skillset had nothing to offer. I was coming up short.

This started my journey into a research Master’s and then a PhD, in which I examined the relationships between sleep postures and waking spinal symptoms and quality of sleep. Along the way, I have been incorporating what I have learnt into my clinical practice. Trying different approaches, handouts, and techniques and over the years I have distilled this information into a sleep improvement program called Sleep Mastery. I have used this program to assist countless patients in achieving a good night’s sleep.

In my other role as Clinical Director with AAP Education, I come into contact with hundreds of other clinicians. Common to nearly all, they are like me when I was an early career Physiotherapist. Blind to the critical importance that sleep has on our ability to learn, function, recover and repair. This is why I created Sleep Mastery, a course to help aspiring clinicians learn from my experiences how to improve their sleep and the sleep of their patients.

Sleep Mastery gives you everything you need from critical education, assessment tools, clinical decision trees and evidence-based interventions, to ensure you succeed in implementing a sleep improvement program in your clinic.

LEARN TO IMPROVE YOUR SLEEP, THE SMART WAY

Do you want to improve your sleep? or learn to educate your patients about better sleep? If you are not sleeping a consistent 7-8 hours a night, the wheels start to fall off; memory, concentration, fertility, performance, recovery, weight gain, immune support and mood all take a dive. But you already know this and have decided to act.

Sleep Mastery is divided into three logical steps: Educate | Assess | Act. I provide you with an evidence-based approach to address the common sleep problems seen in clinical situations.

In Sleep Mastery, I will guide you through a step-by-step process on how to develop a sleep improvement program for your clinic, providing you with extensive background information, critical assessment tools, researched answers, handouts and an extensive reference list.

A good night’s sleep awaits you and your clients!

HERE’S WHAT’S INCLUDED IN SLEEP MASTERY – 16 WEEKS OF ACCESS

Course participant’s experiences

“I would like to thank you for the opportunity to complete The Sleep Mastery course. I really enjoyed the course. I was pleasantly surprised. The content is what I loved about the course. I could not find any fault. I think it is very well organised. The content has great quality, with bibliographic references and with great ease as well as for learning and for clinical practice. I would like to congratulate you for the great work done.

I was pleasantly surprised by this course because it is a field that I do not normally practice. Now, I have curiosity about that. In my case, I have not yet been able to apply the learning contents to real patients because most of the patients I am treating in ICU are sedated. However, it has helped to me to realise the significance of sleep hygiene in my quality of life. I am applying things from the course in my lifestyle, and it has been effective.”

“The content involved in this course is extremely informative, as it clearly explains why sleep is important, whilst providing practical steps to better improve our sleep.

I am very excited to use the education and skills learnt from this course, to better help my clients in achieving their treatment goals”
