Shoulder surgery:
How to sleep better before the procedure, while wearing the brace, and during the recovery period

Before
surgery
Ideally, before shoulder surgery, you should prioritize rest and comfort to minimize joint and muscle strain.
The Findings
At night, we pay for what we do during the day.
Our Tips
- As much as possible, avoid being too active during the two weeks leading up to your surgery.
- Limit physical and sports activities that cause pain in your shoulder.
At night
What Shooldy Can Offer You
At night, Shooldy Confort helps keep your shoulder comfortable when you sleep on your back or on the side opposite the affected shoulder.
- Shooldy Confort , lying on the side opposite the affected shoulder, helps support the arm and prevent it from tilting forward.
- Lying on your back, use Shooldy Confort with a pillow to keep your elbow at shoulder level or slightly above it, and a second pillow to control the rotation of your arm. To make yourself more comfortable, tilt the head of your bed to help you relax more fully.
The Day
What Shooldy Can Offer You
When sitting, Shooldy Confort helps reduce the strain caused by the weight of the arm—due to gravity—on the shoulder and neck area.
- While sitting on your couch, place Shooldy Confort under your arm and forearm to support your entire upper limb and help relax your shoulder and neck area.
- You can apply heat to the neck area and cold to the shoulder, using products designed for this purpose and following the instructions for use.
After surgery
with a splint
Warning
Depending on your procedure, your surgeon will determine the type of brace you should wear and how long you will need to keep the area immobilized.
It is essential to follow these instructions carefully to promote proper healing and functional recovery. Some splints must be worn 24 hours a day, including at night, to keep the arm in the position specified by the surgeon.
Ask your surgeon when you can remove your splint.
The Findings
In the days immediately following surgery, it is often impossible to sleep flat on your back.
Our Tips
- At first, try to sit in a semi-upright position with your brace—or even sit up a little straighter—to make yourself more comfortable.
- To prevent yourself from sliding down during the night, you can raise the feet of the bed slightly.
- When your shoulder wakes you up during the night, take a moment to sit on the edge of the bed. Breathe calmly and let the tension subside. Often, the discomfort will ease within one or two minutes. You can then settle back into a comfortable position.
At night
What Shooldy Can Offer You
Thanks to its size, Shooldy Confort can help you maintain a more comfortable position when you raise the head of your bed to a semi-sitting position.
- Place Shooldy Confort, folded in half, behind your back, then add softer traditional pillows on top to achieve a level of support that suits your comfort.
The Day
What Shooldy Can Offer You
When seated, Shooldy Confort helps reduce the strain caused by the weight of the brace on the other shoulder and the neck area.
- While sitting on your couch, place Shooldy Confort to support your arm with the sling in order to reduce strain caused by the weight of your arm and the sling, particularly on your neck. Be sure to follow your surgeon’s instructions carefully.
- You can apply heat to the neck area and cold to the shoulder, using products designed for this purpose and following the instructions for use.
- In some cases, your surgeon may allow you to remove the splint while resting, such as when you are sitting on the couch. Only with your surgeon’s approval should you place Shooldy Confort under your arm and forearm to support the weight of your limb and help you get into a more comfortable position.
- Important: Use Shooldy Confort without a brace only if your surgeon has specifically authorized it.
When removing
the splint
Every surgery is different. It is therefore essential to follow your surgeon’s instructions carefully. Your surgeon will determine how long you need to wear the splint, and you must follow this recommendation even if it causes some discomfort.
The Findings
Even though having the splint removed is often a relief, it does provide a sense of security. It often takes a little time to get back to sleeping well after it’s removed.
Our Tips
- Depending on your comfort level, you can gradually lower the head of your bed.
