Restless Leg Syndrome Routine

Having restless legs has become a term but can be due to various reasons and conditions. It may be beneficial to review your habits regarding daily movement, diet/nutrition intake to understand different reasons why the condition occurs specifically for you. And thus, how you could prevent it. Different measures may be needed to address the real causes. The cupping program focuses on providing immediate relief and can contribute to getting long-term help with your restless legs. If you experience tension and swelling in your legs while feeling the urge to move them, you may benefit from looking at our edema program, which may indicate that your lymphatic system needs support. Reflect on; when do your legs feel the urge to move? When you are still and starting to relax? When you are about to sleep? Do you wake up during the night feeling uncomfortable in your legs? What are your routines before bedtime? Various reasons may be behind why your legs feel the urge to move; stress, lack of movement, too much repetitive movement, and anxiety for example.

The cupping program can be done at any time during the evening, even in bed. Be prepared that it may take some time. Have the cups nearby if you wake up during the night, so you can use them to find calmness. If you have more static cups, you can advantageously place them in multiple places simultaneously on the suggested areas. Other evening routines that may be beneficial for restless legs; relaxing teas, diureticteas, lying with legs slightly elevated, a conscious relaxation evening practice (such as our meditation program, breathing exercises, doing a body scan, taking a warm bath or foot bath with essential oils and salt.)
