Continue your professional development with our Understanding Restless Leg Syndrome course.
According to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, it is thought that between 5-10% of adults in the UK, US and Europe suffer from restless leg syndrome, and, sadly, it is not just adults. Symptoms of this condition can vary from being mildly irritating to completely debilitating. It is a problem that is not well understood and often simply not spoken about. This workshop aims to raise awareness of this condition.
As practitioners, we often see ‘restless legs’ listed as a condition on our intake questionnaires, but it is almost never the main reason a client is seeking help and can therefore be easily overlooked. If explored, however, a client will often explain that they thought it was just some quirk that they alone experienced, or that they didn’t think there was anything that might help.
In reality, there is potentially a lot we can do, and the symptom alone may provide clues to better understand underlying factors that may link back to the gut, immune system, s*x hormone balance, and the HPA axis.
This course will take a deep dive into the current literature and explore what is understood about restless legs syndrome: the underlying factors that might predispose a person to this condition, factors that might influence its severity, and strategies we can use to support clients in practice.
