🏃♀️🛌 Restless Leg Syndrome: Get Relief with These Easy Exercises!
Are you experiencing uncomfortable sensations, pain, or restlessness in your legs at night? You might be dealing with Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). This condition often causes discomfort when resting or sleeping, leading to poor sleep quality.
Physiotherapist Dr. Pawan Chauhan demonstrates three simple and effective exercises you can do to help manage your symptoms and get a better night's sleep!
3 Exercises for RLS Relief:
Ankle Pumps/Dorsiflexion: Lying on your back, pull your toes toward your body and hold for 10 seconds. Repeat 10-15 times.
Hamstring Stretch (with resistance band): Use a resistance band (or towel) to gently pull your straight leg towards your chest, holding the stretch for 10 seconds. Repeat 10-15 times.
Knee Wedge Position: Lie down with a wedge or pillow underneath your knees for comfortable rest, which can significantly reduce restlessness.
❓ Did you know? RLS can sometimes be linked to deficiencies like Iron, Thyroid issues, or Diabetes. Consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan!
Perform these exercises 10-15 repetitions each to improve your comfort and sleep!
