10 Tips to Help Relax Restless Leg Syndrome

6. Wrapping the Feet

You can probably pick up one of those ace bandage wraps at any convenience or big-box store near you for a couple of bucks. It has been shown that wrapping your feet and ankles is actually putting pressure on specific points of the body that will stop those messages from tingling your legs all night long. Your brain has to send signals to your nerves, which then sends them to your muscles. You can limit this process in your lower legs by wrapping up your feet nice and snuggly.

7. Get a Massage

It’s famously known throughout the world of competitive sports that a massage before a match or a bout is the biggest no-no in the genre. Why is this the case? It’s because a massage totally relaxes the muscles and basically puts them to sleep, which is nothing an athlete would want when they need their muscles to fully function. For people with RLS, however, they don’t want those over-active muscles. Therefore, a massage may really help in this regard.
