MOMENTARY RELIEF PART 2: EVEN MORE STRETCHES FOR MY RESTLESS LEGS
Let’s start by saying restless legs syndrome (RLS) is no fun. The irritating and incessant sensations beneath the surface, leading to an irritating and incessant need to move, is tiresome. It impacts sleep and restricts activities where being confined or staying still is essential.
But on the upside, if you’re fit and well enough RLS is a good excuse to exercise more and increase mobility and flexibility with regular stretching.
What are benefits to regular stretching?
Stretching is a great tool to use in conjunction with strengthening because it helps to lengthen out muscles that have become short and tight. This increases flexibility to allow a good range of motion in the joints.
There are many important benefits to regular stretching, including:
- Reduced pain and stiffness
- Greater range of motion
- Improved muscle function
- Reduced risk of injury
