Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)
What is Restless Legs Syndrome?
Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a neurological condition characterized by an uncontrollable urge to move the legs. It often disrupts sleep and relaxation, particularly in the evening or at night, leading to difficulty falling asleep and frequent awakenings.
Symptoms
- Persistent urge to move the legs
- Tingling, aching or burning sensations
- Cramps, often severe at night
- Symptoms predominantly occurring at rest and during the evening or night
- Sleep disturbances
- Daytime fatigue and irritability
Condition overview
RLS is a chronic condition. Without intervention, symptoms tend to worsen and can significantly disrupt sleep quality, resulting in daytime tiredness and reduced quality of life. Symptoms typically intensify during periods of rest, especially at night, creating a cycle of poor sleep and escalating symptoms.
Causes
RLS is often linked to nervous system and circulatory disturbances. Impaired blood flow is a significant contributing factor. Other influences include:
- Iron deficiency
- Genetic predisposition
- Underlying health conditions such as diabetes or kidney disease
Reduced vascular elasticity and impaired circulation disrupt oxygen and nutrient supply as well as waste removal, contributing to RLS symptoms.
Why Quadrivas Therapy is effective for Restless Legs
Quadrivas Therapy addresses RLS by targeting its underlying cause — impaired circulation. The therapy uses deep manual techniques to mobilise and stimulate blood vessels and surrounding tissues.
These techniques:
- Promote vascular function
- Support endothelial (blood vessel lining) health
- Enhance overall circulation
By improving vascular health, tissue function is restored naturally and circulation returns to optimal levels.
Outcomes and benefits of Quadrivas Therapy for RLS
Clients often experience significant reduction or elimination of symptoms such as restless legs and cramps. Benefits include:
- Improved rest and quality sleep
- Reduced pain and fatigue
- Relief from chronic symptoms
- Enhanced vascular health
- Natural tissue recovery
- Prevention of more serious complications such as lymphoedema, lipedema, or varicose veins
Quadrivas Therapy focuses on resolving the root cause of symptoms through improved circulation, offering a natural and effective approach to support the body’s self-healing.
