How it works
Compression reduces venous pooling and lower limb oedema, which may increase sensorimotor threshold. Pneumatic compression also stimulates A-fibre nerves that can inhibit dysaesthetic sensations.
Most beneficial if RLS is associated with venous disease. Pneumatic devices are more effective but expensive and less portable.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
