Ants in your pants.... or on your leg?

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), is known as a kind of neurological disease that is prevalent but easy to be ignored. Studies* have demonstrated that massage therapy can effectively reduce the symptoms of patients with RLS and improve their quality of life.

Traditional massage techniques including tui na, acupressure, and myofascial releases are used, and are beneficial to the well-being of patients both physically and mentally. On one hand, massage can alleviate the tension in the skin and muscles, promoting blood circulation and enhancing the immune system. On the other hand, massage can prompt the releases of dopamine inside the human body, making the patient feel pleased and relaxed. Although massage therapy does not treat RLS directly, plenty of research has demonstrated that massage is effective in reducing the symptoms associated with RLS. 

When is your next massage?
