- Hi, folks I'm Bob Schrupp, Physical Therapist.
- Brad Heineck, Physical Therapist.
- Together we are the most famous physical therapists
on the internet.
- In our opinion, of course, Bob.
- Brad's opinion.
- That's right.
- It really means a lot to me.
Today, we're going to talk about restless leg syndrome.
A lot of, you know it's funny, Brad, I was just thinking,
I don't know of anybody who has RLS.
And then I'm talking to our camera man,
and he gets it once in a while.
- I was here listening, Bob.
I was not zoned out, so yeah.
- So, a lot of people use medication to help control it.
We're gonna talk about what it is too.
But if you don't wanna do that,
or it hasn't worked for you,
or maybe you wanna do it in addition to the medication,
- Sure
- We're gonna show you a solution here.
- Sure.
- Now, what is restless leg syndrome?
- That's a good question, Bob.
And as a therapist, I know, cause I've had people,
and it's very difficult to give them options.
And so this is a good option.
- It's generally a long-term disorder,
that causes a strong urge to move your legs.
And as our cameraman said, it happens often at night.
So that's like the worst time for it to happen.
It's an unpleasant feeling.
It often improves by moving them,
and that's what Tanner said.
He would actually,
he walks around at night 'cause you can't sleep.
- Right
- It can cause aching, tingling, crawling.
I've heard some people talk about.
- Yeah, kind of like those nerve symptoms,
you might feel if sciatic or something like that.
- Occasionally the arms might be affected, hello Tanner.
Not on the arms in there. Okay.
So the problem is it's very disturbing to sleep.
It's really gonna affect you,
and you're it's gonna cause you become irritable and cranky,
and we don't want that.
- Yeah that's yeah. Not desired Bob.
And so what are we gonna do, Bob?
So what is this just option? There's something here?
- Yeah. This is the brand new Bob Brad compression system.
I guess we should call it leg massages,
- Right
- And you know, I've tried many of these
before Brad, and they were okay,
but this one is really got good compression.
- Sure
- It squeezes the heck out of my legs.
So, and you can choose it. I mean,
you have three intensities here.
- So yeah It's just not all on you. Couldn't marry that.
- Now what also the modes has got three or four different
modes, but you can do just a foot.
You can do the calf and the foot,
and you can just do the side
- Sure.
- But you can't do all of them at once.
- So you Velcro those around. Bob has already done that.
And there's a pump here that pumps it up.
And the here's the,
the hoses that control the airways and as frightened as we
speak, it's...
- It's doing the same Brad.
I'm going to put up the intensity
seem that it can make you pop baby.
- So these are popular with people who are
athletic and whatnot for recovery, but also,
we've got two studies on restless leg syndrome using these.
- Right. Very, very successful.
They weren't a large, a large number of patients.
- right
- That's a mildly warning it is,
but there was actually some people that it
actually resolved their problem, actually took it away.
- Just in one night?
- I don't know the details on how long it took
but then I think, I'm assuming
it probably took a couple of weeks
- Sure
- But, so and, so I'm going to give you
the title of these studies.
- Okay
- So you can look them up yourself.
"Cisco sequential compression devices for treatment
of restless leg syndrome."
- Right.
- And the other one is called "pneumatic compression devices
are the effective therapy for restless leg syndrome:
a prospective randomized double-blinded
sham-controlled trail."
- Oh that one really got some weight to it.
- On that study, they worn it an hour before bed.
They had no side effects.
And again, really good results.
- Sure.
- So this one also has two settings of heat.
- Oh. So it...
- It doesn't get too warm.
- Right - I mean, it's adopted you feel it, but.
- So you probably don't have to worry about
burning your legs or fall asleep with it?
- No, I'll on put on right now.
But there, it's pumping away.
So, but you can put this on for like an hour before you
go to bed, while you're watching TV, relax, and then
see if it works to the magic and it takes away your RLS.
- So, you're going to put it out and maybe, but you could,
you don't have to sleep with them on all night then?
- No! No! No! Don't do that
- Oh okay.
- Yeah, I'd be pretty uncomfortable with gadgetry. Right.
- So again, works very well.
I also sell a study that works very well for people who get
sore legs, maybe have to stand all day.
You know? I mean, it's going to help release some pain.
- Yeah, when you feel like
your legs are maybe a little swollen
and it's just
- right. Right.
- And you know, those compression socks,
some people wear those to help with that.
This would be a good option at the end of the day.
- I don't know that if you had a swelling problem, per se,
like the deepest of heart failure or something like that,
you shouldn't be doing this right.
You always want to check with your doctor on those cases
- exactly - but otherwise for minor swelling that you get
just from being on your feet all day,
I have no problem with that.
- Sure.
- Yeah. This is nice that it plugs in to the wall.
- Yeah, all six together too.
- Sure.
- So you don't get lost. I mean,
I've seen some that had all a separate pieces and my gosh,
it took me forever to figure out how to put it on. I mean,
- (chuckles)
- But this was very user friendly.
- Sure.
- So, and they, well, I hate they always say this
because by the time I say this and they no longer have it,
but they have a $10 off coupon right now.
- Oh, otherwise they can go below the video
and there's a link to this.
- There should be a, yeah, some we could link to it.
- (chuckles)
- We're really organized here. Are we?
so anything else you want to say, Brad?
- Good luck. Good luck.
Yeah. Things are, it's an interesting option that, you know,
they're becoming more and more popular.
- Yeah.
- So very good. Enjoy the day.
