BOKHEE LEE

At night, the legs turn itchy and strangely uneasy. Lie still and it worsens; move them, and for a moment it eases. The tests come back clean - nothing wrong - and still the symptoms go on. This book doesn't treat restless legs syndrome as a problem of the nerves or the brain alone. It reads the condition across the whole connected body - pelvis, hip, buttock, thigh, calf, and sole - and takes on the questions that usually go unanswered: why the symptoms sharpen at night, why walking helps, why sitting for hours is so hard to bear.
It works through the muscles tied to restless legs - the iliopsoas, piriformis, gluteus maximus and minimus, adductors, hamstrings, gastrocnemius, and soleus - and lays out self-care you can do for yourself, at home. This isn't a book that explains a disease. It's a book for understanding why your body keeps sending these signals, and for bringing its movement and balance back.
