Have you ever been told that you kick a lot during the night? Or perhaps your spouse does. This could be due to Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). The nerve receptors in the bottom of your feet are hyper-sensitive, and this disorder is part of the nervous system that causes involuntary movement of the legs. RLS usually interferes with sleep and is also considered a sleep disorder. People with chronic diseases like Parkinson’s, diabetes, and peripheral neuropathy often experience RLS. Sleep is important, even more rest is important. So wear at least one Voxxlife sock to bed to calm the nerve receptors.

Tips for Fall Prevention
November is Falls Prevention month. Falls are a real concern for older adults and can lead to injuries. The following tips can reduce your risk: • Get regular exercise and physical activity. • Have your medications reviewed by a physician or pharmacist as some medication combinations can cause dizziness, leading to falling. • Have your vision and hearing checked regularly. Poor vision and hearing are linked to increased falls. • Fall-proof your home by removing tripping hazards, using nightlights, and keeping items within reach. A Fall Risk Assessment at Robynne Smith Physiotherapy can help you stay steadier on your feet and reduce your risk of falling.
