Summary: In this book, the physiotherapist, sleep specialist or general health-care provider finds a detailed review about what can be done to handle Restless Legs Syndrome and Periodic Leg Movements in terms of scientifically proven exercise and physical interventions in physiotherapy daily practice. For those new to the field, there�s a basic overview of sleep and it�s disorders, followed by chapters about the Restless Legs Syndrome and its companion disorder, the Periodic Leg Movements. Special patients force us to reinvent and think again the ways we deal with disorders. In this book, the health-ca.
