I've heard of that treatment before, so I won't send you to the rubber room. It didn't work for me, though.
What has worked for me, reasonably well:
A soft latex (natural latex, not synthetic) mattress,
An hour a day of various physical therapy inspired exercises working on hamstring flexibility, quadricep flexibility, and core strength ...I suspect that my "RLS" may be related to spinal disk injuries that give me sciatica. The more my sciatica acts up, the worse my "RLS" seems to be,
And, when all else fails, there is the pharmacological approach: Gapabentin and ibuprofen work wonders. I have not tried medical marijuana, but I'd be it would help.
Since I got the soft latex mattress, I've hardly needed any Gabapentin or ibuprofen.
Whatever works. RLS can drive you crazy.
