The non-drug musculoskeletal approach has been developed by a small group of doctors working at the London College of Osteopathic Medicine, London, UK and appears to produce relief of symptoms in 80–90% of patients. A small pilot study carried out at the London College of Osteopathic Medicine, using a specific form of manipulation, showed successful relief of symptoms in more that 80% of sufferers
[49]. This followed the empirical observation that a large proportion of RLS sufferers have a "
somatic dysfunction" at the lowermost level of the lumbar spine, and that a specific type of gentle manipulation could relieve their symptoms. One study has shown that RLS patients have increased rather than the normal decreased spinal cord excitability during sleep
[50] and this fits with the osteopathic concept of spinal facilitation postulated by Korr. Specific types of manipulation appear to reduce this excessive sensory input and relieve symptoms. This non drug treatment approach is free of the side effects associated with many of the drug treatments outlined above.
Dus een bezoekje aan een osteopaat zou in veel gevallen goed kunnen helpen.

Stretching the muscles in the legs can bring instant and permanent relief, lasting several days or longer. This does not work for everyone: sometimes relief is temporary, and discomfort can return within the span of a few seconds.
[41][42] One stretching method that works quite well is to stand up and bend over, make your hands reach for the ground (touch your toes if you can). Hold the position for 10–20 seconds. Repeat this 3 times.
