New self-help group in Templin: Together against restless legs!

Something new is happening in Templin: The Workers' Welfare Association (AWO) has founded a self-help group for people with restless legs syndrome. This syndrome, also known as “restless leg syndrome,” can have a significant impact on the lives of those affected. The symptoms usually occur in the evening and are manifested by unpleasant sensations in the legs such as tingling, cramping, pulling and twitching. This makes it difficult for many people to truly relax and fall asleep.

The head of the regional contact, information and advice center for self-help (REKIS Uckermark),Sieglinde Schultze, aims to create a place for exchange in this group. “We want to discuss experiences, medications and new healing methods,” says Schultze. Joint ventures are also planned, with specialist experts invited to provide members with useful information.

Mit einer hervorragenden Bewertung von 94% auf Rotten Tomatoes und positiven Stimmen von Kritikern, zeigt „Restless“ eindrucksvoll, wie ähnlichen Themen im Kunstformat begegnet wird.

Whether it's a self-help group or a film, the topic of unrest and how to cope with it runs through society. One could say that there is a certain feeling for such topics in the air. The new group in Templin is a step towards giving people who suffer from restless leg syndrome a space in which they can talk openly about their experiences and find support.

Committed people and those affected are warmly invited to share their stories and emotions and perhaps gain new insights about themselves and their health. Life with restless legs syndrome should not be managed alone, and the AWO creates an important contact point for this.
