Hi Laura, if you type in foot wrap in the Search Box at the top of the page you will see a couple of threads on this subject, one of them being about a year old.

Information on the foot wrap is at restiffic.com. just ordered to give device a 30 day trial. I will report back on results, and if effective, describe device in detail.

Please go look at the original post by the RLS-UK Chair from 2 days ago. it is not just an easy ordering thing, it is the US only, prescription only, and they have no intention of selling it anywhere else right now, 350 bucks out of pocket, been on the market only since June 6th, and I spoke at length on the phone with the company, and it would be at least 3 yrs before they ever try for insurance or could even get it at all. for example the Relaxis pad has been out for over 2 yrs and they cannot get insurance coverage YET, and these people have only had these foot wraps on the market for 3 weeks. So, if you have 350 bucks to throw around and live in the US and can get a doctor to prescribe it.........................Thought-what do companies like this do with the returned items? A thing to check out. ;)
