A foot relief pad for alleviating the symptoms of restless leg syndrome, restless arms, and foot and leg cramps through the application of pressure to a group of muscles extending along an inner side of a foot and across a sole of the foot, comprising:

• a flexible cloth wrapping member that includes a foot engaging portion and a foot securing portion with said foot engaging portion disposed beneath said sole of said foot and said foot securing portion disposed around an upper side of said foot;
• a continuous outer surface extending along said foot engaging portion and said foot securing portion;
• a continuous inner surface extending along said foot engaging portion and said foot securing portion and which is opposite of said continuous outer surface;
• said foot engaging portion including a cavity;
• a layered pressure application pad encased within said cavity and disposed in abutting relationship to said sole of said foot in order to apply pressure to the group of muscles extending along the inner side of said foot and across the sole of said foot;
• and,
• securement means for securing said foot securing portion to said foot engaging portion so that said foot engaging portion is positioned beneath and contiguous to said sole of said foot and said foot securing portion is wrapped around said upper side of said foot and then secured to said foot engaging portion whereupon said layered pressure application pad is located in abutting relationship to said inner side of said foot and to said sole of said foot so that pressure can be applied by said pressure application pad to said inner side of said foot and said sole of said foot for alleviating of the symptoms of restless leg syndrome, restless arms, and foot and leg cramps.

A device for alleviating the symptoms of restless leg syndrome, restless arms, and foot and leg cramps by the application of pressure against the hallucis brevis muscle and the abductor hallucis muscles of a foot, comprising:

• a supporting portion;
• a pressing portion secured to said supporting portion;
• said supporting portion supporting said pressing portion in an operative position against said foot;
• and,
• said pressing portion being pressed against said flexor hallucis brevis muscle and said abductor hallucis muscles of said foot for relieving the symptoms of restless leg syndrome, restless arms, and foot and leg cramps.

A method to alleviate the symptoms of restless leg syndrome, restless arms, and foot and leg cramps, comprising the steps of:

• providing a supporting portion;
• providing a pressing portion that is attached to said supporting portion;
• placing said supporting portion on a foot of an individual;
• and,
• aligning said pressing portion immediately adjacent to the hallucis brevis muscle of said foot and the abductor hallucis muscles of said foot so that said pressing portion can press against said hallucis brevis muscle and said abductor hallucis muscles in order to alleviate the symptoms of restless leg syndrome, restless arms, and foot and leg cramps.

A device for applying pressure to specific areas of a foot of an individual, the device comprising:

• a flexible wrap that includes an outer surface and a foot securing portion adjoined to a foot engaging portion, said foot engaging portion including a cavity;
• a pressure application pad contained within said cavity;
• said foot engaging portion being connectable to said foot securing portion to position said foot engaging portion beneath and contiguous to the sole of the foot while said foot securing portion is wrapped around an upper side of the foot and then secured to the foot engaging portion to place said pressure application pad in an abutting relationship to an inner side of the foot and to the sole of the foot and to apply pressure to the inner side of the foot and to the sole of the foot;
• said pressure application pad having a leg and a crosspiece, said leg extending transversely along the sole of the foot, said crosspiece extending about perpendicularly from the leg to extend along the inner side of the foot;
• said leg and said crosspiece positioned to abut and apply pressure directed to the flexor hallucis brevis muscle and the abductor hallucis muscle, said crosspiece positioned to apply pressure to the inner side of the foot;
• and
• said leg being positioned to abut and apply pressure directed to the flexor hallucis brevis muscle and the abductor hallucis muscle at the bottom of the foot.

A pressure application pad for providing selective and adjustable pressure to the sole of a foot comprising:

• a leg and a crosspiece, said leg extending transversely along the sole of the foot, said crosspiece extending about perpendicularly from the leg to extend along the sole of the foot;
• said leg and said crosspiece positioned to abut and apply pressure directed to the flexor hallucis brevis muscle and the abductor hallucis muscle, said crosspiece positioned to apply pressure to the inner side of the foot;
• and
• said leg being positioned to abut and apply pressure directed to the flexor hallucis brevis muscle and the abductor hallucis muscle at the bottom of the foot.

A multi-layered pressure application pad for providing selective and adjustable pressure to the sole of a foot comprising:

• a first layer that is a base pad, said base pad being shaped to be positioned on and extend transversely along the sole of the foot when said pressure application pad is mounted on and secured to the foot;
• a second layer superposed on said first layer to create an upraised pad portion, said upraised pad portion having a leg and a crosspiece, said leg extending along the base pad to extend transversely along the sole of the foot, said crosspiece extending about perpendicularly from the leg along the base pad to extend along the sole of the foot;
• said upraised pad portion positioned to abut and apply pressure directed to the flexor hallucis brevis muscle and the abductor hallucis muscle, said crosspiece positioned to apply pressure to the inner side of the foot;
• and
• said leg of said upraised pad portion positioned to abut and apply pressure directed to the flexor hallucis brevis muscle and the abductor hallucis muscle at the bottom of the foot.
