Relief for Leg Cramps
A simple stretching technique to stop leg cramps quickly once they begin. This method works by counteracting the muscle contraction that causes the cramp.
Instructions
- 1When a cramp begins in your leg, immediately straighten your leg out in front of you
- 2Push your heel out as far as possible, extending it away from your body
- 3Pull your toes up toward your shin as far as possible, creating a strong stretch in your calf muscle
- 4Maintain this position with heel stretched out and toes pulled up until the cramp subsides, typically 15-30 seconds
