What Is The Cause Of Your Muscle Cramp?

👉 Muscle cramps, particularly in the legs, are involuntary muscle contractions that can be caused by factors such as dehydration, muscle fatigue, electrolyte imbalances, nerve compression, and poor blood circulation.

👉 Massage therapy is beneficial for those who suffer from muscle cramps as it helps relax and loosen tense muscles, improves blood flow, reduces muscle spasms, and promotes the release of endorphins, natural pain-relieving chemicals in the body.

👉 Combining massage therapy with other self-care practices like staying hydrated, maintaining a balanced diet, and engaging in regular stretching and exercise can optimize muscle health and help prevent future cramping episodes.

Muscle cramps, including cramps in the legs, are involuntary contractions or spasms that occur in the muscles. They can be caused by various factors such as dehydration, muscle fatigue, electrolyte imbalances (such as low potassium or calcium levels), nerve compression, and poor blood circulation. Cramps in the legs are particularly common, often affecting the calf muscles or muscles in the feet and thighs. These cramps can occur during physical activity or at rest, and they may range from mild discomfort to intense pain.

Massage therapy can be beneficial for individuals who suffer from muscle cramps. Through the application of manual pressure, kneading, and stretching techniques, massage helps relax and loosen tense muscles, improving blood flow and reducing muscle spasms. Massage therapy can also relieve muscle tension and promote the release of endorphins, natural pain-relieving chemicals in the body. Additionally, it can help address underlying factors that contribute to cramps, such as muscle tightness and trigger points. Regular massage sessions may help prevent future cramping episodes and improve overall muscle health.

Only happens when I’m like sleeping in the middle of the night

[Something]

I was just stretching then the screaming comes in

[sunmoon-]

I'm a 62 year old runner and I have tried everything in terms of folk remedies. In my case it's definitely overuse or increase in training. I get them one or two days after the exertion which I find strange. Stretching and hydration helps somewhat, and they usually occur in the middle of the night, which I love ;)

First I was like fuck this hurt then it went to me jumping around with an agonizing pain

[slainer]

I just got home from school mentally and physically exhausted, went to sleep after eating and washing the dishes woke up because of the extremely painfull muscle cramps, rarely happens when I sleep afternoon but never during night

[wisdomteller]

I always have leg cramp. Specifically LEFT LEG. It is always severe and the muscle is hard like a ball, I shouted just a while ago to wake up my husband and help me. He have to push my big toe to me so that the muscle will stretch and my calf will go back or stretch out. And will hurt for days. I hate leg cramps

[downtowngirltanu]

I wasn't sleeping whole night because of this pain thank you so much it gave so much relief

[Peppermint]

Circulatory or nervous system problem. Drink 1 glass of water every hour to keep these cramps away, stretch the muscle when pain happens

[kathy_dev]

i got that yesterday, but now it's gone. everytime i get cramps i use efficascent oil

[smitxp]

I started getting these after starting creatine supplement. After stopping the creatine, the cramps went away.

It’s been years since my last leg cramp but I just got one recently from stretching my leg as I was lying down to go to sleep. The muscle was so hard and pretty painful that trying to massage it out didn’t do anything. And since my foot always extends kinda like a ballerina style I remembered that if I step on my toes and press down slowly until my heel touches the floor, the muscle loosens up pretty much instantaneously. It’s pretty wild as I always have to be careful how I stretch my legs to make sure they don’t cramp up like that. I guess this video is much the opposite for what I need to do lol.

Its very easy technique for curing it easily:
1. Pull your fingers upwards on your feet or arms
2. Just wait for 3 minutes straight to cure it and keep pulling it until 3 minutes
3. If it is done, put your feet/arm to the soft area and sit for a minute to finally cure it.

[ayushh..]

it happened to me in the middle of river where i was swimming... and started drowning slowly unable to use my leg... but managed to make it to the bank of the river...
my whole leg 🦵 looks like a heavy bag due to swelling... it took 15-16 days to get properly cured...

[Ninjaultimatedragon]

Man it hurts as much as the springlock failure 😭

[MinhanNguyen]

This happened to me earlier at work today while I was with a customer so I tried playing it off like I was tying my shoe 😂

[Sheenifier]

I got a cramp once on the underside of my jaw near my throat. I didnt even know it was possible!

[nutanpatel]

Used to have electrolyte imbalance dehydration and bad footwear.

[alexmurphy]

I had such a bad one 3 days ago and i could not move my ankles. Its been 3 days and my ankle my lower muscles under my calf hurt so bad

[andymat]

What about hamstrings, what about a depletion of electrolytes, what about lactic acid buildup?

[yolandaloza]

Your calf’s are the second heart. She didn’t mention that. Exercise them everyday even when your sitting
