Muscle Cramp

A cramp is an involuntary and forcibly contracted muscle that does not relax. Cramps can affect any muscle under your voluntary control (skeletal muscle). Muscles that span two joints are most prone to cramping. Cramps can involve part or all of a muscle, or several muscles in a group.

The most commonly affected muscle groups are:

  • Back of lower leg/calf (gastrocnemius)
  • Back of thigh (hamstrings)
  • Front of thigh (quadriceps)

Cramps in the feet, hands, arms, abdomen, and along the rib cage are also very common.

Although the exact cause of muscle cramps is unknown (idiopathic), some researchers believe inadequate stretching and muscle fatigue leads to abnormalities in mechanisms that control muscle contraction. Other factors may also be involved, including poor conditioning, exercising or working in intense heat, dehydration and depletion of salt and minerals (electrolytes).

Treatment

Cramps usually go away on their own without seeing a doctor.

  • Stop doing whatever activity triggered the cramp.
  • Gently stretch and massage the cramping muscle, holding it in stretched position until the cramp stops.
  • Apply heat to tense/tight muscles, or cold to sore/tender muscles.

Prevention

To avoid future cramps, work toward better overall fitness. Do regular flexibility exercises before and after you work out to stretch muscle groups most prone to cramping.

Main Functions of Ares Kinesiology Tape

  • Relieves pain and muscle fatigue
  • Improves circulation and lymphatic flow via superficial activation while reducing inflammation
  • Corrects muscle function through reduction of muscle tension and strengthening of the weakened muscle
  • Corrects misalignment of joints
  • Returns body to homeostasis.
  • Works with the body to allow and increase normal range of motion
  • May normalize length/tension ratios to create optimal force
  • Assist and improve tissue recovery
  • Restores epidermal tissue homeostasis
  • Decrease inflammation and pressure on mechanical recept
