...you already know first-hand how painful and debilitating they are.
There are times that cramps are severe enough that it might hinder you from doing some things.
For instance, it might stop you from finishing your physical activity or might hinder you from winning a competition or achieving your desired performance level.
But it gets worse… While some cramps ease on their own, others are longer-lasting.
A simple palpate (touch) on the parts that have been affected by the muscle cramping, can be painful and hard to bear. And excessively severe muscle cramps may even result in muscle tears, particularly if attempting overly aggressive stretching or manipulation to relieve the cramp.
Yikes! Pretty concerning, isn’t it?
But what if cramps hit you at night? That’s a whole lot of different dilemmas.
So what causes a muscle cramp? What are the things you can do to reduce muscle cramps? And how can you prevent yourself from experiencing such pain?
