How to quickly relieve calf cramps?

Some people have had the experience of being woken up by sudden calf cramps while sleeping at night. I believe that there are quite a few people who have had this experience. The reason for calf cramps is that you do not protect your calves well in daily life, or it is caused by some bad living habits. So how can you quickly relieve calf cramps?

1. When cramps occur, try to straighten the cramping leg as much as possible, not downward, but with all five toes pointing upward. Then lean forward and use both hands to stretch the big toe of the cramping foot. Do not bend your legs, otherwise it will not be effective. If you keep pulling like this for a minute or two, the cramping symptoms will disappear.

2. When your legs cramp, you can relieve it by jumping on one foot. My leg cramped, and I endured the pain, stood on the ground with the cramped leg, bent the other leg, and then lifted the heel up, pulling myself up with it. But remember, you must hold on to something to avoid falling.

3. When your leg cramps, the people around you can quickly get a hot towel and then use it to apply the hot towel to the calf of the cramping leg. Remember, when applying the mask, try to accompany it with massage, which is a very effective method to straighten cramps.

4. When someone around you has cramps, remember to sit opposite the person who has cramps, put your hands together, place the sole of your foot against the other person's cramping leg, and then press hard on the other person's toes with your foot. Keep the other person's cramped leg straight, which will quickly relieve the cramp.

5. When your legs cramp, remember not to bend your legs or circle them, otherwise it will make the cramped area more painful. The best way is to stretch the muscles quickly to bring the strained tendons back to their original positions, and the pain will naturally stop.
