Spasming Muscles

So talking to my coach about spasming muscles. If you have a muscle that keeps acting up first thing to rule out is water and electrolytes. Make sure you aren't dehydrated or depleted as often these situation lead to spasms and cramping. If you still are having persistent problems with spasms its time to look at the location of the spasm - usually necessitating foam rolling of the area and the surrounding area. This can often be the case if the spasming worsens with activity because it could caused by the muscle becoming "swoll" and clamping down on a nerve or blood vessel. Usually with a nerve the sensation will shoot down the extremity following the path of the nerve, though if it is a offshoot nerve it will still be localized. if the muscle is cutting off the blood supply to the area it creates a depleted state meaning that the area thinks you are dehydrated/depleted and is starving for nutrients. The best way to correct these kinds of situations is through foam rolling, massage and stretching, and usually you have to be diligent about this, it's not often a one time cure all. Of course, as always, maintain your fluid intake and eat clean! ;)
