Thank You for sharing this information.
What a great video!!!!!!! Thank you! (I know this comment doesn't add anything, but I was SO blown away by SO MUCH useful content, I had to say so.)
Unquestionably one of the best resources for physicians and physical therapists. Thank you bro.
Means a lot to hear that 💜
It is astonishing how understudied this topic is considering it affects everyone at least once in their life
I like your video very much because it was very nice to informative thanks
What a video 🤩thanks🙏

Manual resistance technique such as PIR is a little better than just stretching
Hey! Awesome video, however I would like some clarity! I sweat a lot. Should I drink the water with 3g of salt before my soccer game, or during? When should I consume the isotonic drink? Before/ or during? Thanks for the awesome video.
Best one on cramps
A swig of tonic water immediately stops my severe nocturnal cramps. I use one with sugar to avoid artificial sweeteners. It's the quinine. A druggist recommended this after quinine tablets became prescription and absurdly expensive.
Just make sure you don't overdo it. "In 2009, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) explicitly noted an unfavourable risk-benefit ratio for quinine when used for leg cramps" I use water with a bit of vinegar, salt, ginger, and cinnamon in it instead personally.
Yesss, taking sodium completely changed my long runs. I used to have severe cramp after 8km, after taking chewable sodium tabs I'd be fine until I finished a 15km!
I'm also a heavy sweater, which made it worse.
Great info. It all make sense now, when I’m in a low carb/keto diet I experience a lot of calf cramps at the soccer games due to loss of sodium and glycogen, that doesn’t happen when in regular diet with more carbs since you retain more sodium and glycogen.
Who regularly has cramps ?
I often have cramps when I start my training doing single leg bridge exercise
all the time
Maybe these tips will help !
I get foot cramps every day😢😢😢. Please help 🙏
I wish the channel Would address your comment. I know many cases like yours people who get cramps every day and they don't even train they don't even stretch they eat normally , don't have any bad habits for example they eat well they just don't do any sports. Yet they still get cramps every day. Me personally I rarely get them. But I still do even though I don't train or ever lift anything heavier than my phone. For me mostly magnesium helps only if I drink it regularly in that period of time there's no way I'll get cramps even after I do something to try and cause them they don't happen. in my own personal experience the way I see it /feel it inside my body, the magnesium gives my brain a temporary ability to control the cramps and stop them just by thinking the right way or activating the right parts of the brain in order to stop them. But that ability stops as soon as I stop taking magnesium. It just won't work...
I work for multiple sport teams and what I use to prevent cramping is an antacids containing calsium carbonate and magnesium carbonate. The also consume an isotonic drink with high sodium 3 hours before competing. My teams never experience any cramps during an entire match. P.S Im also a physio and really enjoy your excellent informative videos. Keep up the great work.
Great to hear those insights from the field! Thanks 🙏🏼
What products do you use?
It seems those heavily salted double cheeseburgers I have before the gym have a curative effect.
Info in this video is something completely different from what I learned before about cramping, prevention and treatment. 😮
During my college life as a Basketball player (varsity player) our water jag has additional salt during our game as to maintain our fluids and electrolytes balances so i think sodium is a big help for not having leg cramps
Is there literature to support that resistance training of the affected muscle groups reduces muscle cramps? I did not see any study quoted in the video
I used to have severe spasm/twitches when going to sleep or being tired. I also had cramps every night. It all reduced in frequency as started adding salt but it did not stop completely. When I added magnesium my cramps stopped completely. My leg spasm/twitches were still there every night but not until I reduced my sugar and carb intake to next to nothing did the leg spasms/twitches stop. For me, carbs was the cause of my uncontrolled twitches.

Pickle 🥒 flavored sunflower seeds? I been wondering abou that KT tape ?! Can you just use sports tape? And tape it the same way!
I have post exercise cramps in the calf muscles for hours, even sometime when I dont exercise, I cant even feel the cramping since they are so minor, I can just see them in the gastro, I also think that this is one of the factors that leads to my painful achilles tendinopathy in both legs. I usually eat lots of very expensive salts during the day, so this might not be my solution. I am drinking Ginger juice all day too. Maybe the Senf Tube is working :D
Why expensive salts?
@@sovietpigeon1364 I am convinced that these sea salts from Ireland and Utah that I have are better then cheap stonesalts that you can buy at the Aldi stores, but of course it is important that it is salt in any way. Salt is better than no salt :D
What are your thoughts on dead hanging with ac joint arthritis, rotator cuff issues and cervical stenosis?
