Yes, muscle cramps are very painful contractions that can occur at any time - especially during the night, unexpectedly, if you have done a good physical workout that day - we know that.

They are more common in athletes, elderly people, those who spend a lot of time standing, and those who practically do not drink any water. The good news? That from SIZEN, with our pressotherapy systems, we can become an effective ally to prevent and relieve your problem.

In this article, we explain how it works and why more and more people use it as part of their wellness routine.

What causes muscle cramps?

While it is true that muscle cramps can be due to various factors - and, as we always say, if they are recurrent and painful it is best to consult a specialist - the main reasons are dehydration, lack of minerals, muscle fatigue, and poor blood circulation.

We often talk about poor blood circulation referring to a sedentary lifestyle, one of the main causes of cardiovascular diseases of our time. When blood flow is insufficient, muscles do not receive the oxygen or nutrients they need, which can trigger these spasms that we all know are extremely painful.

Benefits of pressotherapy to relieve cramps

Pressotherapy consists of applying air pressure through boots or cuffs that perform a sequential massage from the feet upwards. This process has several physiological effects that help reduce and prevent cramps:

• Improvement of blood and lymphatic circulation: by promoting venous return, tissues receive more oxygen and nutrients.

• Reduction of muscle fatigue: accelerates the elimination of lactic acid, one of the substances associated with muscle pain and post-exercise cramps.

• Stimulates muscle relaxation: the rhythmic massage helps relieve tension and spasms.

Pressotherapy and prevention of cramps in athletes

Those who regularly practice sports often experience muscle cramps due to accumulated fatigue and lack of recovery. In this context, pressotherapy for athletes has become popular as a recovery method after training.

Using pressotherapy after exercise can:

• Accelerate muscle regeneration.
• Prevent the appearance of night cramps.
• Improve performance thanks to better physical preparation of the muscular system.
