Hello! Advices to reduce cramp in the legs-
1.Take plenty of water regulary.
2.Do calf and hamstring stretches for 20 sec hold 3 reps.
3.Often move your ankle up and down during prolonged sitting as it prevents venous stasis (blood pooling) as it prevents cramps.
Consult Physio for streching advices.

Hi...., Most cases of leg cramps can be treated with exercises... To reduce your risk of getting leg cramps in the future, you should do exercises to stretch the affected muscles three times a day...
If you have leg pain that persists after an episode of cramping, an over-the-counter painkiller, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen may help reduce the pain....
