Pre & Post Dive Massage Therapy To Help With Cramps
Scuba diving is always an exciting adventure that brings fun, excitement, and unforgettable emotions. However, diving underwater to look at coral reefs or simply at the inhabitants of the aquatic environment can also have an impact on a person’s physical condition and, unfortunately, it will not always be favorable.
Muscles in the legs are composed of bundles of fibres that contract and expand alternately to produce movement. A cramp is an involuntary, sudden contraction of one of your muscles. Typically, it occurs in the calf. The duration of a cramp can range from seconds to minutes. The cramps can be mild or so intense that they wake you up from a deep sleep. The sudden and painful spasm of a leg muscle is known as a charley’s horse. According to legend, it was named after the baseball player Charlie Radbourn who suffered from cramps in the 1880s.
There are times when there is no obvious reason for a muscle cramp. Exercise can be a trigger, particularly after a prolonged exercise session or when you are in high heat. Dehydrated or tired muscles become irritated, and more prone to cramping. Dehydration or a lack of electrolytes, such as potassium or magnesium in your diet, can cause more cramping by keeping your muscles from relaxing fully. During pregnancy, the risk of cramping increases. This is due to circulatory changes as well as increased muscle stress from a growing stomach. Another factor is age, as cramps become more common in the middle and older years. The muscles of older people tire more easily and are more sensitive to fluid volume reductions in the body. The side effects of statins (used to treat high cholesterol) can cause cramps.
To feel good after diving, we advise you to pay attention to the massage before and after the dive. If you have been diving in Dubai, we advise you to pay attention to the Armonia SPA.
