9. Apply Heat
Another thing you can do to try and help relieve your cramps is to apply heat to the affected muscle because this will often help them to relax. This is quite easy to do and all that you will need is a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel or similar, and even a hot towel on its own might do the job.
Have a look in a nearby pharmacy and they may sell heating pads that are specially made for the job. Another option is to take a warm bath until the affected muscle relaxes. Creams like Counterpain and similar may also be able to help.
