Look what I found!
Charley horse prevention: A possible preventative measure, if you feel leg cramps coming on, based on the principles of acupressure, is to grasp the indentation on your upper lip between thumb and forefinger and apply pressure for about 30 seconds. Sometimes if you do this quickly enough you can prevent the cramp from ever really taking hold.
I get very bad Charley Horses when I'm exercising - in my thighs, calves & feet. I hate having to stop during a class just to stretch out, so I usually just continue and work through the pain.
But if I could get away with just grabbing my upper lip - sign me up! I don't know much about accupressure or accupuncture, but it's been around for hundreds of years. They must know something!
I posted this on the Board and got some great responses! I can't wait to try this out!
