Together with his wife, the physician Dr. Petra Bracht, he has developed a revolutionary new form of pain treatment: With the so-called \"Osteopressur\", in which certain points on your body are pressed, and special stretching exercises, pain can be stopped completely without medication or surgical intervention. It is particularly important that this pain treatment gives you the opportunity to help yourself against your pain in a self-determined way.

Causes of Leg Cramps<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The triggers of night cramps are many and varied, and it is hard to find specific medical causes. In our experience, however, there is a reason that people suffer from this type of cramping \u2013 <strong>shortened and unyielding leg muscles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>2.1 Muscular Shortening<\/h3>\n<p>We believe that muscular shortening and tangled fasciae (the connective tissue around the muscle) are responsible for many common pain conditions, including leg cramps.<\/p>\n<p>Lack of exercise and sitting a lot do calves no favors. <strong>Calves need to move and be stretched to maintain its vitality and avoid overstress<\/strong>. Long periods sitting risk forcing your upper and lower leg to permanently form a 90-degree angle. The fascia and muscle fibers adapt to this one-sided (non-)movement pattern, becoming brittle and unyielding, and unnaturally high tension is created to the detriment of your health.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1989097404\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\" style=\"background-color:rgb(248, 248, 248);\" >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udccc How does your sleeping position affect leg cramping?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cramps in your sleep can be prevented. If you sleep on your side and bend your legs, you stay in a shortened position as you do when sitting, and may intensify the symptoms. However, if you sleep on your back with your legs stretched out, you can train your calves to lengthen and reduce the tendency to cramp.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1989097404 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 15px 15px 15px 15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1747679919\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h3>2.2 Stress<\/h3>\n<p>Monotonous movement plus daily worries and hardships can present your calves with a biomechanical problem.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>If you are under high pressure in your job, stress hormones like cortisol or adrenaline put the muscles permanently into fight mode.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>If mental tension persists, nerve impulses can no longer be targeted to the muscle.

Treatment of Leg Cramps\" ><a name=\"link3\"><\/a><\/span>\n<h2>3. Treatment of Leg Cramps<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You can ensure that your calves cramp less often and less severely. Here are some anti-spasm exercises to use for acute pain and effective prevention. The goal is healing and improved health instead of just suppression of pain.<\/p>\n<h3>3.1 Relaxing Calf Muscles \u2014 The Liebscher & Bracht Approach to Health<\/h3>\n<h4>Muscle-Fasciae Stretches<\/h4>\n<p>The majority of cramping sensations originate in a stressed and shortened muscle. Relaxing the muscles and fasciae below the knees and stretching the shins and calves is the aim of our stretching exercises.<\/p>\n<p>Stretching calves is the most important way to treat this condition.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1752713213\" class=\"col medium-8 small-12 large-8\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h4>Foam Rolling Massage<\/h4>\n<p>Be it in the form of muscular shortening, electrolyte deficiency, or medication \u2013 your body stores the stress of everyday life. Toxins settle in the tissue and small adhesions form in the fascias. This becomes brittle, makes the musculofascial network in your leg unyielding, and increases abnormal tensions.<\/p>\n<p>Break this negative spiral with our foam rolling massage. Applying pressure in a targeted manner de-acidifies the tissue, promotes blood circulation, and stimulates the repair of tangled fascial strands in a highly effective way.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-240277316\" class=\"col medium-4 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1991658589\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"801\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/leg-cramps-foam-rolling.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"A woman is foam rolling her calves.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/leg-cramps-foam-rolling.jpg 801w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/leg-cramps-foam-rolling-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/leg-cramps-foam-rolling-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/leg-cramps-foam-rolling-768x767.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 801px) 100vw, 801px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1991658589 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1391117512\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h4>Osteopressure<\/h4>\n<p>With our experts, you can practice muscle-fasciae stretches and benefit from our acute treatment \u2013 osteopressure.
