Although the exact cause of leg cramps has not yet been successfully determined there are thought to be a number of possible causes including: * Dehydration (not taking on enough water, especially in hot conditions). * Low potassium or sodium (salt) levels. * Low carbohydrate levels. * Very tight muscles. A bout of severe leg cramp may cause damage to the muscle. Fibres of the muscle may be torn due to the shear strength of the muscle contraction. If this happens the muscle will be painful for some time afterwards. It is essential the a full rehabilitation programme with sports massage treatment is undertaken to restore the muscle to it's original condition. The injury can be treated in the same way as a muscle strain.
