Cramp Removal

Self:

1. Ensure you're buoyancy won't be an issue while performing the cramp removal [either standing in the shallows, positive if floating, or neutral underwater]
2. Leave your fins on
3. Grab the tip of your fin with one or both hands
4. Pull the fin tip back toward your body
5. This stretches the back of your calf and should provide relief
6. Ask for assistance if this isn't alleviating the pain

Buddy:

1. Have your buddy outstretch her/his leg perpendicular to their body
2. Place your forearm along the length of your buddy's fin, hand toward the fin tip, elbow on the heel pocket
3. Begin pressing your forearm toward your buddy's chest, using the fin as a lever to stretch out their calf muscles
4. With your opposite arm, reach under your buddy's leg and with your hand begin massaging their calf
5. Continue applying force with your arm and massaging until your buddy signals you OK
6. Sometime you may ease on and off pressure to help alleviate the cramp
