Today, I want to bust a big myth in sports about muscle cramps and spasms. Most people assume they’re just caused by dehydration or low electrolytes—but what if that nagging cramp or spasm is actually a sign that your body isn’t fully ready to move?
In this episode, I break down how healthy flexibility and movement readiness play a major role in preventing cramps, whether you’re a teenage athlete, an adult soccer player, or just someone who wants to move better. We’ll talk about how tight or restricted joints can cause muscles to “silence” themselves, leading to weakness, spasms, and delayed recovery—even if you’re drinking plenty of water.
I’ll walk you through how joint and muscle optimization, combined with our proprietary testing methods, can identify the areas that need attention and help you regain strength, mobility, and confidence in your movement. If you’ve been struggling with recurring cramps or tightness, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on why hydration isn’t the whole story—and what you can do about it.
Tune in to learn how to keep your body cramp-free, ready to move, and performing at its best.
