Stretching
As most minor leg pains involve tight or strained muscles, stretching your leg might be a good way to relieve. Stretching can elongate muscle fibers, increase flexibility and promote better circulation, which can eventually alleviate discomfort and minor pain. Ideally, all stretching sessions should last for around 30 seconds, from 3 to 5 times per day until the condition fades away. [4]
– For hamstring pain, you should bend over at your waist and try to touch the toes
– For thigh pain, you can bend the knee and pull up your foot with your hand to make the heel come close to the butt
– For calf pain, lean against the wall and keep your feet flat on the ground. Move away the feet from the wall until you get a sound stretch in the calves
