> 2 Place on hand Thumb on one side of the leg, fingers on the other, just above

the knee. effectively you are right above the insertion point of the muscle

> 3The other hand goes at the top of the thigh in the same way such that you are

sort of grabbing the muscles.

> 4 Press down with your palm of your hands so you are putting pressure on the

muscle

> 5 draw your hands together slowly without lifting them off the leg, keeping

the pressure constant.Your hands will likely stop a few inches away from each

other at a point of natural resistance

>

> 6 hold your hands on the muscles in this position until you feel the muscle

soften.This might feel like a loosening or actual a softening under your hands

such that you can add a little more pressure or your hands will naturally be

able to move a little closer.

> 7When that happens, Keeping the pressure on the muscle , slowly spread your

hands( and the muscle under then back apart until you are stretching the muscle

apart

> 8 slowly , very slowly let up the pressure on the muscle

>

> Basically during this process , you have drawn the muscle together so that it

can relax and then you stretch the muscle out  and this should stop  or reduce

the muscle spasm
