If a client experiences a calf spasm during the session, what would be the best course of action for the therapist to follow?
  1. End the session
  2. Give the client water
  3. Use either MET or PNF
  4. Bolster the area
Explanation
Answer: C MET (Muscle Energy Technique) or PNF (Proprioceptor Neuromuscular Facilitation) will counteract symptoms of spasms and cramps by creating a contract/relax response in the muscle. Both modalities incorporate RROM (Resisted Range of Motion) technique which restores proprioception, strength and balance to muscles.
