The Mayo muscle cramp information sheet says: "Stretch the cramped muscle and gently rub the muscle to help it relax. For a calf cramp, put your weight on your cramped leg and bend your knee slightly. If you´re unable to stand, try pulling your foot back toward your head while your leg is in a straightened position. This will also help ease a back thigh (hamstring) cramp. For a front thigh (quadriceps) cramp, use a chair to steady yourself and try pulling your foot on the side of the cramp up toward your buttock."
