Answer 1

It may be caused by excess lactic acid (from milk or dairy products) in her system. Have her try avoiding dairy products for a few days and see if that helps. It happens to me and that's what I do.

Answer 2

Here's a few things that might help:

* remain fully hydrated by drinking a little more water than usual
* take a Magnesium supplement (not potassium - which is in bananas)
* apply heat to the muscles with a hot water bottle or heating pad
* try gentle stretches after the muscles are warmed up
* after stretching and heat, massage the muscles.
