uncramping
Easing muscle contraction
Uncramping is the action of relieving or releasing a cramp—the painful involuntary muscle contraction.
It involves stretching, massaging, or otherwise easing the tightened muscle back to its relaxed state: She spent several minutes uncramping her calf after the run.
Figuratively, uncramping can mean freeing something from constraint or restriction.
