A member asked:

My mom has told me not to shower with cold water after the gym because the temperature change causes muscle spams. is she right?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not in this case: Cool shower water temperature has nothing to do with muscle cramps. Frigid water (falling into a frozen lake) can cause muscle rigidity, but your shower could never get that cold!
