My physical therapist is great at stretching me, and that has helped.  My doctor put me on Zanaflex for it, too.  The combination of the medication and stretching has proved to be very effective for me.

Baclofen is the most prescribed drug for spasticity - the dosage amount can be adjusted until you find the right balance.  If that doesn't help, there are other drugs that can be tried.

I find regular massage helps to keep my leg muscles happier.  Exercise and stretching can be of some use, as well

what are you trying now?

I know stretching and exercise helps.  There are some medications, too but I am not sure of the names.
