Hi Todd, My PT also did a similar exercise with my legs. We would do it both before my PT workout, and after. I really think it helped. She also told me, that often it is helpful to try to break up the spasm at the point of origin, in order to keep it from spreading. Whenever I would start to get hit (Mine were tonic spasms.) my daughter would lay me down on the floor and start massaging and pulling my feet, really hard. Often, that would keept me from getting hit with the big ones. The big ones were nasty, as not only was there a lot of pain, but also posturing which often caused me to fall.
