I'm a Yoga Instructor, and These 5 Stretches Relieved My Plantar Fasciitis Pain From Running

Purpose of this stretch: While this simple and relaxing backbend opens the chest, neck, shoulders, and abs, I also love this stretch for my shins and the front of my feet.

• Begin seated on your shins.
• Interlace your hands behind you in a double fist, pressing the heels of your palms together. Pull your pressed palms toward the floor, opening through the chest and shoulders.
• Or for an even deeper stretch, rest your hands on the floor behind you, raising your knees off the floor slightly to increase the stretch in the front of your feet and shins.
• Breathe deeply for five breaths.
