Yoga Sequence Targetting Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar Fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia ligaments (which support the arches and run from the heel along the bottom of the foot) get damaged and inflamed. This 20-minute yoga sequence focuses on stretching the bottom of the foot and lower calf (along with the body in general). It also works into the hip flexors and here's why: limited mobility in the hips foreshortens the walking stride, and a shortened stride robs the back foot and heel of a natural stretch as the upper body moves forward. For those with severe or chronic fasciitis, the first order of business may be a visit to the doctor/physiotherapist. A regimen of yoga stretching and icing (and even a night splint), can help ease the symptoms. It takes patience and wisdom--overdoing it can exacerbate the condition.
