Heel Pain in Asana
« on: May 06, 2014, 04:45:31 AM »
I have been practising asana for over two years.   A few weeks ago I developed a searing heel pain right heel only, in downward dog.   As a yoga teacher, I can't afford to be 'out'.  I will see my gp as a last resort, but I am thinking this is plantar fasciitis.   Advice please?  Should I be resting or stretching?   Namaste and thanks.

Short answer is both:)

You need rest but not inactivity to heal properly

Hopefully it's not. Mine lasted two years and I tried everything for relief.

Just wanted to report that a combination of rest and gentle stretches seems to have helped, in addition to switching more supportive shoes (Clark's Unstructured.  I'm thankful to be relatively pain-free [/\]
