Here is her original question.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I have asked this of other Yoga experts. I am a Yoga instructor and have been diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis. It is quite acute to the point of being in pain when I am on my feet. I teach Yoga but am not practicing standing poses due to the pain. How would you address this other than the usual ice, rest, etc. I am not doing any radical stretches of the fascia since this exacerbates the pain at this point. I do know that ultimately certain poses which hurt now, would be beneficial. What can be done in this acute phase and is yoga contraindicated.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>YogaCurious Reply<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As you are yoga instructor, you know how to practice yoga and at <a title=\"Yoga is Not Just Stretching \u2013 It Is Lot More than that!\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yogacurious.com\/blog\/yoga-is-not-just-stretching-it-is-lot-more-than-that\">what extant you should stretch your body<\/a>.
