5 Easy, Relaxing Stretches for Stress Relief, According to a Physical Therapist
Give yourself a break with soothing stretches that send stress and anxiety packing. Mar 11, 2021
If you’re feeling more stressed than usual these days (and who isn’t?), there’s a simple way to feel better fast: Start stretching! Not only does stretching help ease achy muscles and joints and maintain mobility as we get older, it’s also a soothing way to unwind.
“Stretching often is a neglected type of exercise, but it couldn’t be easier,” says Carol Ewing Garber, Ph.D., a professor of movement sciences at Teachers College, Columbia University. “You don’t need to be fit or use special equipment, and you don’t have to do much to experience benefits. Stretching makes you slow down and focus on the present, which also becomes a sort of mindfulness meditation.”
“The mobility and strength of yourcalf muscles are what sets the stage for how other parts, like your knees and hips, can move,” says Bowman. Strong calves can lead to longer strides, better balance, and strong ankles.
With a wall or chair close by for balance, place a half foam roller (or a rolled yoga mat or towel) on the floor in front of you. Step onto the towel with a bare foot; place the ball of the foot on the top of the towel and keep your heel on the floor. This is your stretching leg.
Slowly straighten your stretching leg. Keeping your body upright, step forward with the opposite foot. The tighter your stretching leg, the harder it is to take that step.

stretch begins. Yay!
Work to double the railway track between
Yeshwanthpur and Channasandra has finally begun. This track passes through the densely populated areas in Hebbal and Banaswadi. Daoubling this 21-km stretch has been a key demand for many Bengalureans, who live or work close to the railway stations but are unable to use these services due to the City’s poor rail infrastructure.
Officials from the Karnataka Rail Infrastructure Development Enterprise (K-RIDE) confirmed that the work has started between Yeshwanthpur and Lottegollahalli. “Our target is to complete the work in the next three years,” said
