Early Morning
Horizontal Loading
In the morning, spend 15 minutes walking barefoot outside. Alternate between walking (or just standing) barefoot on the grass and walking on a rock mat / cobble stones, etc. We are accomplishing a couple of things here. 1) Barefoot contact (earthing) is an easy and awesome recovery technique. 2) Walking on the rock mat will stimulate mechanoreceptors on the bottom of your feet facilitating stabilization in the foot / ankle complex as well as adding in knee stabilization.

The TV ELDOA is a descending posture. The knees are bent and the arms are not engaged in creating myo-fascial tension.
By staying in the posture longer than the 60 seconds normally used for ELDOA postures, you allowing the release of gravity to ameliorate spinal tension and discomfort.
