This works well for me – used it after 2 Nijmegen 100 mile marches and over the past 25 years. It takes about 15 minutes. It is based on a yoga position. It should:
• Relieve tired or cramped legs and feet
• Gently stretch the back legs, front torso, and the back of the neck

Sit sideways against a wall -- as close to the wall as possible. With one smooth movement, swing your legs up onto the wall with your back, shoulders and head resting on the floor.

Rest the sandbag on your feet. Raise your legs straight keeping the sandbag on your feet and hold your legs vertically in place against the wall.

Stay this way anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes. Be sure not to twist when coming back down.
