The following yoga pose seems like a useful approach (I mean; for the hands and upper body; doing the feet like that would be optional),

I have a theory that anything that aids in reducing stress is good. When I was a mechanic there was a miserable day in August that magnified the usual working over hot engines and being on my feet on cement all day. By the time I arrived at my girlfriend's place my back was killing me and my feet hurt. I was just miserable all around.
She told me that she could massage my feet and I would feel 1000% better in only a few minutes. Due to all the movies with guys drinking champagne out of slippers etc. I thought this seemed weird and wanted no part of it. She said "I absolutely 100% guarantee if you try it you will be glad you did." She only said that about twice a year and when she did she was never wrong so I gave in. After about 10 minutes of slight pressure of the thumbs into the arches of my feet, my feet, legs, back and attitude was no longer sore. I try to recommend it to people. It is extremely easy to do. But because of the champagne slipper foot fetish thing, people weird out right away.
If you have someone willing to apply this type of massage I highly recommend giving it a try. If you think about it, especially if you work on your feet all day, that weight pressing down on the arches constantly creates stress that you don't notice until it is relieved. It is like a jack hammer when they repair the sidewalk outside your house. After a few hours your brain tunes it out, until the noise stops. Then you realize what a burden it was.
Anyway, even if you have to pay for a massage ask the masseuse if she will do arch massage therapy instead of the shoulders/back routine. It is way more effective.
