The psoas muscle plays a significant role in your posture, back pain, and overall movement. Often referred to as the "emotional muscle," the psoas affects more than just your physical health—it can influence stress levels and mental well-being. When this muscle is tight, it can cause discomfort and hinder your performance in workouts. It’s crucial to strengthen and release this muscle for overall health.

By focusing on strengthening your psoas, you’re also improving your core stability, which enhances running mechanics and reduces the likelihood of injury. This muscle is key to almost every movement, from walking to lifting. The more you nurture it, the better your body will perform, especially when it comes to intense physical activity.

Understanding how the psoas works and learning how to stretch and strengthen it can lead to better posture, reduced pain, and greater flexibility. It’s an often overlooked but essential aspect of fitness. So, take the time to focus on it—it’ll pay off in the long run.

CPR and AEDs are both crucial tools in treating sudden cardiac arrest, but they address different aspects of the emergency. CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) manually maintains circulation and oxygen flow to the brain and heart until the heart restarts or professional help arrives. AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) are devices that analyze the heart's rhythm and deliver an electrical shock to restore a normal heart rhythm.
CPR Purpose:
To manually keep blood flowing to the brain and heart when the heart has stopped beating. CPR should be commenced immediately when the casualty collapses and does not have a pulse.
AED Purpose:
To analyze the heart's rhythm and deliver a shock (defibrillation) if necessary. AED's should be applied the minute they are available preferably within 4 mins of the casualty's collapse.
