Have you ever tried this? Why not give it a bash? My friend and incredible person Elize Rothmann uses her talent, skills and knowledge in the structural realignment of the body and trust me… this is unlike anything you have ever experienced and the effects are astonishing! She comes to your home and/or you can book a session at the studio. As women we can start by reconnecting with our bodies and rediscover the incredible power that lies within your body. That is where self-love begins🥰❤️‍🔥🙌🏻🙏🏻👍🏻😉💃🏽🤗

THE BODY KEEPS THE SCORE. 🧠➡️🫀

You go to therapy.
You talk about your problems.
You understand why you feel this way.
But you still feel the knot in your stomach and the pressure in your chest.
Why? Because trauma is not just a cognitive memory — it is a physiological imprint. ⚡

Fascia is the connective tissue network that wraps every muscle, organ, and nerve.
It is a sensory organ, with more nerve endings than the skin or the eyes. 🧬

When you experience acute stress or trauma and cannot “fight or flee” (you freeze), that enormous kinetic energy gets trapped.
The fascia contracts to protect you — like body armor. 🛡️
Over time, it becomes dehydrated and stiff.

In 2026, somatic neuroscience confirms what osteopaths already knew:
👉 Fascia has memory.
• Fear is stored in the Psoas (the “muscle of the soul”). 😨
• The burden of responsibility is stored in the Trapezius muscles. 🎒
• Unexpressed anger is stored in the Jaw (mandible). 😬

As long as this physical tension remains, your brain receives a constant “DANGER” signal from the body (interoception). 🚨
You cannot relax your mind if your body is screaming.

This is where Myofascial Release and Somatic Therapies (such as TRE or Somatic Experiencing) come in. 🤲
By physically manipulating tissue or inducing neurogenic tremors, you “break” the energetic cyst.
That’s why during a deep massage or a yoga session, people often start crying for no apparent reason.
It’s not new sadness — it’s old sadness leaving the tissue. 💧

To heal the mind, sometimes you have to stop talking and start moving the connective tissue. 🔄

💡 TIP (Psoas Release)

“The psoas is the emotional trash bin of the body.”

Daily exercise:
• Lie on your back
• Place a yoga block or firm cushion under your sacrum (pelvis)
• Stretch one leg while pulling the other knee to your chest
• Breathe deeply into your lower abdomen 🌬️
• If you feel sharp sensations or emotions, it’s normal
• Hold for 2 minutes per side

This is why we focus on this almost every yoga class🙌🏻🙏🏻

🌹👍🌹🗑️ THE BODY’S EMOTIONAL TRASH BIN

Have you ever taken a yoga class and, when deeply opening your hips, suddenly felt like crying for no reason?
You’re not crazy. You’ve touched your psoas. 😮‍💨

The Psoas Major is the deepest hip flexor muscle.
Physically, it allows you to lift your leg to walk.
Neurologically, it is the fight-or-flight muscle 🏃‍♂️⚡

When you feel fear or stress, the brain sends a signal:
“Curl up to protect the organs!”
The psoas contracts instantly.

😰 THE MODERN PROBLEM

We live in chronic stress:
📧 emails
🚗 traffic
📰 constant news

But we never run or fight. We stay seated.
That “escape energy” gets trapped in the psoas.

Over time, the muscle becomes:
• Chronically tense
• Short
• Dry

Because the adrenal glands (adrenaline) sit right above the kidneys and rest on the psoas, a tight psoas constantly stimulates them — keeping you in a permanent state of alert and background anxiety ⚠️🧠

🔓 FREEING THE PSOAS

Releasing the psoas isn’t just about easing lower back pain.
It’s about emptying the emotional recycling bin of the last 10 years 🧹💭

🌿 VITALIZATE TIP (The Release)

Constructive Rest Pose
👉 Don’t force a stretch if you’re very tense.

1️⃣ Lie on your back on the floor
2️⃣ Bend your knees and place your feet on the ground, hip-width apart
3️⃣ Let your knees gently fall toward each other (resting)
4️⃣ Place your hands on your lower belly 🤍

Stay there for 10–15 minutes ⏳
Gravity will allow the femur to “drop” into the hip socket, and the psoas will release on its own.

You may feel:
✨ Trembling
🔥 Warmth

Let it happen.

🧠 CONNECTION

Your psoas connects your legs to your spine — and your survival instincts to your nervous system.
