kasey | the nervous system OT on Instagram: "The waitlist for the psoas release for nervous system regulation program is in my bio :) How the psoas is the fight or flight muscle: The psoas is directly tied into the sympathetic nervous system (“fight or flight”). When the brain perceives danger, it sends signals that activate the psoas to prepare the body to flee or fight. The psoas contracts to flex the hips (ready to run) or curl into a protective fetal position. Chronic stress, trauma, or prolonged sitting (which mimics a defensive posture) can cause the psoas to remain tight and shortened, reinforcing a constant low-grade “fight or flight” state. A tight psoas can contribute to anxiety, shallow breathing, lower back pain, pelvic imbalance, and even digestive issues. How this re
Dr. Roni Glassman PT, DPT on Instagram: "STRONG KNEEZ ⭐️Step up with heel raise: I recommend holding onto a wall or some other sturdy surface so that the exercise is not overshadowed by your fear of falling 🥲 2x10 reps ⭐️Incline board heel raise: if you don’t have a board, do these off a step! I like the incline because it challenged the gastroc/soleus muscles through a wider range of motion. 3x10 reps ⭐️ incline board toe raises: you should feel a good burn at the front of your shin as this works the anterior tibialis muscle 💪🏼 3x10 reps ⭐️ Spanish squat hold: hold for 3-5 seconds at the bottom of the squat, and do 8-12 reps #strongknees #kneepain #dontfall"

Justin Agustin on Instagram: "Good circulation in your legs is essential for overall health, helping to ease stiffness, swelling, and discomfort. It supports energy levels, promotes healing, and keeps your muscles and joints feeling their best. When movement is limited, gentle exercises—even while seated or in bed—can encourage healthy flow throughout your body, delivering oxygen and nutrients where they’re needed. This can help reduce feelings of heaviness and improve overall well-being. Whether you’re a beginner, senior, or have limited mobility, small movements can make a big difference in how you feel each day. Prioritizing circulation-friendly activities supports long-term comfort and mobility. Start your journey to a stronger, healthier you at JustinAgustin.com. Access low-impact,
