The Psoas: The Muscle of Survival

Meet the psoas, one of the most misunderstood and overworked muscles in the human body.
It’s deep, powerful, and directly connected to your spine, diaphragm, and pelvis. Which means it doesn’t just affect how you move… it affects how you feel.

When the psoas tightens, it can:
• Pull your spine out of alignment
• Compress organs like the liver, kidneys, and intestines
• Cause chronic low back pain, hip pain, or even digestive issues
• Keep your body stuck in a fight-or-flight state

This is why some clients feel emotional release when we work deep into the hip flexors and abdomen because the psoas holds tension, trauma, and fear.

When we release it, we’re not just freeing a muscle
we’re restoring breath, posture, and nervous system balance.

Massage therapy doesn’t stop at the surface.
It works in the places you can’t stretch or foam roll your way into.
It’s clinical. It’s emotional. It’s the bridge between body and mind.

You think massage is just pressure and oil?
Nah….
We’re talking neuro resets.
Those 12 cranial nerves?
They control everything from your breath to your heartbeat.
When your therapist hits the right spot at the base of your skull, that’s your vagus nerve saying:

“Finally… I can breathe again.”

For Amanda … on her wedding day

Today, one of our own begins a new chapter one written with love, partnership, and the kind of devotion that can’t be taught… only felt.
Amanda, you’ve spent years helping others heal, breathe, and realign holding space for everyone else’s storms.
But today, the world holds space for you.

You deserve every ounce of joy, every quiet breath of peace, and every wild heartbeat that comes with this kind of love.
May your marriage be like your work, grounded, intentional, and full of grace.
May it remind you daily that soft doesn’t mean weak, and commitment doesn’t mean confinement , it’s the art of choosing each other, again and again.

From all of us at K&A .. We love you, we celebrate you, and we’re so proud to witness this next chapter.
Here’s to love, to laughter, and to a lifetime of being seen the way you’ve always seen others.

The “go to” to promote fascia health.

Daily Nutrition & Mineral Support for Fascia

1. Magnesium (muscle + fascia relaxation)

Food sources: Pumpkin seeds, almonds, cashews, spinach, dark chocolate, avocado.

Supplements (if needed): Magnesium glycinate (calming, muscle health) or magnesium malate (energy + fascia flexibility).

Daily target: 300–400 mg.

2. Silica (collagen + elasticity)

Food sources: Oats, cucumbers (with skin), bell peppers, bananas, horsetail tea, mineral-rich spring water.

Supplements: Bamboo silica or horsetail extract.

Tip: Pair with vitamin C foods to enhance collagen building.

3. Zinc & Copper (collagen cross-linking + repair)

Food sources:

Zinc: Pumpkin seeds, chickpeas, oysters, beef, lentils.

Copper: Dark chocolate, sesame seeds, cashews, spirulina, shiitake mushrooms.

Balance: Supplement zinc only if deficient—always pair with a little copper to avoid imbalance.

4. Manganese (connective tissue enzymes)

Food sources: Pineapple, pecans, oats, brown rice, leafy greens, tea.

Supplements: Usually unnecessary unless diet is poor.

5. Electrolytes (hydration + fascial glide)

Food sources: Coconut water, citrus, watermelon, leafy greens, Himalayan salt.

Hydration tip: A pinch of mineral salt + a squeeze of lemon in water helps fascia stay plump and slippery.

6. Calcium + Phosphorus (structure, in balance)

Food sources: Sardines (with bones), yogurt/kefir, almonds, sesame seeds (tahini), leafy greens.

Note: Balance with magnesium so fascia doesn’t stiffen.

7. Sulfur (collagen bonds + detox support)

Food sources: Garlic, onions, broccoli, cabbage, kale, eggs.

Supplements: MSM powder (popular for joint + fascia flexibility).

8. Boron (mineral synergy)

Food sources: Prunes, raisins, almonds, walnuts, avocado, chickpeas.

Benefit: Helps fascia use magnesium, calcium, and vitamin D more effectively
