The dance between the Psoas and the vagus nerve is a fascinating partnership in our bodies. The Psoas, also known as the "muscle of the soul," is responsible for stabilizing our body and supporting us during stress.
Meanwhile, the vagus nerve is the "wandering nerve" that connects our brain to our gut, influencing digestion and relaxation. Together, they form a complex and important system that can either support or disrupt our stress response cycle.
When the Psoas is tight, it can irritate the vagus nerve and cause it to send stress signals to our brains. A tight Psoas can be caused by a variety of factors, including physical trauma, emotional stress, or even prolonged sitting. However, when the Psoas is relaxed it can create a sense of grounding and calm throughout the entire body.
Massage is an effective way to relax the Psoas by releasing tension and trigger points in the muscle. This allows the muscle to soften and lengthen, promoting a sense of overall well-being which can help reduce stress and anxiety. So if you're feeling stressed or anxious, take a moment to tune in to your body and your breath.
