21-Day Psoas Release Guide: A Nervous System-Based Path to Relief, Regulation & Resilience
Hello! I'm a nervous system-based occupational therapist passionate about helping individuals like you find relief from chronic pain and nervous system dysregulation. My own journey with persistent low back and hip pain after a traumatic injury inspired me to develop this 21-day psoas release PDF guide after discovering the profound impact of psoas muscle care.
This is a 21-day nervous system-based psoas release guide designed specifically for those of us with:
Chronic pain that does or doesn’t respond to conventional methods
Those with physical or emotional trauma that is stored in the hips
Hypermobility (EDS/hEDS) or connective tissue disorders
Dysautonomia or POTS, where certain movements or postures can trigger symptoms
MCAS, where flare-ups may follow stress or physical exertion
Trauma histories, where the body has learned to stay in survival mode
Or simply an overworked, overwhelmed system that needs a reset
✅ What Makes This Guide Different?
Most approaches to psoas tightness miss the root cause: your nervous system.
The psoas is a deep, primal muscle tied to our fight-or-flight reflex, core stability, and organ function.
When you've been in a state of chronic stress, trauma, or dysregulation, your psoas may stay stuck in a guarded state—tight, overactive, or even shut down.
That’s why this course doesn’t just give you another to-do list of stretches.
It gently reintroduces your body to safety, softness, and support, allowing your psoas to release on a deep level—without forcing or triggering symptoms.
📅 How the Program Works:
The course is broken into 3 progressive weeks, each building gently upon the last.
You’ll receive one-threes practices per day (5–15 minutes long), designed to be done at your pace, in the comfort of your home.
Each day includes:
Nervous system-informed somatic movement or rest
A gentle, psoas-targeted release or awareness practice
Optional journal prompts for reflection and integration
Clear instructions and images
21 days: Safety, Stillness, and Awareness
We begin by creating the conditions the psoas needs to let go—safety, slowness, and gravity. You’ll learn how to feel into your psoas, gently downshift your nervous system, and begin to create space in your core without force.
🔹 Practices include: Constructive rest, 90/90 psoas rest, supported diaphragmatic breathing, ground contact exploration, and gentle pelvic rocking.
🧠 This Course Supports:
Pain relief from hip, back, pelvic, and even shoulder tension
Improved digestion and organ mobility
Better vagus nerve tone and parasympathetic activation
Nervous system regulation for those with trauma, POTS, MCAS
Core awareness and stability (especially important for hypermobility)
Feeling safer in your body again
🔍 What You'll Learn
Why releasing your psoas is about feeling safe
How the psoas connects to the nervous system, digestion, and trauma
Gentle, somatic ways to release tension and activate deep support
Daily rituals that teach your body how to downshift and stay out of survival mode
Practices that are MCAS- and dysautonomia-friendly
Movement modifications for hypermobility and connective tissue sensitivity
🧰 You’ll Need:
A quiet space, mat, and 10–15 minutes per day
A yoga block or folded blanket
A belt or band (loop or long)
Optional: bolster or pillow, small stability ball, journal
🌿 This Course Is For You If:
You've tried stretching your psoas and it only made things worse
You have hypermobility and are scared of destabilizing your joints
You want more than pain relief—you want regulation, rest, and resilience
You’re ready for a gentle, trauma-informed, nervous-system first approach to healing
You’re exhausted by programs that push harder, stretch more, or ignore your symptoms
🚫 This Course Is Not For You If:
You're looking for intense workouts or fast results through force
You want aggressive mobility work
You're not open to a slow, body-first approach to healing
🌈 The Transformation You’ll Feel
By the end of the 21 days, you may notice:
Less hip or back tension
Better sleep
More ease in walking or standing
Calmer digestion
Feeling more at home in your body
An understanding of how your body holds—and releases—stress
And perhaps most importantly:
A deeper trust in your body’s ability to regulate, heal, and protect you.
