Your Psoas and QL are not juvenile delinquents that need to beat with a club and receive 1999 Motorola Razors for Christmas. Muscles just do the job you give them. They take when they have leverage and they get long when they are wrenched out of position.

These therapists search and they destroy. Not exactly who I want touching my body, let alone my psoas. Eeeek.
Three Tips to a Fitness Friendly Thanksgiving
- Buy the highest quality ingredients you can find - Eat. Enjoy it. Be Thankful.
- Purchase an Organic Free Range Turkey from Natural Grocers or a Farmer’s Market in your area.
- Use Grass-Fed Butter. It’s delicious.
- Don’t buy canned Pumpkin or canned Cranberries – instead make it from fresh organic ingredients. All can linings are riddled with BPA (derived from synthetic estrogen)

Little Timmy Caldwell - Supplements - Stop It
Everyone meet Little Timmy Caldwell. Timmy wants to get bigger so he asked his mom for some money to buy supplements. Timmy rides his bike to the strip mall and purchases all the protein and BCAAs he can get his little hands on.
He proceeds to drink a protein shake on the hour and flood his system intravenously throughout the day with BCAAs. Timmy also doubles his video game intake and rides his bike more often to school.
The Young and Resilient?
He lacked the wisdom, and the only way for him to get it was to buy it with his youth; and when wisdom was his, youth would have been spent buying it.
