NEXUS INSIGHT!

Hey there, NEXUS Community!

The psoas muscle, one of the deepest core muscles in the body, plays a vital role in posture, movement, and overall stability. Because it connects the lower spine to the femur, it directly influences how we sit, stand, walk, and even breathe. When the psoas becomes tight or shortened—often from prolonged sitting—it can contribute to lower back pain, hip discomfort, reduced mobility, and postural imbalances. Regular stretching and maintenance of the psoas help release tension, improve hip flexibility, support spinal alignment, and enhance functional movement patterns. Keeping this muscle supple not only reduces the risk of injury but also promotes better energy flow, core strength, and overall well-being. Come stretch and strengthen with us!

See you soon!

UPCOMING EVENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY!

FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT SCREENING!

The FMS is a basic movement screening that is used to find hidden movement habits, muscle weakness, balance, compensations and to prevent injury. Anyone can do the FMS as it is a simple set of measured movements designed to look at how your body moves in patterns, not parts. NEXUS believes physical movement is learned behavior through shape change. This means we can define our starting conditions through the FMS and relearn proper form inside functional fitness for healing and training.

The FMS gives NEXUS the unique information to construct your data-driven personalized plan. NEXUS uses the screening to provide corrective exercises for you to do in the gym or the comfort of your own home.

So, if you feel like a past injury is getting in the way of your performance, or if you seem to be hitting a plateau, these evaluations will tell you everything you need to know about how to improve your fitness!
