Thinking about this paper today as I talk to people about their opioid tapering experiences. Evidence is starting to show that tapering has its own risks and supporting patient agency is vital. https://t.co/M92Fsss5zV

Most people have a leg length discrepancy, typically up to approx. 1cm. For a long time therapists have been chasing symmetry with alignment, assuming it’s the normal and therefore the goal.

But if only 10% of us have equal leg length does that make symmetry abnormal?! 🤔 🤯

Salutogenesis translates to “the origins of health”, focusing not on illness/pain/disease but instead on wellness

Maybe many of these things also help us cope with pain better when it inevitably occurs
