Hot oil massage is a traditional form of massage therapy that has been practiced for centuries in many cultures around the world. It involves the use of warm oil, typically infused with herbs and essential oils, which is applied to the body and massaged into the skin. The oil is heated to a temperature that is comfortable for the client, and the therapist uses long, flowing strokes to soothe and relax the muscles.

Every time I see writing advice like 'remember to stretch your wrists!' I remember the horror my physiotherapist had when he learned I was stretching my wrists before writing but also had chronic nerve pain.

Now this is important. It's nerve pain. He stared at me and then said: Stop stretching.

I stared at him in shock and he said: Muscular pain is different from nerve pain. Stop stretching. Nerves don't respond to stretching like muscles do, it's two totally different treatments. Don't believe me? Stop stretching until our next session and tell me how you go.

And folks I've been free from nerve pain in my wrists ever since. After about a decade. And that's 2 straight years now. 2 years.

I still get muscular pain, which I stretch when that comes up and only when it comes up. But the specific pain I had from ulnar nerve impingement in both hands completely vanished. I was unknowingly making it worse because I thought stretching the nerves was the same as stretching the muscles, and thought the answer applied to everything.

(Tl;dr everyone is different. My physiotherapist is studying to become a medical doctor and will quit out of the field soon, but I always appreciated that everything he told me was solidly backed up with peer-reviewed studies and never came out of nowhere. Also his 'try it for a month and see' was so much better than 'I know I'm right' - because it left a door open for the people who realise what they thought was nerve pain was probably muscular in origin).

It’s disability pride month, and if you are disabled in the U.S. from Long Covid I want you to know that you’re not alone, and you’re valid in whatever you feel. Whether that’s sorrow at your new problems or rage at society for failing you, you are valid, and it is truly messed up that society is continuing to fail you.

so... basically, one of the first actions that barton does in the morning after waking up is the ' big stretch ' thing that cats normally do. and yes, he does this even if there is another person sleeping in his bed with him, so he is not embarrassed of it at all lol. it just relieves all of the tension in his muscles okok i'm sorry, i don't make the rules JSJSJ

anyway i love karen kalamazoo pine because one the one hand she has a lot of complex inner feelings and struggles to figure out how to voice her insecurities and be vulnerable with people. It's easier to be funny and lighthearted.

On the other hand she thinks she's the funniest person in the world. Dumbass standup comedian here, performing for an audience of 1 24/7

Embrace others for their differences, for that makes you whole.

this quote has meant so much to me ever since I first saw it in TCW. and now it has an even deeper meaning for me.

today, after years of wondering and searching, I was officially diagnosed with ASD and ADHD. it was thanks to TBB that I was even able to come to the decision to get tested, and I'll be forever grateful for these characters and what they represent 💙

fun fact: I was today years old when I discovered the symbol of ADHD is a butterfly. in my fic series MLWTBB, I had Wrecker wear a shirt that I own irl, which is a yellow t-shirt with butterflies on it. I've headcanoned him having ADHD for a while now, so the yellow butterfly shirt is even more appropriate now 🥰

i hate when people say "wellness" when what they actually mean is cosmetic products. what a sad little life you lead. you could be going to a pool and a sauna

Release back pain

Exercise can be helpful in relieving and preventing lower back pain. Here are some exercises that can be beneficial:

Pelvic tilt: Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Tighten your abdominal muscles and press your lower back into the ground. Hold for 5 seconds and release.

Knee-to-chest stretch: Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Bring one knee up to your chest and hold for 15-30 seconds. Repeat with the other leg.

Bird dog: Start on your hands and knees. Lift your right arm and left leg straight out, keeping your back straight. Hold for a few seconds and then switch sides.

Bridge: Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Lift your hips up toward the ceiling, squeezing your glutes. Hold for a few seconds and then lower back down.

Cat-cow stretch: Start on your hands and knees. Arch your back up like a cat and then lower it down like a cow. Repeat several times.

Cobra pose: Lie on your stomach with your hands under your shoulders. Press up through your hands, lifting your chest and arching your back. Hold for a few seconds and then lower back down.

Child's pose: Kneel on the ground and stretch your arms forward, lowering your forehead to the mat. Hold for several seconds.

Remember to start slowly and gradually increase the intensity and duration of your exercises. If you experience pain or discomfort during any exercise, stop and consult with a medical professional.
