Just a quick spot of lunchtime physio in between showers, as you do. I'm sure it'll all be worth it when canicross season comes around again.

I think I might be addicted to the squeezy cheese that Dad uses to lead me round, though…

1/3: A message I wrote to a friend re. healthcare spending of nations, which they had observed to be increasing:

I'm of the (uneducated) opinion that as countries/peoples become more wealthy in peace-time, once they percieve their needs as met, they end up spending that wealth on healthcare. A great tragedy from our perspective is that the best healthcare spending is preventative, but the wildest healthcare spending I observe through anecdote in other countries is curative; notoriously seen in futile end-of-life care in America.

The most obvious homologue - of a nation spending a hoofing amount of it's wealth in a given industry - seems to me the "military-industrial complex". It's a slightly clumsy term for our purpose, but here the military is a function of the government which in turn is a function of the country/peoples. So I think of it as a nation spending a hoofing amount of it's money on funding the industries that manufacture and deliver "warheads on foreheads", so to speak.

The best summary of this was provided by Eisenhower. I paste here words from https://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/robert-schlesinger/2011/09/30/the-origins-of-that-eisenhower-every-gun-that-is-made-quote:

> More than a week after Stalin’s death, Eisenhower was talking with speechwriter Emmet Hughes about the address. “Look, I am tired—and I think everyone is tired—of just plain indictments of the Soviet regime,” Ike said. “I think it would be wrong—in fact, asinine—for me to get up before the world now to make another one of those indictments. Instead, just one thing matters. What have we got to offer the world?”

Out of interest can anyone recommend a #rehab #hospital that does #outpatient #physiotherapy in #Brisbane. If near #WestEnd even better. Thanks :-)

@sad_electronics Oh you got the point. 😜 In fact, postures like this should be done all the time to avoid back pain. We say it all the time but we'll not stress it enough in #physiotherapy

A man who lost four fingers on his left hand in a table saw accident has played in a ukulele concert at the hospital that managed to reattach three of them and helped him with the physiotherapy needed to get his hand working again.

Do I know anyone who has any #physiotherapy knowledge? I need some #advice

I am trying to figure out why it hurts so much to sit at my work desk. Pretty much immediately when I sit down I get pain across my upper back and shoulders and no amount of checking and changing things to make my set-up more ergonomic seems to help.
I'm just wondering if anyone knows what might be the culprit, like, "oh yes, when that happened to me it was because my keyboard was in the wrong place" for example?

This is my least challenging #physiotherapy and I often wonder why I'm doing this (part of a superset and alternating with body weight hinges). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKmlPCbHBWc

Tight #piriformis. Definitely not #sciatica. Pain along #hamstring, especially at the top and under glute, sometimes groin.

I do some stretching that my #physio has recommended.

Any experience, in terms of how long that lasts?

"Relax," says the physiotherapist.
Sure, I have absolutely no problem relaxing while you poke me with a long ass needle.

Anyway, the physio was disappointed that I undid all his good work last week so my reward was a few extra pokes of dry needles today. 😭

This makes me very determined not to do bad things to my back next week 😅

In your 20’s
‘Do these exercises and stretches for a couple of weeks and you’ll be right as rain’

In your 50’s (same injury)
‘You’ll need to do these exercises and stretches until you die’

Damn. I have #PhysioTherapy tomorrow, haven’t had that in years…

Finally had a physio appointment for my knee yesterday. After bashing it back in January, it had been causing excruciating pain when using stairs & sometimes when walking. It had also been making a weird pop/click sound when I climbed stairs.

It had actually stopped hurting about a week ago, although the weird popping was still happening. So I felt a bit silly going to the appointment.

Today the pain has flared to the point it hurts all the damn time. I couldn't put any weight on it earlier & had to hop. And even just sat down it hurts. I preferred the pre-physio knee.
