Mental load spikes neck tension by 60%+. 📉

The hidden danger: From 30% tension upward, blood flow drops drastically, starving tissue of oxygen. 🛑🩸

Therapy restores the flow instantly, and exercises prevent the collapse. 🌬️✨

I have a newsletter out today, wherein I attempt an introduction to the work of Tacoma, Washington poet Robert Lashley, touching on e e cummings and Amiri Baraka along the way.

The cover photo is a few years old, probably taken around LA's Fashion District or South Central. Probably shot with a Pentax Super Program on Ilford HP5+ film.

The newsletter, like the photo, is a bit melancholy, but not without its bright spots. I'm feeling the loss of so many right now, caught up the incredible violence of our government's white nationalist fantasy.

I publish these on a seasonal rhythm as an enticement to myself to promote my #ManualTherapy practice—an activity that otherwise feels hopelessly mundane and unwelcome. The effort I put in is far greater than whatever financial return I get from flogging my artistic tastes in the face of my clients, so if you are inspired to share, comment, or subscribe, please feel free to make my day.

MR sonucunuzda “bel fıtığı” yazması gerçekten ağrı yaşayacağınız anlamına mı gelir?
Ya da MR tamamen temizken bel ve bacak ağrısı neden olur?

Klinikte sık gördüğümüz bir gerçek var:
📌 Bel fıtığı MR bulguları ile hissedilen ağrı her zaman birebir örtüşmez.
Bu yazıda:
• MR’da fıtık çıkması ama ağrı olmaması
• Fıtık ağrısının bacağa vurması
• Fizik tedavi ve bel fıtığı ilişkisi
bilimsel ve sade bir dille ele alındı.

I have recently been working with a group organizing free wellness clinics in solidarity with folks affected by the Eaton Fire in #Altadena. We will be out this afternoon at the Altadena Village Fall Festival at John Muir High School. Come stop by if you are local and say hi or get a free treatment. I think it's just walk-ups but this page has info:

I have a fresh newsletter out today.

After updates, I spend a little time gushing about @jennitaur's now not-so-new book, "How to Do Nothing," before diving into selections from Kenneth Rexroth that may or may not illustrate something about doing nothing.

I hope this one hits like a nice warm mug of mulled wine. Please enjoy.

𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆 𝗗𝗮𝘆 — thank you to PTs who restore movement, reduce pain, and improve daily life. PTs assess movement, prescribe tailored exercises, provide hands‑on care and education, and use modalities when needed to treat conditions like low back pain, neck/shoulder pain, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, post‑surgical rehab and chronic pain.

Do one practical thing today: try seated pelvic tilts — sit tall, feet flat; tuck pelvis to flatten low back for 3–5 sec, arch gently for 3–5 sec; repeat 8–12 times, stop if it hurts. Tag a PT, share a short recovery tip, or join a local screening.

New newsletter out today! I share and reflect on some poetry by Elise Cowen, and shamelessly try to get people to let me care for them. Read and share as you wish. Subscribe even, maybe.

Friendly reminder that my sliding scale goes down to zero, no questions asked. I would really like to offer treatment to folks who have been affected by the recent raids or injured while protesting. I specialize in working with the bodily effects of old traumas and illnesses, but can provide support with recent traumas, as well. I am a manual therapist based in #Pasadena.

Info about my work is available at https://wilsonshook.com

Edit to add: I also speak basic Spanish
