The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
Sure, dogs are helpful to mental health, cool, but also, cats are bad for mental health. Just saying.

I promise to post about massage and physical therapy again, after these fires go out (soon, I hope?) regularly scheduled programming will be resumed. Until that day, here is Prof. Dave covering all of the absolute shenanigans RFK Jr. is up to.

Hey! Vaccines are completely safe, and they are good for humanity. Andrew Wakefield is a liar, and he is still out there selling the same lies. For your consideration: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZBe...
Don't eat it.
Ever ponder why RFK Jr. wants to ignore infectious diseases for non-infectious/chronic ones instead? Or why he seems to hate scientist Paul Offit & the lifesaving rotavirus vax he co-invented?
Malcolm Gladwell offers a nice explanation from reading RFK Jr.'s 400+ pg anti-Fauci book.

In case you have ever been taken in by this scam, "detox" is a buzz word and ionic baths are a lie. Be careful out there
You tagged the wrong Valence, I'm glad I'm not a part of this friendly discussion.
When you think of mental health, does massage come to mind? Because it definitely should.
Touch had demonstrated large effects on depression, anxiety, stress, mood, and sleep quality.

You would expect before getting your back popped by a Chiro, they should examine you and have a specific target in mind to "adjust" Right?
Turns out, it probably doesn't matter at all. General, random adjustments work better, or at least equally.

Post concussion symptoms can drag on long after the expected recovery of a concussion by months or even years. Looking at functional neurological disorders as an explanation seems reasonable and grounds to get additional rehabilitation when needed. Fascinating!
Education update: Touching other human beings carries a serious responsibility to understand that trauma survivors are ubiquitous and might have different needs. www.dr-olson.com/blog/why-tra...
It is crazy how overly technical and absurdly specific internet exercise gurus pretend rehabilitation should be. Show up, move more, and do 1% better than yesterday. Everything else is noise. #painscience #painskyence #physio #physiotherapy

Trauma triggers chronic #inflammation, which has been linked to worsened PTSD symptoms and impaired recovery!
Research shows that trauma-induced immune system dysregulation can perpetuate mental #health issues.
⬇️ inflammation = ⬇️ trauma symptoms = ⬆️ recovery!

Even as Americans live longer, they spend more of their years in poor health than any other country, a new study shows.
People in the US live with illness for 12.4 years on average – up from 10.9 years in 2000, according to a study published by the American Medical Association

Another win for sports massage, why stretch before a game when you can get a massage instead?

Teach Self-Efficacy! Patients believe their body is a stack of spinal segments balanced on bony levers; pain is when something goes "out" and relief is the Therapeutic-Dependence Salesman down the street.
That is, until the day someone shows them relief without grift.
New paper out in @ScienceMagazine! In 8 studies (multiple platforms, methods, time periods) we find: misinformation evokes more outrage than trustworthy news, when it does it's shared more + ppl are less likely to read before sharing. w/ @killianmcl1 @Klonick @mollycrockett 🧵👇
