Personal hygiene as physical therapy
Shaving, I raise my chin and turn my head and somewhere in my neck I feel a "crunch" but it's a good crunch. Sometime later in the routine, I turn the other way, or twist some other way, and something else goes "crunch" and I'm thinking this is great, who needs a chiropractor? One time in the shower I was reaching around and had to turn and twist my 60-something-year-old self and something in my back went "pop" but it was a good pop. And it occurred to me that that's all Tai Chi is. In movies, it just looks like they're moving in slow motion, move the arms, move the legs, but what they're really doing is moving the body around, keeping things limber, keeping things loose and moving, and yeah it feels fucking great because the older you get, the less you move, so something as simple as moving around and getting your blood flowing feels good.
Anyway, I just thought of that.
