Medical professionals are so fond of telling us that regular exercise is great for our physical and mental health, but for a lot of us that's about as much use as prescribing chamomile tea to a chronic insomniac

Really good and interesting post! I enjoyed that a lot. I have complicated feelings about exercise rhetoric ... technically I 'exercise' (do physio) very 'regularly', but my practice and my embodiment are so far off most cultural narratives of exercising, and even most narratives of physio, that being able (strictly speaking) to tell myself -- 'I do exercise' -- doesn't begin to dent my underlying massively damaged/damaging feelings in the subject. It was so thought-provoking to read your personal narrative; I'm sure I'll be reflecting on it for a bit. <3
