    What a mind!

    When a person with back pain is lying on their stomach with their face hidden, it is easy to fall into the trap to think that their back needs comforting with heat, touch, needles, electricity – whatever.
    Wittgenstein’s quote should be in the top 10 quotes for rehab undergraduates.
