Field Notes author
Anthony Mercer
Anthony Mercer writes the first-person Field Notes about back-injury recovery, physiotherapy, pacing, and returning to ordinary movement.
What Anthony writes
The essays focus on what became clearer over time: the difference between stiffness and irritation, why rest can help and then become costly, how simple exercises earned trust, and why ordinary tasks often measured progress better than dramatic sessions.
Scope and credentials
Anthony writes from lived experience. He is not presented as a physician, physical therapist, or other licensed clinician, and his essays do not diagnose readers or prescribe treatment. Personal experience can make useful questions visible; it cannot tell another person what condition they have.
