Editorial standards

How Gain of Motion earns trust

Health-adjacent writing needs visible limits, accurate sourcing, and a clear distinction between reported guidance and lived experience.

Two kinds of content

Practical guides are prepared by the Gain of Motion editorial team as general education. Field Notes are first-person essays by Anthony Mercer. We do not convert one person's recovery story into a universal rule.

Source selection

When a page makes a general health or safety claim, we prefer public-health agencies, government medical references, professional associations, and primary or evidence-review literature. Sources are linked near the relevant guide so readers can inspect the authority and context themselves.

No invented expertise

Gain of Motion is not a medical practice. We do not attach clinical credentials to authors who do not hold them, imply medical review that did not occur, or use a disclaimer to excuse overconfident advice. When individualized assessment is necessary, the page says so.

Updates and corrections

Substantive guides show a visible update date. We revise pages when reliable guidance changes, a claim is unclear, a link breaks, or a reader identifies an error. Send corrections to editor@gainofmotion.com with the page URL and the passage involved.

Advertising independence

Advertising supports publication but does not determine conclusions. Advertisers do not preview or approve editorial pages. Paid placements, sponsorships, and affiliate relationships will be labeled if they are introduced.

Use of automation

Editing tools may assist with organization, proofreading, code, and consistency checks. Published claims remain subject to human editorial responsibility, source review, and correction. Automation is not presented as medical expertise.
