Why I Started This Blog

by Son’s Rehabilitation Medicine & Chiropractic Clinic in Seoul

I began writing this blog on February 22, 2025.
After more than 30 years of clinical experience, I felt it was time to gradually organize and reflect on the knowledge and insights I’ve accumulated over the years.
At the same time, I wanted to capture fleeting moments of everyday life—those quiet thoughts and feelings that so often pass by unnoticed—and express them in writing.

With the wholehearted support of my eldest daughter and her husband, and the warm encouragement of my younger daughter, I finally found the motivation to begin.

Through my encounters with patients in the clinic, I continue to learn every day. Reflecting on each case and studying the mechanisms and clinical evidence behind treatments deepens my own understanding.
Looking back on patients’ symptoms and treatment processes has helped me refine my methods and improve outcomes.

Writing down personal reflections—those small but meaningful thoughts and emotions from daily life—has also become a quiet source of joy and comfort for me.

This blog is more than just a hobby. It is a meaningful journey where I look back on my life, organize my thoughts, and grow.
I hope that what I share here may offer help to some, and quiet resonance to others. And so, with care and gratitude, I continue to write.
