    Much better - so many of my clients have struggled with the "minimal manipulations" bit.

    Lengthy response coming up!

    If this is about my body being able to 'do the basics' as a means of my survival, then, for me the language in the descriptor should reflect this.

    My current personal experience is that I would say I am able to physically care for myself and I am conscious or my internal system, yet i am currently unable to get much left and right rotation of my neck. So for me, I am unable to perform the minimal manipulation of turning my head left or right and I do have concern about my body’s internal systems’ ability to change this.
    So my suggestion would be

    To be concerned about your body (internally and externally) and its ability to perform basic functions
