Aren’t a lot of top athletes into therapies related to this?
1 comments

Top athletes of all sorts seem to try treatments that aren’t scientifically proven to actually work and yet they continue being employed.

Compression, dry needling, tape, and so on. And despite scientists rolling their eyes, the athletes seem happy.

As am I. And quite frankly, that’s good enough for me. Though I won’t claim it’s not placebo. And I won’t claim it will work for everybody.

In sports where there’s little to no money to be made, you’ll find even more of these anecdotes. It’s quite amusing, really.
