Bodywork and Manual Therapies

Hands-on techniques, whether practitioner-administered or self-applied. They range from physical therapy, which is standard care, to methods with no demonstrated mechanism at all — the category groups them by what is done to the body, not by whether it works, and each page reaches its own verdict.

A remedy is filed here by what it claims to do, not by a judgement that it works. This section deliberately covers practices whose own pages conclude they do not — read the page before the category name.
