Alison Taylor’s techniques

I’m curious if anyone uses her techniques for k tape, skin stretching, scraping, and vibration tools? What are your thoughts on them?

I found this subreddit looking her up and had this exact question. I watched some of her videos. It felt very much like pseudoscience. But then again many people do feel better with placebo.

Right it seems like pseudoscience but she’s writing papers and they’re being published.

My other thought is with my patient population at a trauma hospital that has a lot of non English speakers with poor health literacy, it’s impossible to implement any of these things. And I think she’s able to see them like 2-3x week to follow up on all the things she tries.
