Did God invent "Maximized Living" Chiropractics?

The New Age Hijacking of Myofascial Release Therapy
DP writes: "I have had myofascial release done on my neck and other parts of my body by physical therapists in the past. Not by massage therapists, but actual PT's. . . .

Latest New Age Quackery Promises to Rewrite Your Quantum Hologram (whatever that means)
KE writes: "I know someone who is undergoing treatment from a holistic healer. During the sessions they use something called quantum therapy vials.

There is some talk of energy and while I am not entirely certain as to what happens at the appointment it seems like it may be something to avoid. Could you tell me if quantum therapy vials are new age?"
