This does not mean that for anyone else, stretching in itself is a "waste of time", or that if you stretch, this means you will need to go see a chiropractor.
Strawman. I did not stretching will make you need to see a chiroprator. You twisted my words around.
Two people here suggested that it is healthy for EVERYONE to stretch. Therefore, it is contingent on those making the claim to support it with evidence. The fact that something makes you "feel good" does not mean it is making you healthier. Eating ice cream makes me feel good, but if I did it constantly it could have a bad effect on my health.
Besides, I don't believe that stretching intrinsically makes people "feel good"; Perhaps it does for you, or perhaps you have convinced yourself that it does because you want to believe that. Either way, it doesn't make it true for everyone.

I didn't write that for your benefit.
You quoted me and responded directly. If you want to play games, please go somewhere else.

This is no game. This is a very public forum. All comments will be read by many others. In some instances I am responding directly to you as you are also directing your comments to me. Other times, it is just general information for anyone to read. I sometimes quote a comment to help others to link the line of thought. Many of the posts on this forum are not directed toward anyone in particular.

failed studies provide important statistical infomation, and hiding them is tantamount to research fraud. ALL accuratly performed studies should have to have their results entered into a database, so that as a scientific society we could have the best information.
Absolutely. Studies should be repeated, and if the results cannot be duplicated, those conclusions should be discarded. If researchers are not correctly following the scientific method, we should strive to correct that. But under no circumstances should we discard science altogether and subscribe to non-scientific , so called "alternative" belief systems.

I believe they are quacks practicing pseudoscience.
Once upon a time I was severely injured by a Chiropractor in Venice Beach. It cost me thousands of dollars out of pocket and exasperated the problem with each visit. This guy ruined my life. Once I stopped going I started to vastly improved.
Years later I got insurance and decided I wanted to see the extent of the healing. I needed a letter for an MRI and my insurance company forced me to get a letter before they would allow it. A "consultation" for the letter was $75.00. I show up in Downtown Long Beach and totally refused to let this guy perform any work. I told him I'm just here for the letter.
Later I see there are $400.00 in charges against my insurance for various work that was never performed. I called and demanded he explain. You would not believe the lies and bullshit that came out of this guys mouth. He literally "don't worry about it there's no reason to be concerned because you have insurance and they will pay". I reported him and it was later rescinded.
I used to be a lifelong surfer. So I dealt with many chiropractors. Never again. Not a single one did anything except crack my back and charge me $200.00. Not only that most of them made it worse. And the problems always went away when I took matters into my own hands and did the OPPOSITE of their advise which was "bed rest" and "relaxing". Instead I decided on swimming, yoga, jogging, mind-body meditations etc.
Chiropractors are quacks. What do you think?
