I’m in a mom’s running group, and it is rife with pseudoscience. They often talk about going to a chiropractor, cupping, taping, and all the other usual suspects found in fitness. This is one I hadn’t seen before. This is spreading a lot of misinformation, and the writer is preying on pregnant people who are already saturated with misinformation. Fitness pseudoscience is one of the areas that really gets under my skin. – Jessika, Washington state
