UFC fighters believe in weird hammer therapy

[lecter]

So this guy Dr. Beau Hightower apparently works with Winkeljohn and is using a hammer to 'adjust' people

Here's him hammering Karate Hottie


and Overeem


Dodson demonstrates an 'interesting' technique


Joe Rogan doesn't buy into it


Cowboy


Diego


Big Pig


Holly and Brunson

Smith


Claudia


idk it's obviously up to them but looks like snake oil to me
I'm sure we have a lot of highly qualified medical doctors here, any comments?

Btw, interesting that he says Overeem is 100% healthy and in great condition in one post, then he states that he was very worried about Overeem fighting in another post.

Leslie Smith looked like Jake Shields for a second there. Anyway this is just another fad.

Obviously it's horseshit but if the fighters believe it, then it helps. Placebo effect is real. As long as it's not doing them harm I don't see the problem if it makes them think they feel better.

I am a construction worker and I have hit myself with a hammer countless times. I am not a fan.

I'd love to hammer Holly, Michelle and Claudia...

 

[g*r*b]

I'm astonished...that there's a crackpot medical theory that Rogan DOESN'T buy into.

 

[tasticles]

hammers are great training tools. every time they fuck up, you smash one of their fingers with a hammer. I promise they will do it right and tell the truth. Hammer therapy works

 

[Mr. Danger Waffles]

They should try Ilir Latifi

 

[les elroy]

Jesus christ... that's so fucking stupid....
And waterson:
2/10
Would not hammer

 

[skolar182]

Don't really care how weird something looks. If it helps and if it works, then it's worth it.

 

[BBMN]

Yea.... if a doctor asks you to pose with them and hold one of their tools for a photo-op, that's not a good doctor.

 

[Apollo33]

Is this like Mike Brolce 2.0 boom

 

[Drenalin]

Its all fun & games until someone gets hurt

 

[UPAZWITTS]

That technique is so 80's.

 

[Not Tuf]

I saw a chiropractor who used a device to do something similar. It was electronically set to a certain pressure of impact though.

I'm astonished...that there's a crackpot medical theory that Rogan DOESN'T buy into.

What crackpot ones does he endorse?

The only unusual things I've heard him advocate for are not really crackpot - intermittent fasting, and stem cell injections are points of injury.

 

[CroCopsLHK]

I want to hammer the Karate Hottie

 

[guard_passer]

complete pseudoscience bullshit. fighters cant complain about pay when they waste money on this
