I am the first to state a lot of this stuff is complete rubbish and often it just helps people relax (placebo effect) and that in turn makes them think it works. However some of this stuff (art and massage etc) can have a great effect. Your logic is off when you put everything in the same bracket. It's like the guys on here who state all supplements are bullshit which is also nonsense. Some things are bullshit and others work. What difference does it make if someone is a pro athlete or not. Some non pro's destroy their bodies on a daily basis. That could be training, cardio, hiking, skating, boxing, wrestling etc etc. Some guys on here are training to failure daily and doing hours of cardio. Massage and art etc 100% work. Have you actually had any of this stuff done? Pro's in the 90 and 00's didn't do any of this so it must be pointless? That is simply a time factor and most of this stuff didn't exist. Now sure a lot of it is complete crap and people do overcomplicate things at times but that is besides the point. Jay Cutler actually does this (art, massage etc) more than pretty much any pro and he said at one point he was spending $1000 per week on treatments. Now that is obviously overkill but regular massage/therapy sessions can make a massive difference.
