This may  not be a perfect analogy, but with some of the more controversial 
and/or  extremely popular approaches within rehab (such as cranial sacral 
therapy,  therapeutic touch) it seems like if you want to be competitive in the 
consumer  market, you feel pressure  to offer these things that people are asking 
 for, even though it may be a passing fad.



Absolutely.  And if you tell pts that it is not a proven  approach it sounds 
like you're making disparaging comments about these  other well-respected 
facilities and their therapists.  Of course, the other  slp's swear by it and say 
it's fabulous!
