Criticism of Liebscher and Bracht: Pain experts without medical training?

According to a report from www.hessenschau.de, the self-proclaimed pain experts Liebscher and Bracht have promoted promising healing methods for pain in their books and online appearances. However, critics claim that their methods are misleading and the company has been warned several times by consumer advice centers. Despite this, the company still has millions of followers on social media platforms and a thriving web store. The consumer advice center recently issued another warning because Liebscher and Bracht's app also advertises inadmissible health promises.

The methods of Liebscher and Bracht were declared scientifically untenable by experts in orthopedics and physiotherapy. The critics claim that study results are not transparent and independent because they were carried out by company employees who have a financial interest. There is also a lack of demonstrable scientific results to support the claim that their method can cure osteoarthritis. In addition, the exercises and methods advertised are not innovative techniques, but have been used by physiotherapists for decades.

The impact of this misleading can be significant on both the market and the consumer. With large follower numbers and a thriving online store, consumers' trust in these false health claims could lead them to spend money on ineffective treatments and products. The warnings from the consumer advice center could lead to the reputation of the company and its products suffering greatly. Consumers could also take legal action against the company, which would result in financial losses. In addition, the company's negative image could adversely affect the entire market for alternative health products and treatments. It will be important for consumers to actively research products and offerings and seek expert advice before trusting such promises.
