Reliability Tier3
Reliability tier 3: a continuously community-edited tertiary reference with no formal peer review process, suitable for citable, checkable factual claims but not treated as authoritative on genuinely contested points. NotesWikipedia's article on sobada, consulted 2026-08-13. Useful here for the two recognized forms of the practice, prenatal sobada performed by midwives and general therapeutic sobada performed by sobadores, and for the tension between biomedical discouragement and supportive recent research on prenatal massage.
