Sammy and Gary discuss:
- The popular injury phrase RICE and why icing does more harm than good. How RICE came about and why it may not be the best advice for athletes to follow.
- What are ways that athletes can get active recovery and why is that the best way to stay healthy.
- The different machines with the pads that you place on your body such as TENS, STIM , EMS. What’s the difference and when should each be used.
- A video with Trevor Bauer where he talks about using the Marc Pro in between innings of a game and even sleeping with it on. Is this something the typical athlete could benefit from. What are those benefits.
