This bonus content from our interview with Bob McAtee.  Springing off an idea from A Tooth from the Tiger's Mouth (a book by Tom Bisio) we broke into a discussion on the anti-icing movement and how we approach it with athletes.

This weeks guest is Bob McAtee, owner of Pro-Active Massage Therapy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. 

He is the author of Facilitated Stretching and Sport Massage for Injury Care.  We talk about some of the content from his books, his 38years in the sports massage world, plus a lot of our mainstay questions. Although it’s a bit of a long one, but it is jam-packed with information. 

Also  be sure to check out our bonus episode where Bob and I talk about the anti-icing movement.
