Matt and Andrea tackle a question we get all the time: how do I recover faster? Are all those things we see on our algorithms helping or hurting us? Muscle scrapers, massage guns, compression, you name it, you can buy it. Are they placebos or the real deal? Want your buy/sell proposition on the next episode? Email us at [email protected]!
