Welcome to office hours, I'm David Meltzer and we have a legend you've heard of cold therapy guys

0:17.9

haven't you? Well the reason you've heard of cold therapy and probably the reason he's taking

0:23.0

technology to the methodology which the first time I met him you would have never believed this guy

0:29.0
