I had to laugh – - and was a little jealous – - when I received a press release today about how a new super-dooper mouth guard helped Los Angeles’ Dodger superstar Manny Ramirez have more “strength, balance and flexibility.”
How? Because the guard holds his jaw in a position that allows his jaw and neck muscles to completely relax.
The last time my neck relaxed was sometime in the late 1990s.
The magic apparently comes from a gizmo called The Pure Power Mouthguard (PPM), a technological wonder developed by Canadian dentist, Dr. Anil Makkar.
“Incredible,” is how Ramirez describes it. “I pop this thing in my mouth before I go to the plate, and man do I feel a difference. Just like that, I feel stronger, and more relaxed. And when you’re feeling relaxed and in tune with your body, you can do some damage… I just love it,” he says.
I’d love it too Manny. Wanna send your spare over to my office? I’m pretty sure that less neck and jaw strses will make me a FAR better writer. Right fellow scribes? LOL
