A Pure Power Mouthguard can help you get that cutting edge that can take you over the top.
Do you feel that you've hit a ceiling in your competitive game? You know, the point where you just can't seem to get past. Whether it's your strength workout, your golf swing, or your sense of being just a step behind on the footfall field.
What if you could break through that ceiling? How would that make you feel?
We all strive to perform at our best, at our optimum ability but one aspect of our Physiology that helps us perform at our peak that we often overlook is our postural alignment.
Optimal postural alignment is the key to better balance, strength, coordination, speed accuracy and precision. Correct postural alignment begins in the head where the lower jaw is positioned. In 90% of the population, the lower jaw is not in its optimal position. This incorrect posture of the jaw can lead to a "domino effect" throughout the body.
Commonly, facial, neck and shoulder muscle become sore and require more energy to use. The use of more energy to keep these muscles functional leads to quicker muscle fatigue, imbalance and reduced strength.
But what if there was a simple way to reposition your jaw into optimal postural position and give you better balance, run that extra mile, swim those extra laps, and improve upper body strength to improve your golf game?
There is such a way and it's called the Pure Power Mouthguard. This is no ordinary mouth guard you buy in a store. This specialized mouthguard is extraordinary in its, purpose and function. It combines the impact absorbing abilities of a traditional athletic mouthguard while maintaining your jaw in the optimal postural position. That position is usually with the jaw slightly down and forward thereby releasing tension in the face shoulders and neck areas. By helping to properly align and relax the facial muscles, the Pure Power Mouthguard can help improve muscle recruitment, increases your airway for greater oxygen intake, and back alignment. The result: improved balance and strength.
Every person has a different baseline, like a Jaw fingerprint, say Dr. Anil Makkar developer of the Pure Power Mouthguard. The trick is to find the best position that will give you the most balance and endurance that you can use to optimize your ability in your game.
Creating the custom mouthpiece involves using a computer and a TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator) machine to track the jaw and muscles to find the most comfortable and relaxed position for the mandible. That position is usually down and forward which opens up the airway and reduces tension on muscles and nerves.
The procedure takes about 90 minutes and then the data is sent to a laboratory where the mouthpiece is made to exact specifications.
Professional athletes including Jake Delhomme, Shaun Alexander, Damon Huard (football) Derrick Walser (hockey), Garth McAdoo (golf), Josh Strickland (MMA fighter), Joe Lowden (Marathon runner) and Dawn Helm (equine) have all benefited from the PPM with improved balance, strength and performance.
