CAN LOWER JAW POSITION IMPROVE ATHLETIC

                                                                      PERFORMANCE  

                                                                 

The objectives of following study explored the influence of the lower jaw position on athletic performance in elite athletes.  The method involved a repeated measures study comparing two lower jaw positions, the athlete's normal (habitual) bite and the lower jaw position when the muscles of mastication are at physiological rest

(PRP - physiological rest bite). 

Results:

On average the physiological rest bite provided an increase in:

         1.  lower body power 5.8%

         2.  upper body power 10%

         3.  hamstring flexibilty 14% 

         4.  balance and stability 4.8%

over the habitual bite

Conclusion: This study provides evidence of the need for further research to confirm if the lower jaw position can be optimized for athletic performance in athletes

               How A Mouthguard 

Could Improve Your Performance

            By Changing Your

 Skeletal and Muscle Physiology as well as your Airway Dynamics

 

Goal:

Can we Improve a High School Athletes Game Time Execution On-the-Field, On-the-Court,

On-the-Ice

 

For: Football, Field Hockey, Soccer, Ice Hockey, Basketball, Lacrosse, Baseball, Softball

If you have improved:

 

Strength, Balance, Flexiblity

as a result of:

Better Vertebral Alignment

Better Muscle Recruitment 

Better Muscle Contraction

Better Grip Strength

Better Body Symmtrey

Better Core Balance

Better Foot to Ground Platform

Better Flexiblity

Better Range of Motion

Better Jumping Ability

 

Enhance Oxygen Flow By An  Increased  Airway Space

Resulting in Better

Stamina and Endurance

 

It can give you that competitive edge to be a better athlete!

 

 

Can Mouthguards Impact Athletic Performance?

 

What these videos below show is that:

     1. The mouthguard as the only variable in the exercises is all that alters the athlete's ability to facilitate better these exercises.

      2. The mouthguard as the only variable in the exercises is all that is changing the skeletal and muscular physiology of the athlete.

We use a combination of MORA TMJ Appliance Theory and PRI MOOO Splint Appliance Neutral Theory Positioning Incorprated into a Type III Mouthguard taking into consideration:

Your Age: It works best we find if you are at least 16 1/2 years old

Dental Occlusion

TMJ

Body Asymmetry - Head,Shoulder, Hip &Pelvis Position

Vertebral Alignment - Postural Chain, OA and AA Space

Muscle Recruitment

Cranio-Mandibular-Cervical Relationship as it relates to           Posterior Rotation of the Cranium and Forward Head                                                                                                  Posture
