WHAT MY DENTIST TAUGHT ME ABOUT STRETCHING
DENTISTS. They are all the same. Nice people, pearly smiles, friendly. The kind of people you'd like to hang out with...
... except for that SOB who had me in the chair.
The nice ones, all love to tell the same joke.
Floss the ones you want to keep.
Later in life, much later than I'll admit, I hacked the toothbrushingflossing chore...
... which is what we must do to maintain things.
But, that's not what I learned about recovery.
Or, is it?
Brushingflossing never ends,
so I grab my toothbrush, put on paste and snag the floss...
... then I get into the shower.
By the time I'm done brushingflossing I'm ready to get out.
Stretchingrecovering never ends either,
so I put on shorts, grab the hypervolt...
... and watch YouTube for 30ish minutes.
Because...
... I stretch the muscles I want to keep highly functioning.
About that SOB.
I was 11. Parents recently divorced. Feeling alone. Life sucked...
... and Dr. Turd hits a nerve while numbing.
Not once.
Not twice.
Three (3) freakin' times.
No apologies.
No timeouts.
Most physical therapists are real nice, pearly smiles, friendly people, too...
... but, what if Dr Turd has a sibling?
Stretch those muscles,
hit 'em with the hypervolt or something similar, get a massage...
... if you wanna keep 'em ready for Ripping On RaceDay!
