It's right up J.D.'s alley

bostonherald.com - The hyperbaric chamber has been replaced by a bowling ball.

J.D. Drew, who has continuously strived to remain healthy via somewhat alternative medical remedies, took a different route when attempting to keep his balky back in order this offseason.

“Normally I go through a little thing with my lower back. I injured it when I was with St. Louis in 2001, and usually it gives me a little bit of trouble,” said the Red Sox [team stats] outfielder. “I actually took up bowling in the offseason to see if I could keep my lower back strong and it worked out pretty well.”
