INTRODUCTION

Biomechanical Muscle Stimulation (BMS®) is a method of muscular regeneration and general health maintenance, which utilizes a rhythmic neuromuscular stimulation. It is being used with great success in sports training, muscle rehabilitation and in helping to correct cases of restricted body mobility.

BMS® uses neither electrotherapy nor chemical substances. Rather it employs mechanical vibration, at specific frequencies and amplitudes, applied to a stretched or tightened muscle. The vibration, created by special machines, stimulates the muscle and causes a longitudinal vibration of the muscle.

BMS® can be used to help regain joint mobility in various types of restrictions of movement including: · degenerative (joints, discs, tendons) · post injury (sport accidents, work and car accidents) · muscle weakness · muscle shortness Used by professional trainers, in combination with conventional methods, BMS® equipment and methodology have achieved spectacular results. In Russia, the BMS® head machine has been used for "face lifting" with such success that it is gradually replacing surgery. Plastic surgeons also use the machines to smooth scar tissue and to avoid scar tissue growth. Deep muscle fibers react quickly and intensely to the exceptional effectiveness of the BMS® method. BMS® has also met with great success in the fields of cosmetics and fitness. Optimal Life USA will apply its efforts and show its effectiveness in the following cosmetic and fitness areas: 1. facial muscle stimulation 2. BMS trainers in Germany have enormous success with cellulite 3. bodyshaping 4. fitness and strength 5. muscle stretching 6. restricted range of motion 7. instability of joints 8. atrophy 9. muscle problems related to sports

THE INVENTION

Professor Vladimir Nasarov, one of the leading sports and biomechanical scientists in the former Soviet Union, was first to describe the BMS® method. He was an active sportsman, member of the Soviet gymnastic team and occupied a chair for sports biomechanics at the State College in Minsk. He introduced the BMS® method to competitive sports, ballet and medicine in the former USSR. All Soviet World champions and Olympic winners in gymnastics since 1979 have been using BMS® in their training. The Soviet cosmonauts were able to spend 420 days in space with the aid of BMS®. In 1990, Professor Nasarov brought the BMS® method to Austria, where different State Universities, hospitals, institutes for sports medicine and other diverse fitness and cosmetic facilities began using it in their programs. In 1991 it was introduced in Germany.
