The origin of muscle pain and the impact of MMB

The programme is for people involved in computer terminal work. The workout aims to prevent and cure occupational diseases including tension neck, head ache, join pain, nerve changes in arms, sleeping difficulties, stress.  

Static muscle work and improper positions at work will decrease metabolism in muscles. It will create lactic acid and it will chemically cause pain. The pain increases tension, when the muscles try to avoid pain. Tensed muscles cause changes in the position of joints which affects the mobility and the positions. It may cause head ache and decreased mobility of the neck.

Stress causes tension to muscles thru the functions of autonomic nerve system. Thus the cause of pain is not only in mechanical, chemical functions or lack of motion.

MMB is break workout programme, which may help in recovering blocked muscles and nerves, joints which are stiff to move can be better. By moving your muscles you will get new fresh blood to the congested muscles. By stretching your stiff muscles, there will develop momentarily space in joints, causing metabolism to recover. By stretching congested nerves there will occur increased metabolism in nerves, which may help in tingling and numb fingers.

Proper breathing method greately enhances motions. Breathing inwards using the diaphragm, and outbreathing using appr. twice as much time gives relaxing signal to the autonomous nerve system.

In preventing computer terminal users' diseases it is important to look at breaks and break workout. Regular breaks and physical exercises in particular will decrease muscular pains of the workers. The efficiency of the workers will increase and thus the achievements in the whole office will improve. Some strecthing and muscular exercises can be performed also during the work, e.g. during phone calls.
