Welcome to the Crossbeam Group

Finest blood vessels have minuscule valves preventing the blood to flow back. Small blood vessels also have the particularity to regain their form after being squashed for instance, thanks the elasticity of their walls.

When a pressure is exercised on a capillary vessel, blood will be ejected forwards (towards the heart). When pressure is released, the capillary will regain its form and thus create a kind of a vacuum, calling new fresh artery blood into the void. Should one repeat this operation rapidly, one can obtain a pumping phenomena bringing large quantities of blood into the muscles.

The pumping principle is more important if more muscles are simultaneously stimulated.

BMS system is a muscle stimulator. Muscles will retract and relax, according to a pre- defined procedure and therefore increase the flow of blood on the desired zone.

	How does BMS function ?	Finest blood vessels have minuscule valves preventing the blood to flow back. Small blood vessels also have the particularity to regain their form after being squashed for instance, thanks the elasticity of their walls. When a pressure is exercised on a capillary vessel, blood will be ejected forwards (towards the heart). When pressure is released, the capillary will regain its form and thus create a kind of a vacuum, calling new fresh artery blood into the void. Should one repeat this operation rapidly, one can obtain a pumping phenomena bringing large quantities of blood into the muscles. The pumping principle is more important if more muscles are simultaneously stimulated. BMS system is a muscle stimulator. Muscles will retract and relax, according to a pre- defined procedure and therefore increase the flow of blood on the desired zone.
	BMS Frequencies and their use ?	Research proved that the most efficient stimulation is obtained with a 20 to 35 Hz vibration. A relaxing and warming effect is obtained a frequencies ranging from 18 to 20 Hz
		Use : muscle warming before effort - relaxation - prevention.
		The maximum pumping effect is seen at frequencies ranging from 20 to 25 Hz
		Use : treatment - rehabilitation - mechanical trauma - joint and post operating contractions.
		After 25 Hz the blood flow does not increase anymore but the benefit effect on mechanical receptors continues. As from 28 Hz, the effect on the central nervous system is recognised.
		Use : treatment of pain symptoms.
	Treatments ?	Maximum treatment time : 10 minutes Recommended treatment time : 2 minutes are enough ! Treatments are usually made in 4 to 6 sessions during the first week (every 2 days recommended), followed by a rest period of 2 days. Then another series of 4 to 6 sessions (if needed !) followed by a resting time of 1 week. The use of our BMS-XB 1 machine is restricted to trained and qualified personnel. Most treatment will have a much better results if these are practised by therapists who can, jointly with the machine, act by local massaging and manipulations.
	Historical Information :	During the 1980's, a group of Russian scientists developed a program to support the physical preparation of cosmonauts and also improve the preparation of top athletes, particularly in disciplines demanding much strength (gymnastics, ice hockey). The results with BMS were so spectacular, that its use was generalised to almost all athletic disciplines. Moreover, ballet dancers and post operation medicine also introduced BMS in their usual practise. At the beginning of 1990, Prof. Nasarov, a former top gymnast and one of the founders of the BMS concept, introduced his system in Germany. Rapidly trainers and sport medical doctors realised that BMS, selective use would considerably reduce rehabilitation and recuperation time among injured athletes. Today, over 300 medical practises in the medical and sport fields are using BMS. Crossbeam Group integrated most recent research results in the BMS-XB 1 machine, which is made in Switzerland.
