Greetings from the Philippine Sport Climbing Community!
On September 20-21, 2008, the Mall of Asia in Manila will be hosting its most awaited climbing event of the year --- the “Purisho Internacionale Bouldering Competition”.
For the past 3 years, the Purisho Cup has remained the most exciting bouldering competition in the Philippines, consistently challenging the strength, power and determination of every Filipino sport climber. With the skill, strength and technique of our national climbers improving by leaps and bounds, the Purisho Cup now brings the level of competition to the global arena. This year, the Philippines opens its doors to invite climbers all over Asia to participate in this event. The following countries are expected to participate:
Singapore
Malaysia
Indonesia
Thailand
Taipei
Hongkong
Japan
Korea
Australia
For 2 days, competitors will climb at least 3 bouldering routes per round of competition. Standard ICC rules will apply. Aside from the OPEN category where we will see the best of Asia compete, we will also be holding a NOVICE competition where climbers who have not joined their respective national climbing circuits are encouraged to join. A registration fee of $25 USD will be charged for each participant.
We would like to invite you to send your athletes to participate in this event. Your participation will surely make a great contribution to the growth of climbing in Asia and the fostering of brotherhood among our nation’s athletes.
We will send other details when the date of the event draws nearer. For any questions, you may contact the following:

Neck Pain and Office Work 14 June 08
If you work in an office, you may be one of 70% of computer users who
suffer from chronic neck pain.
If you are a woman, your chances of having work-related musculoskeletal
disorders, including neck problems are much greater.
Risk factors:
Psychological
- High job demands (e.g. high workload, pressure from deadlines)
- Low job control (reduced authority and ability to influence the job situation)
- Inadequate support from co-workers and supervisors
Physical
- Lack of regular physical activity
- Typing with force
- Keyboard and mouse use for more than six hours per day
- More than 2 hours on the computer without breaks
- Uncomfortable and poorly set up workstations
- History of neck trauma
- People with neck pain tend to be more sensitive to physical pressure, cold and heat.
Chronic pain heightens the response of the nervous system so that it takes a lower stimulus to produce pain.
Increased muscle tension with corresponding weakness and fatigue are common symptoms.
Treatment
A multi-modal approach has been found to be effective and includes:
- Strength and endurance training of the neck, shoulders and upper back
- Muscle re-education and postural correction
- Manual therapy – manipulation, mobilization, massage
- Ergonomic and work task modification
- Techniques such as stress management, relaxation training, job modification
