NORTHAMPTON, MA -- 12/05/07 --
Somatic Systems, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SMAS) is
pleased to announce that the company is targeting Major League Baseball as
part of its efforts to provide injury relief, rehab, and prevention for
professional athletes and teams. The company is in the beginning stages of
discussions with coaching personnel from two different East Coast teams to
present the benefits of the company's Clinical Somatics neuromuscular
treatments for reducing the risk of a number of musculoskeletal injuries
such as muscle tears, rotator cuff injuries, pulled hamstrings and calf
muscles, herniated disks, ligament injuries, tendonitis, and cartilage
damage.
Clinical Somatics is a groundbreaking technique retraining and
recalibrating overused or injured muscles through a simple series of
hands-on training sessions and prescribed exercises. The Clinical Somatics
process uses a series of movements that lengthen muscles and align bones
and joints back to their healthy state. These treatments are used with
injured athletes, and also to keep muscles and joints in their maximally
efficient condition, to improve athletic performance before or after
injury.
"This is an exciting opportunity for Somatic Systems and for professional
baseball. Players face thousands of injuries each year, hampering
performance, shortening careers, and costing teams and players millions of
dollars. In turn, millions of dollars are invested in injury
rehabilitation and prevention and ways to improve player performance.
Coaches are always looking for innovative new solutions, and we believe
that Somatics is just that perfect solution," stated Somatic Systems, Inc.
Chairman and CEO, Steve Aronstein.
Working with professional athletes is part of a growth strategy for Somatic
Systems that includes development of strategic relationships and larger
contracts with national institutions, including corporate clients as well
as the U.S. military and Veterans Administration.
