Somatic Systems, Inc. Plans Denver Expansion

NORTHAMPTON, MA — (Marketwire - October 7, 2008) — Somatic Systems, Inc. (SMAS - news) announced that it is currently in talks to expand operations into the Denver and Colorado Springs, Colorado area. The company is planning a series of Somatics clinics and other Somatics services in the Denver metropolitan area to create a strong presence and availability in that region.

Somatic Systems has been engaged in the early stages of a nationwide rollout of its chain of proprietary Somatics pain relief clinics, which provide unprecedented relief from pain and injuries, even in many cases where conventional physical therapies, surgeries, and other treatments have failed. Additionally, the company has been focusing on discussions with the US military to provide Somatic services to military personnel and families as a key growth strategy.

The Denver-Colorado Springs region is a hub of activity for the US military, with over ten military bases, installations, and institutions, serving the Army and Air Force and their support agencies, as well as multiple Veterans Affairs hospitals. Long-term growth of Somatics services for the US military, as well as short-term implementation of Somatics pain care programs to help the government meet its new requirements under this year's Military Pain Care Act of 2008 and Veterans Pain Care Act, will be facilitated by Somatic Systems being located in the heart of this kind of hub.

"We have already begun reviewing Somatics practitioner candidates and strategies for rolling out in this region," stated Somatic Systems CEO Steven Aronstein. "We look forward to additional discussions with key military personnel and are very excited about the possibilities, and about the opportunities to help our troops and veterans find relief from crippling chronic pains."

Denver, the state capital, offers many strong additional benefits that can provide tremendous synergy for Somatic Systems' growth plans and other goals. At almost 600,000 people in Denver and 3 million in the greater Denver-Aurora-Boulder metropolitan area, the city is the heart of the 17th most populous US metropolitan area -- with the tenth largest business district nationwide. The area is home to many government agencies, with the distinction of having more federal workers than anywhere other than Washington, D.C. The region also offers many other favorable economic conditions, including one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation.
