Somatic Systems, Inc. Opens New Office in Phoenix, Arizona

NORTHAMPTON, MA — (Marketwire - August 21, 2008) — Somatic Systems, Inc. (SMAS - news) is pleased to announce they have opened a new office in the greater Phoenix area of Arizona. This is the company's first location in the Southwestern United States, and marks the beginning of a broader nationwide expansion process for Somatic Systems.

The new Phoenix location will serve as a dedicated sales office, which will enable low overhead while providing a presence for Somatic Systems in an as yet untapped regional market, as well as provide more direct and rapid access to surrounding markets such as California and the rest of the western United States. Sales personnel will be targeting hospitals and rehabilitation facilities as well as individual health care professionals, with the goal of expanding both Somatics Systems' professional training program (to produce additional certified practitioners of the company's proprietary Somatics pain management system) and its Somatics pain management clinic locations.

These two sectors are the foundation of much of the company's ambitious growth plans, and will be supplemented by increased sales in its third sector, retail self-help Somatics products. This growth may be dramatically enhanced by the new office's focus on selling Somatics pain management franchises. The franchise model provides an opportunity to extend Somatics' brand more rapidly — as well as meet surges in demand from the company's upcoming branding and marketing campaigns, including national television coverage this fall.

While this sales location is part of the company's long-range growth and business plans, the actual launch of the office was facilitated through meetings and strategic partnerships with shareholders in the company. Shareholders from the general public who invested in Somatic Systems became so impressed — both with the groundbreaking methods of the company's proprietary Clinical Somatics, and with its potential to revolutionize the health care industry — that they become instrumental in launching the office. "We are looking forward to a bold future of Somatics clinics across the country," stated Somatic Systems CEO Steven Aronstein. "We know that growth in Somatics comes from what a great product it is, and we are proud that the opening of this new office is a direct reflection of that greatness."
