Somatic Systems, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SMAS) is pleased to announce
their upcoming new class of the Clinical Somatics Professional
Training Program(TM). The class will begin June 20, 2009, and
applications are already being accepted.
Students in the Professional Training Program are trained in
Somatic Systems' proprietary Clinical Somatics pain management
system. Graduates are qualified to work in clinical settings and
exercise and training environments to help with chronic pain,
injuries, and joint and muscle problems, as well as help athletes,
dancers, and others to improve flexibility and physical strength,
agility, and performance. Certification in Clinical Somatics also
enables practitioners to work in any of Somatic Systems' clinic
locations nationwide.
Somatic Systems Institute's Training Program is conducted over
three semesters, totaling 500 hours, which are broken down into
intensive 9-day modules to provide maximum flexibility. The
innovative scheduling maximizes professional development in limited
time, and simultaneously enables students to participate in the
training while remaining in their current jobs or interning in a
clinical setting such as Somatic Systems' clinics. Internships can
accelerate the students' training process, enabling Somatic Systems
to aggressively expand access to Somatics services as demand
increases.
Somatic Systems has been engaged in ongoing discussions with the
US military about providing their proprietary Clinical Somatics
treatments to the entire population of service personnel, veterans,
and dependents. With over 70 million people in this population, and
with approximately half of all returning veterans reporting
musculoskeletal pain-related problems and symptoms that are the
specialties of Clinical Somatics, the company expects the need for
their practitioners to grow exponentially in the coming year.
The Clinical Somatics Professional Training Program is Somatic
Systems' highest revenue product, with a tuition price of $12,000
per student. Additionally, professional training students generate
significant growth in consumer awareness and sales of Somatic
Systems and the company's other products. Training enrollment has
increased by approximately 50% each year since the program began.
The company expects tuition prices and other revenue to increase as
the program earns additional certifications and accreditations,
including NCBTMB certification to enable national CEU credits for
bodyworkers as well as Masters Program accreditation.
Leading up to the new training program, Somatic Systems is
launching a national promotional tour. Faculty and other
spokespeople for the training program will travel to strategic
parts of the country to present educational workshops for
prospective training students, including physical therapists,
orthopedic physicians, chiropractors, and massage therapists.
Workshops have been a highly successful strategy for recruiting new
trainees and increasing enrollment.
The promotional appearances will further Somatic Systems'
enhanced marketing campaigns and new branding efforts currently
being launched by the company. These activities -- combined with
the dramatically increased exposure of Somatic Systems through
television and other media appearances scheduled for this fall as
well as strategic high profile relationships -- are expected to
grow the company's revenues and consumer presence considerably.
"There has never been a more exciting time to begin a career in
Clinical Somatics. We are seeing awareness of Somatics increase
like never before, and unprecedented opportunities arise for
expansion worldwide. The world will need a wave of new
practitioners to serve this growing demand, and we look forward to
providing that," stated Somatic Systems CEO Steven Aronstein.
