Performance Health Technologies, Inc. (PFMH.OB), an emerging leader in the development of innovative exercise and rehabilitation products, was recently cited in a number of high-profile national news media programs. The company’s proprietary Core:Tx® rehabilitation system is being profiled on a Medstar Advances (http://www.medstar.com) news segment that will be aired until the end of September.
Medstar Television, Inc. is considered the leading source for televised medical health information and news. Medstar employs a staff of award-winning medical journalists and news professionals who prepare innovative programs delivered to worldwide broadcast stations and cable networks. The segment featuring the Performance Health Core:Tx™ has been delivered to over 60 major U.S. and regional television networks.
The Core:Tx® for Professionals is a unique system that turns rehabilitation therapy into a game-like experience. The wireless system enhances patients’ recovery from neuromuscular conditions by adding an element of entertainment to the repetitive movements. Physical therapists and health professionals are able to customize the system to meet the rehabilitation needs of each patient. Some individuals are flexible but lack strength, while others have strength with limited mobility.
Pete Sanzio, a physical therapist at Performance Health, recently stated, “Finding out the right combination of limb control will help you prevent injury and excel at the sport you want to play, as well.”
The Core:Tx® is not only used for rehabilitation efforts but by a number of professional sports teams to prevent injuries and for strength training. A small, soapbar-sized wireless motion sensor can be attached to the user’s body to record individual limb motions and transmit the data back to a personal computer. This real-time feedback assists with neuromuscular training while strengthening muscles through an adjustable series of range-of-motion and effort requirements.
Performance Health’s products have the flexibility to help individuals who require rehabilitation and also those who want to improve their overall health. The market for those seeking to stay fit grows as the issues with healthcare continue to be uncertain. Once consumers learn about the benefits and entertainment value of the home-version of the Core:Tx®, Performance Health Technologies should be able to gain a significant share of the market.
