SRS Insight: Texas Trip

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

Spinal Rehab Solutions founder and CEO Steven Fontana travels to Texas this week to conduct two in-office trainings and to do some research into some new bracing product we will soon be bringing on line. None of the bracing will replace the SR 500 of course. The SR 500 is the backbone of our company and is the only brace in the world like it.

The bracing Steven is looking into bringing on board is for knees, wrists, ankles and the like.

“We are always looking to expand and we are excited about broadening our product offerings by expanding our line of braces,” states Fontana.

We wish Steven a safe and productive trip to Texas and back…and as promised we won’t tell anyone that the real reason he is going is to watch the Cowboys take on the Redskins this Sunday. Man is he ever going to be upset when he finds out the game is being played at Washington!
