Biotonix also made its first incursion in the European fitness market with the closing of a deal with Club Med Gym, a French fitness leader. Finally, as we continue to advance our orthotics R&D program, we will also strive to improve our product distribution in the health markets through partnerships, opening of new international markets, and potential acquisitions," she concluded.

GolfPrint™

According to Golf Québec and the Fédération Québécoise de Golf, over 1,000,000 Quebecers played at least one golf game in 2009 and over 600,000 played at least five times. Out of the 381 listed golf clubs in Quebec and the Ottawa region, 270 are members of Golf Québec.

GolfPrint™ assesses static musculoskeletal position to identify a golfer's postural deviations. It then connects their impact directly with key golfing factors such as strength, shot precision and consistency, and generates a muscle-by-muscle customized corrective exercises program. Following the 6-week corrective exercises program will help the golfer improve his game, especially swing strength, approach shot precision and overall performance consistency toward ultimately lowering his handicap on the golf course.

The solution was developed in collaboration with University de Montréal's department of kinesiology and Daniel Langevin CPGA, Head Coach of CPGA Quebec zone Golf-Études program, University of Montréal's Carabins Golf teams and Performance Golf Academy.

"Golfers are always eager to find new ways to improve their performance. Make them work on basic posture and they will improve aspects of their game in ways they never before imagined," said Daniel Langevin CPGA.
