MIAMI -- November 2, 2010 -- Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems, Inc. [NIMS](NIMU.OB) introduced its Exer-Rest® product line to the U.S. market and it is currently backed by 33 published peer-reviewed scientific studies that support the efficacy and safety of their uniquely powerful therapeutic approach -- Whole Body Periodic Acceleration (WBPA). Based on a patented technology called "Acceleration Therapeutics® (AT)," WBPA is a technique in which a patient's body is accelerated and decelerated, head to foot, in such a way that therapeutic effectiveness is derived naturally from the individual's own body.

Exer-Rest produces circulatory benefits similar to those achieved by moderate exercise without putting stress on the body. This is especially helpful for those who are unwilling or incapable of active exercise due to lifestyle choices and/or physical limitations. Users of the Exer-Rest relax on a mattress atop a motorized platform that traverses head to foot about half of an inch at a rate of 140 times per minute. This movement adds pulses to the user's natural pulse, which increases the release of beneficial mediators such as Nitric Oxide throughout the body's vasculature paths. This process, called "Pulsatile Shear Stress," aids the body's recovery from injury or illness by delivering the following benefits:

* Improved local circulation -- Individuals who don't regularly exercise, suffer from injury or live a sedentary lifestyle may benefit from the use of the Exer-Rest for improved circulatory health. Each 30 to 45 minute session on the Exer-Rest provides increased blood flow throughout the vasculature to revitalize the body.

* Temporary relief of aches and pains -- Many people experience reduced mobility and discomfort due to daily aches and pains that can occur for a variety of reasons (e.g., joint pain, muscle pain, pain due to injury). Exer-Rest provides temporary relief of aches and pains resulting in improved quality of life.
* Muscle relaxation -- Regular sessions on the Exer-Rest provide local muscle relaxation, which may be beneficial for prevention, recovery and rehabilitation of individuals of diverse ages and physical conditions.
* Relief from morning stiffness -- Using the Exer-Rest reduces "morning stiffness," the tightness in muscles and joints that trouble some people for hours after waking from a night's sleep.

Exer-Rest is a non-invasive, drug-free therapy designed for use by individuals who are physically fit, sedentary or incapable of an active lifestyle. Thirty-three peer-reviewed scientific publications to date have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of Exer-Rest in improving the quality of life of individuals over a wide range of ages and activity levels (studies available at the NIMS website www.nims-inc.com).
