The CerviFit was proven not only in an internal 44-patient study, but by an independent Air Force study which was published in the Military Medicine Journal.
CerviFit® Benefits:
CerviFit® is a patented revolutionary device designed specifically for neck strengthening and rehabilitation. In a recently published independent United States Air Force study, male F35 pilots from Eglin AFB (training with the CerviFit) demonstrated a significant increase of 55.7% in Cervical Endurance Hold (CEH) while F-16 pilots from Luke AFB utilizing the Ringside device exhibited a 34.5% increase.
- Targeted Strengthening: CerviFit focuses on the key muscles that stabilize the neck, allowing you to build strength in areas that are critical for performance and injury prevention.
- Customizable Resistance: The CerviFit offers adjustable resistance levels, making it suitable for various fitness levels. This adaptability allows users to progressively increase difficulty, challenging themselves.
- Ease of Use: The CerviFit is completely self-contained. The patented design does not require an external attachment such as a band or cable. This convenience encourages consistent use, which is vital for effective training.
- Injury Rehabilitation: For soldiers recovering from neck injuries, CerviFit provides a safe way to rehabilitate and regain strength. Its controlled environment helps reduce the risk of re-injury during recovery.
Facts of Active-Duty Injuries
According to health.mil the official website of the military health system, "Department of Defense active duty service members require medical treatment for injuries almost 5 million times each year (for around 1.5 million individual injuries). Injuries cost millions of lost duty and training days, and billions of dollars each year." ¹
MSK (Musculo-Skeletal) specifically neck/back account for the highest number of injuries affecting you as an active service person.
KEY FACTS:
- Injuries are the leading reason for military medical visits across Services.
- DOD Active-duty Service members require medical treatment for injuries almost 5 million times each year (for around 1.5 million individual injuries).
- There are 2 to 4 times more medical visits for injuries as the next most common reason which is behavioral and mental health.
- Injuries degrade force readiness through millions of lost duty and training days and billions of dollars annually.
- Majority (>2/3) of military injuries are musculoskeletal (MSK) cumulative mictrotraumatic (overuse) injuries.
What is a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN)?
A letter of medical necessity is a document written by a healthcare provider to justify a specific treatment, device, or service for a patient. It explains why the prescribed intervention is essential for the patient’s health, detailing the diagnosis, treatment plan, and expected health benefits. Often required by insurance companies to approve coverage, this letter provides evidence that the requested service or product is medically necessary for the patient’s recovery or quality of life. It supports claims for treatments that might otherwise be considered elective or non-essential by insurers.
Enhancing Performance
And Readiness As the Air Force study illustrates, incorporating CerviFit into a military training program can lead to enhanced physical readiness. A well-strengthened neck improves posture, balance, and overall body mechanics. This translates to better performance in physically demanding tasks, whether it’s maneuvering through challenging terrains or executing tactical drills.
The Long-Term Benefits
Investing time in neck strengthening with tools like CerviFit not only enhances immediate performance but also contributes to long-term health. Reducing the risk of neck injuries can decrease downtime, ensuring that soldiers remain operational and ready for duty. Additionally, a strong neck supports overall spinal health, which is crucial for maintaining agility and flexibility in various military scenarios.
Conclusion
Neck strengthening is an essential aspect of physical training for active military personnel. The CerviFit offers a specialized, effective means to develop neck strength, reduce injury risks, and enhance overall performance. By prioritizing neck health, military members can improve their resilience and readiness, ultimately supporting their mission and well-being in demanding environments. Investing in neck strengthening today can lead to a more capable and durable military force tomorrow.
