Who we serve and why
CerviFit® Clients
Military
Available on the OHWS project manager’s approved contract list and currently in use at USAF bases in the U.S. and Joint Strike Bases in Europe, the patented CerviFit® provides isotonic/isokinetic resistance relieving musculoskeletal pain and improving both neck strength and function. In internal studies, neck strength over a 10-week period was improved by 25-28% while reducing or eliminating cervical neck pain.1
Workers Compensation
According to the Department of Labor’s Bureau of Occupational Safety and Health, 33% of all workers’ injury and illness cases in 2013 were caused by repetitive strain injuries, also known as musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Repetitive stress injuries (RSIs) go by different names in different states. Some states refer to them as overuse injuries. Others refer to them as cumulative trauma, although this category also includes other injuries that may develop over time from repeated exposure. The neck is susceptible to RSI and CerviFit has been shown to aid in the rehabilitation of RSI.
Auto Accidents
The sudden acceleration-deceleration force transmitted to the neck in whiplash injury can lead to persistent neck pain and disability. According to ODG (Office of Disability Guidelines), soft tissue neck injuries when immobilization is used can delay recovery. The CerviFit home therapy program provides a combination of muscle stretching and re-education restoring and improving function and reducing pain and discomfort.
Physicians
CerviFit® is a patented, evidenced based, patient user experience centric and outcome driven rehabilitation tool. As a physician, you are busy with life, family and the practice. Providing a high-level standard of care to your patient’s is paramount for a number of reasons.

LCDR Rob “Rocko” Ceravolo, USN (Ret)
United States Navy Fighter, 2009 Weapons School Graduate (Top Gun)
After more than 14 years of active carrier duty and having graduated in 2009 from Fighter Weapons School (Top Gun), the years had taken a toll on my neck and subsequently left residual neck pain and headaches. After using the CerviFit over the course of the past year, I have seen a noticeable reduction in neck pain and headache frequency. I wish I had the opportunity to train with CerviFit while serving in the US Navy. CerviFit is a much-needed piece of equipment in the US Navy’s arsenal.
Sgt. Eric R.
Fmr USMC; Miami Beach, FL
As a former Sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corp tasked with handling heavy M777 Howitzer munitions in the heat of battle, I suffered from neck pain and headaches from years of heavy and awkward lifting. After being prescribed the CerviFit by my Neurologist and placed on a 10-week home therapy conditioning regimen, some of the most impressive results I have seen came in the form of no longer dealing with horrible and debilitating headaches as well as a massively improved range-of-motion.
Kayla R.
Miami, FL
The radiation treatment I received for my neck cancer weakened my neck tremendously. Utilizing the CerviFit for a few minutes every day for the past few months has strengthened my neck considerably. There has also been a substantial reduction in the tingling in my hands due to nerve damage from the chemotherapy. I plan on using the CerviFit for the rest of my life to keep my neck strong and healthy.
