THE GROOVI-NEXERCISER [NEW]
FINALLY… CERVICAL REHABILITATION THAT IS FUNCTIONAL!

When rehabilitating a patient following a neck injury (eg whiplash), we strengthen the Deep Neck Flexor muscle groups & using isometric holding type exercises.
BUT –what then? Tools or exercise assists to progress rehabilitation to being Functional, Isotonic & Eccentric are much needed.
 
The ‘GROOVI-NEXERCISER’ fills this gap!
• Strengthen the neck muscles THROUGH THE FULL RANGE OF MOVEMENT IN ALL DIRECTIONS.
• Work the Stabiliser muscle groups ECCENTRICALLY.
• GRADE / VARY the isotonic resistance from easy (Yellow tubing) for the patient recovering from neck injury to extremely hard (Blue tubing) for the contact sportsman.
• Strengthening INTEGRATES both Deep & Superficial Neck muscles. Rehabilitating with the Nexerciser closely replicates the kind of motion your neck goes through during a day of work & leisure.
• Rehabilitation can now meet the patients FUNCTIONAL DEMANDS.
• EMPOWER THE PATIENT to take responsibility for his own rehabilitation and strengthen functionally at HOME.
