I have been using it with several patients over the past two weeks and found it to be a wonderful adjunct to their shoulder stabilization programs. It is like having an extra pair of hands: while the patient slowly and deliberately works his shoulder into the targeted range with the Rotater, I am able to use both of my hands to control the scapula so that we develop the correct "scapulo-humeral ratio" - eliminating elevating the shoulder and other undesirable substitution patterns. Patients relax while they are stretching - the only safe, effective way to stretch and feel in control of their stretching, gaining as much as a 50% increase to functional range of motion in just two weeks - therapist, patients and families are pleased with the results - the orthopedists will be also when check-up time comes. Thank you for your great tool! Hi, Chris and Scott,
