Bodybuilders, Golfers, GIRD and the Rotater
March 24, 2010
I want to thank several people who are passionate about using the Rotater and spreading the word to their friends as well.
James DiMuzio – Bodybuilder and Personal Trainer
James is an accomplished bodybuilder and highly sought after personal trainer in San Diego. James was kind enough to include the Rotater in the intro of his recent video where he describes his back and hamstring training. Note – as you’ll see in this video, James is not afraid to lift some very heavy weights – and this is while dieting for his most recent competition!
Tanya Colucci – Personal Trainer, Corrective Exercise Specialist, and Performance Enhancement Specialist
Tanya Colucci - M.S., NASM-CPT, CES, PES
Tanya is working with a new golf client who is training for the pro tour. Among the many areas Tanya is addressing is shoulder rotation mobility – and she’s chosen to use the Rotater to help her client’s internal and external shoulder rotation mobility!
After accessing her client’s physical condition (Overhead Squat Assessment, Single Leg Squat Assessment, Modified Squat Assessments, Thoracic spine mobility testing, shoulder ROM testing), Tanya has developed an extensive program to help her client reach his goal of becoming a professional golfer – here’s a link to her program & progress: GOLF: How to improve your swing! Part 1
Dr. Jeff Cubos – Strength and Conditioning Specialist, holds the International Chiropractic Sports Science Diploma and is currently the ONLY chiropractic sports specialist in the Greater Edmonton Area.
Dr. Jeff Cubos
Dr. Cubos is passionate about working with elite athletes and believes that knowledge is the key to sports injury management, athletic development and performance.
Dr. Cubos recently posted an article on his blog titled – Are You Sleeping on the “Sleeper” Stretch? In this article, Dr. Cubos questions the current practice of prescribing the Sleeper Stretch for athletes with Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit (GIRD) of the shoulder.
Dr. Cubos includes several alternative glenohumeral positions that significantly stretch the posterior capsule of the shoulder. Two of these strategies include the use of the Rotater ( see pictures ).
Trainer “Wowed” by the Rotater
March 3, 2010
“I’ve been in the strength & conditioning, fitness, bodybuilding, and training game for a while now – 16+ years. Needless to say, I’ve been around the block a time or two. I’ve had some shoulder issues in the past, and have fixed it all on my own.
Working Class Trainer - Matt Wiggins
I’ve still got very strong shoulders, and rehab/prehab work such as banded pull-aparts and cuban presses are a regular part of my workouts, as well as what I recommend to others. However, my shoulder flexibility still isn’t quite what I’d like.
Then I got The Rotater.
In a word – “wow”. By doing nothing more than some of the basic stretching exercises, my Range of Motion (on both internal and external rotation on both shoulders) had increased by the 3rd day.
My shoulders feel looser and healthier than they have in a long time. What a great product!”
