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!”

Shoulder Rehab Patient Exceeds PT’s Expectations

January 27, 2010

I love to ski – the snow, the view, the speed, the excitement – and the danger.  Yea, skiing is dangerous.  In 1996 I severely separated my shoulder resulting surgery and nice six inch scar to remind me to watch others as well as myself.

Shoulder injuries can result from falling while skiing

That leads me to this email:

…The Rotater is Great

“Gentlemen;

4 words some it up. The Rotater is great.

I originally tore my rotator cuff and broke the head of the humerus skiing in April.

3 weeks after surgery in June to repair my rotator cuff, (supraspinatus tendon) I started PT. after 5 weeks of PT my therapist said I was “falling behind”. My external rotation was terrible and not improving at all. I searched the internet for help. I stumbled across your website and proceeded to make my own version of the Rotater. Having only one good arm, it didn’t come out so good. I ordered your product and in the past 4 months I have surpassed my therapist expectations. He “released” me on Dec. 30, 09.

Great product, and thank you very very much!!!”

What does Lee Taft think about the Rotater?

“I recently received the Rotater in the mail and had the opportunity to use it for a couple weeks. I was amazed at how it not only improved my general range of motion but it improved my ability to perform strength exercises. The hidden secret to the Rotater is when used with more functional patterns like standing in a split stance I can incorporate my entire kinetic chain into the movement. I strongly encourage anyone looking to safely improve the range of motion of their shoulders for better function and performance to use the Rotater.”
