Bodybuilders, Golfers, GIRD and the Rotater

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!

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 ).
