Steve McGranahan is a big, strong dude, who bills himself as the “World’s Strongest Redneck“. After watching some of his crazy lifting stunts like:
Using the Rotater for Shoulder Rehab and Shoulder Prehab
“The Rotator is a great product! I use it for rehab and warming up shoulders. The Rotator is prefect for lifetime fitness of the shoulder or for the weekend golfer. Follow Chris’ program and bye bye pain. Thank you Chris for this great invention.”
Steve McGranahan, The World’s Strongest Redneck
We sent the Rotater to Steve a couple of years ago to test. I didn’t know if he liked the Rotater or not until a couple of weeks ago when he contacted me with this (above) message that he posted on my LinkedIn profile.

Shoulder Tool Perfect for Home Based Rehab
February 17, 2012
Last August we attended the Florida Chiropractors conference in Orlando. Although we’ve been to many physical therapy and athletic training conferences, this was our first time demonstrating the Rotater to the chiropractic industry. We’d been alerted to their interest when Dr. Jennifer Illes wrote and told us she had presented the Rotater at the sports symposium of the American Chiropractic Association meeting in Peurto Rico and the response was had been great. Here is a link to her original article.
Florida Chiropractic Show is Successful
The FCA conference was a great success for the Rotater. Interest in the Rotater was very good and sales were great. While we were there, one of the attendees asked me if we knew Dr. Enrico Esposito at the United States Sports Academy and that we should contact him about the Rotater.
So we contacted Dr. Esposito and asked him if he would like to put the Rotater to the test. After checking out our website and videos, he gave me a shipping address and we put his Rotater package on the way.
Letter of Recommendation for The Rotater

After using the Rotater since Sept. 2011, Dr. Esposito contacted me last week and said he was sending us a letter of recommendation on his letterhead. Click this link to see the actual letter.
In his words:
To Whom It May Concern,
The Rotator is an outstanding tool for both, sport performance training and the rehabilitation of the shoulder. There comes a time in life when the creativity of a few – helps the many. This is what Joint Mechanix, LLC has done. The Rotator will help to maximize shoulder performance for many athletes and patients – providing the intricate balance between the science and the art of conditioning and reconditioning of an athlete/patient that is so imperative for a successful outcome.
The Rotator can help to maximize strength, flexibility and range of motion utilizing the sciences based upon the structure and function of the body. It takes the science of biomechanics and utilizes proper angles and forces to promote the art of correct functional movements around the joint so that ligaments, tendons, and muscles can synergistically apply themselves to a better movement.
The Rotator takes the place of expensive machines – being so portable and user friendly. It is safe – due to the capability of the user to always be in control of the angles and forces that are being applied. All these reasons make The Rotator the perfect tool to increase compliance with all home-based training and rehabilitation programs.
I recommend that every athlete have access to The Rotator. No throwing athlete should be without one.
Yours in Sport,
Dr. Enrico N. Esposito

We’d like to thank Dr. Esposito for taking the time to evaluate the Rotater and provide this feedback. If you have questions about the Rotater please contact us – call, email or fax – click here for details.

Joint Mechanix, “..a great company”
Just had to let you know what a great company this is. I ordered the Rotater and it came really quickly. As it turned out my injury was not one that would benefit from using the product….but I must say they were so nice. I contacted them and they told me..”no problem”…wished me luck with my shoulder re hab and promptly refunded my ENTIRE amount immediately. If you have any doubts about giving them a try, have no doubts! If every company on the internet did business this way it would be so refreshing. I cannot say enough good things about them.

How To Regain Shoulder Range of Motion
December 21, 2011
We have great customers who want to share their shoulder rehab stories. Here’s an email from two-time World Champion powerlifter, Pat Susco, who had extensive shoulder surgery in 2010.
Pat, who is 60, also sent a link to this video of himself doing weighted dips….incredible! Here’s the video and below it you can read Pat’s Rotater testimonial:
Pat Susco’s Rotater Testimonial
..hey guys sent you an email off your website, not sure if it went thru…..anyway, a video of my shouders working 100% @ 60 yrs. old thanks to the Rotater …..wow, what great news ! ……what I did forget to mention was that the people who train in my “home gym” are also big Rotater fans and in fact I`m still waiting for one of them to return my Rotater dvd…..In short I`ve had 2 left shouder surgeries and rebounded well after the first in `94….however, the second in 2010 was much slower to respond , possibly because I was now 59. It was also a more extensive procedure with repair to a torn rotater cuff, torn labrum and the shaving of my clavicle. After a year of self rehab I was still quite limited on what movements I could do, the weight I could use and my limited ROM.
Then by chance, surfing the net for “new” shoulder rehab ideas I came across the video for the “Rotater” and was amazed by it`s versatility. I had already purchased a “shoulder horn” and loved it , however, it was limited to one movement. I purchased my “Rotater” from “Lifting Large” which is pretty prominent in the powerlifting community. I watched the video and was blown away by how many aspects of the shoulder the Rotater hit. Using it religiously 3x a week (on both shoulders !) in conjunction with my training, I regained full ROM , was pain free and even doing weighted dips !….My biggest concern now (having a powerlifters “more is better” mind set) is the discipline to continue to train smart and cycle my training to allow for “light days” and recuperation from the “heavy days” !
I should mention that along with now being 60, I`m a 2x IPA World Champion (`93 & `95 ) and multi-time masters champion (55-59) with an official squat of 920lbs. and deadlift of 745lbs. both done while in my forties.

Triathlete Increases Shoulder Range of Motion
November 22, 2011
Thanks to Paul Dumm for taking the time to share his experience with the Rotater. We are always thrilled to know the Rotater is making a difference in people’s lives.
Triathletes and Shoulder ROM
“Chris
I am an triathlete and suffer from c-5 palsy after a back – neck fusion operation. My left arm is partly paralyzed and I suffer from chronic pain. In using the Rotater I have been able to increase my Range of Motion in my shoulder and increased blood flow to muscles that have atrophy. I have found the Rotater very helpful in dealing with my Rehabilitation.
I think the Rotater is a great. What I like best about is I can use it watching T.V.”
