The Rotater Goes to Puerto Rico for the ACA Sports Symposium
August 5, 2011
This is a guest post by Dr. Jennifer Illes who was one of the featured speakers at this year’s sports symposium of the American Chiropractic Association.
During the last weekend of July, Dr. Jennifer Illes, a chiropractic physician from Florida demonstrated the use and benefits of the “Rotater” at the annual ACA (American Chiropractic Association) sports symposium.
Dr. Illes Includes the Rotater in her Presentation
Over 300 sports physicians from all over the USA, Canada, and Mexico attended. Dr. Illes who teaches clinical scinece courses at National University of Health Sciences in Florida, presented both a lecture and lab about scapular dyskinesis. She implemented the Rotater while explaining how to stretch the GH capsule, and how during the rehabiliative phase of treatment the Rotater could be used for increasing strength of the shoulder mobilizers. The audience was impressed with this invention, and they came up after the presentation to demo it. Nothing but positive feedback for the ROTATER!!!
The ACA Council on Sports Injuries and Physical Fitness is a professional and educational non-profit organization with a growing membership of active chiropractors. The ACA Sports Council attracts doctors from across the U.S. and around the world, who desire to become more directly involved with developing and promoting the treatment of athletes.

Shoulder Recovery with a “FREE” Rotater
July 11, 2011
Everyone needs a friend like StrongMan Bob. Bob bought a Rotater from us a couple of years ago and has been spreading Rotater love all over the place. He even wrote this article where he separates the hype from “real-life” results – (P)Rehab Gadgets: The Good, The Not So Good.
Bob Wanamaker - The Thinking Strongman
Anyway, to get on with the story…several months ago, Bob won a FREE Rotater on our Facebook Page. (YES!!! We give away FREE Rotaters …and the best way to win one is to Join Our Facebook Page). After winning Bob sent me a message. Basically he wanted to know if we’d send his Rotater to a friend who was having shoulder issues. We said “sure”.
Shoulder Abuse & Recovery
We sent that Rotater to Sara Fleming, a fitness trainer and USA Weightlifting coach. To make a long story shorter, Sara added the Rotater to her shoulder rehab / prehab program and wrote this article outlining her journey – Shoulder Abuse and Recovery. From the article:
…One of my friends was kind enough to send me another piece of equipment called “The Rotator” which is useful for both strengthening and stretching the internal and external rotators. I found this particularly useful for stretching and use it both before and after workouts…
Did Sara’s shoulder recover? Read the blog and find out for yourself.
