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!”

Premier Track Coach Reviews Shoulder Rehab Device
September 22, 2009
Mike Young
Mike Young is founder and owner of ELITETRACK.COM, co-owner of Human Performance Consulting and coach of the HPC Elite Track Team. That alone gives him a ton of credibility, but he also:
- holds a PhD in Biomechanics
- has coached at LSU and Ohio University before serving as the sprints and decathlon coach at Army
- served as an instructor or adjunct professor at Ohio University, LSU, and the University of North Carolina
- has lectured for the Chinese Track and Field Association and USA Speed Skating
- participated in 3 Olympics – as an athlete (Lake Placid), as a sport scientist (Colorado Springs and Chula Vista), and as a coach (Colorado Springs)
Several months ago, Mike agreed to evaluate the Rotater. Here are some of the excerpts from the review he posted on his blog – The Rotater and Shoulder Injuries.
…Unlike most of the shoulder stretching and strengthening variations for internal and external rotation that are used in shoulder rehab / prehab, the ones that the Rotater places the athlete in are much less awkward on the shoulder joint because it helps to stabilize the elbow in the appropriate position, limits movement to the shoulder joint while still permitting enough play to at the elbow joint to ensure the stretching and strengthening isn’t turned in to something robotic..
…I think it’s one of the few products I think could be valuable for increasing the performance and decreasing the likelihood of injury in athletes that need to do high velocity, ballistic overhead movements…
Here’s the complete Rotater review and comments.

Skier says – the Rotater works great!
September 14, 2009
We received this email from a another satisfied Rotater client:
“I received my Rotater 2 months ago and have been using it regularly.
I had a skiing accident that resulted in a 4 part fracture of the proximal humerus that required hemiarthroplasty (half an artifical shoulder) 2 years ago. The top of the humerus was shattered the head was broken off as and both tuberosities were broken. The injury included complete tears of the subscapularis and supraspinatus muscles as well. Doctors and PTs all said I literally destroyed the entire joint.
Falling while skiing can result in shoulder injuries
I had 12 months of supervised PT and have been working on my own to regain strength and ROM since then. My most difficult ROM is internal rotation and part of the reason is it is very difficult to stretch in that direction without assistance. The Rotater works great for that stretch!
I saw my surgeon this morning for a regular 6 month check up. I showed him the Rotater literature and he thought it was a fantastic device. I left the literature with him so he could recommend it to his other patients.
Thanks for everything!”

Shoulder Tool is Effective for Gaining Range of Motion
July 29, 2009
“We have recently purchased a Rotater for our clinic. We have a large number of shoulder surgical cases, and we have found it to be an effective way to assist in gaining shoulder ROM (range of motion) for External and Internal rotation.
The Rotater has been effective for increasing internal & external rotation
As most PT’s (physical therapists) and ATC’s (certified athletic trainers) know, the capsular pattern of ROM restriction for the shoulder include these two motions. It has been effective in the clinical setting, and we have also allowed patients to take it home with them for periods of time to use in their home exercise programs.”

Physical Therapist says, “the Rotater is more effective than doorway & towel stretches”
May 17, 2009
“Hi, I am Justin Spooner ,MSPT, I want say that using the “Rotater” on a regular basis has had a positive effect for many of my shoulder patients I see from S/P RTC (rotator cuff) Repair Surgery to Adhesive Capsulitis (frozen shoulder).
Chris demonstrates the Rotater to a physical therapist at the APTA conference
It is much more effective than the old doorway and towel stretches plus patient’s seem to be more motivated to do it at home than giving them these stretches.
It does a better job at isolating than anything I have come across and when it comes to shoulder impingement, etc, having good ER/IR (external rotation / internal rotation) is huge and very well could mean the difference in having surgery or not.”
