The Green Rotater + Strong Arm Kit + Rotater Pad
We would like to thank Leonard Van Gelder for taking the past few weeks to test and evaluate our shoulder rehab tool – the Rotater. Leonard Van Gelder is the blogger behind Dynamic Principles and is:
- a certified strength and conditioning coach
- a certified athletic trainer
- 20 year veteran of the martial arts
- also in the process of pursuing his Clinical Doctorate in Physical Therapy
Here is an excerpt from Leonard’s review:
Overall, the beauty of the Rotater is in its simplicity, it does its intended job very well. I commend the team over at Joint Mechanix for putting the Rotater together without an orthopedic rehab background!

Shoulder Stretching Tool Reviewed by Pitching Coach
April 21, 2012
Dan Blewett, owner of Dan Blewett Sports Performance and Warbird Pitching Academy, recently posted the following video review of the Rotater shoulder stretching tool. I’ve been reading Dan’s blog for the last few months and can feel his passion for pitching / athletic excellence. I contacted Dan and asked him if he would be interested in evaluating our shoulder stretching tool.
Dan notes several things about the Rotater shoulder stretching tool in this video:
- Shoulder Stretching Safety – it’s safer for an athlete to stretch himself / herself than to rely on a fellow athlete.
- Immediate Feedback – the athlete feels the stretch
- Although an excellent shoulder stretching tool for external rotation, most baseball players don’t need more external rotation
- The Rotater shoulder stretching tool is great for stretching a pitcher’s internal rotation
- Different than the sleeper stretch .. the pitching arm is in a more natural throwing motion
- The Rotater is lightweight, sturdy and easy to take with you
Disclaimer: The Rotater was provided to Dan Blewett at no charge to him, with nothing required on his part.

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.
