“In my desperate attempt to escape shoulder impingement pain, I was ready to try anything that worked. It was my lucky day when I stumbled upon Chris Melton, the Rotater guy. When I ordered the Rotater, I got great service from this company – with much personal concern and friendliness. But the best part is the health journey I started by reading their fabulous FaceBook posts.”

Simple Exercises for Shoulder Mobility

April 13, 2011

Improving your shoulder flexibility and range of motion doesn’t have to be hard…but sometimes you need to be inventive.  A small weight, rubber exercise tubing and nothing at all make excellent tools to help your shoulder become more mobile / flexible.  Watch this video and you’ll see what I mean:

Tired of Boring Rotator Cuff Exercises?

February 16, 2011

Are you tired of doing the same old boring warm up exercises for your rotator cuff muscles?  Here’s a quick clip to provide you with some options and challenges.  Give these shoulder exercises a try and let me know what you think.  These are great for core activation / development as well.  Hint:  use light weights to start with.

Shoulder pain while sleeping is common and frustrating

Shoulder pain while sleeping is common and frustrating

“Back in 2007 I started experiencing pain in my right shoulder mostly at nights while sleeping.  Being someone who loves to play golf this became a concern especially since several friends and my wife all had shoulder surgery.

I ended up seeing my doctor and found out I had bone spurs in my shoulder that were rubbing and irritating my rotator cuff.  Of course after surgery there’s physical therapy.  I was in physical therapy for about 2 months and everything went really well, but I wasn’t back to the same flexibility in my shoulder as before even though I continued to do the exercises.

At the Jan. 2008 PGS Merchandise show in Orlando, I was at the Rotater booth and listened to what Chris Melton had to say about the Rotater.  Sounded interesting but I didn’t do anything at first.

After wallking around the show for awhile, I decided to buy one and give it a try.

I’ve been using the Rotater nearly everyday now and my shoulder flexibility has improved and is greater than before the shoulder surgery.  As a golfer this is important for generating distance and control.”

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).

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.”
