A Valuable Tool for Every Baseball Pitcher
July 22, 2009
“I was recently in attendance at a sportsmedicine conference, and I happened to come across The Rotater, developed by Joint Mechanix, LLC. I was immediately intrigued by its design, and had Chris take me through its use.
"The Rotater would be a valuable tool to keep in the bag of every baseball pitcher"
Since I am the coordinator of athletic injury care for a large local school district, in addition to having a private practice specializing in rehabilitation, I immediately purchased one to try back at my office.
The Rotater has proved to be a valuable adjunct to use in caring for my shoulder patients. Whereas, teaching patients self-administered flexibility routines for the shoulder rotators has always been somewhat of a challenge, the easy to use Rotater now allows me to teach patients a simple and very effective way to perform self-stretching routines. Furthermore, I can now send them home with a device, and feel confident that they will continue to stretch in an appropriate manner.
The ability to connect exercise tubing also makes it an effective strengthening device. In addition, I believe that The Rotater would be a valuable tool to keep in the bag of every baseball pitcher. It would be a great adjunct to warmup and cooldown routines.
I want to commend Scott on a great design concept, and I look forward to continue using your device in my rehabilitation programs, as well as with my athletic teams. Great Job!”

Rehab Device Duplicates Physical Therapy Stretches
July 21, 2009
“I am a police officer who during a foot pursuit after a fleeing suspect injured my right shoulder. The diagnosis was a detached proximal bicep tendon and seriously damaged shoulder joint as well.
Fall contribute to many serious shoulder injuries
I underwent two procedures to attach the tendon and clean up the shoulder joint. As anyone knows who has had a shoulder surgery, the post op was very painful and the my range of motion almost nothing for the first month.
When I started to use the Rotater it was painful but I was able to use it all day everyday, slowly but surely increasing the force and range of motion. There was nothing else I could find that would duplicate the same kind of stretches my physical therapist was doing on me like the Rotater did.
I could only see my PT twice a week too. He told me that he was amazed at how quickly I got my range of motion back as well as my strength. When I went to see the surgeon for a post visit he was also amazed at how quickly I had regained the use of my shoulder. I was able to go back to full duty two months ahead of his projected schedule.
And as far as the customer service, I broke my Rotater from so much use and they promptly shipped me a new one no questions asked. I still use it today on both of my shoulders.
Thanks to the rotater I was able to get back to work and not lose the use of my shoulder in this demanding profession.”
