Free DVD for training the Athletic Shoulder
November 3, 2009
First, let me be clear – I am not being paid to promote this free DVD.
I met Eric Beard in Atlanta about six months ago while he was in town performing a workshop for personal trainers. Eric’s qualifications are incredible:
- Senior Master Instructor at National Academy of Sports Medicine
- Adjunct Faculty at California University of Pennsylvania
- Head Athletic Performance Coach at New England Academy of Tennis
- Corrective Exercise Specialist
- Manual Therapist (LMT)

When I met Eric, two things about him really impressed me:
- his mission and passion is helping people
- he’s an informed, educated and charismatic speaker – he really grabs and holds your attention
You can really see Eric’s passion shine through in this video interview

Golfer takes the Rotater to the Course
October 13, 2009
Flexibility - Power - Distance
I am an avid golfer who at a very young age developed shoulder problems while playing baseball and lifting heavy weights in my youth. Until now, I have had to put up with the nagging stiffness and pain in my shoulders and my golf game has suffered for it.
I have been using The Rotater for several months now. When I first received The Rotater I was skeptical. It didn’t look like anything fancy or the next best thing to help my shoulder, but after watching the videos and learning the stretches, The Rotater now hangs near my bed for stretches first thing in the morning and it rides with me to the course for 20 minutes of stretching prior to hitting balls.
For the first time in a long time, I am actually completing my back-swings and getting through the ball for a fuller finish. My long irons and woods have now become a weapon in my bag instead of dead weight. My shoulder pain has all but disappeared due to my increase in strength. I will continue to use The Rotater for stretching as long as I am able to play golf, walk and breathe.
Thank you!

Golfer Improves Shoulder Flexibility with the Rotater

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.
Full shoulder turn with no pain
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.”

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.”

Neuromuscular Therapist makes Shoulder Rehab Device part of Shoulder Program
July 21, 2009
“Here at NPI our clientele are typically people who have seemingly been everywhere and done everything for their chronic pain conditions and have gotten nowhere. The biggest difference between what we do and what others do is getting the clients very active in their own recovery. We empower them through education to heal themselves with very specific home based “self care” programs.
Get pain relief with NPI
Until the Rotater, at home shoulder care was a difficult undertaking. Since we ran into the Rotater guys at the PGA Expo in Las Vegas our shoulder program has been unbelievable. We pride ourselves on “simple” solutions to complicated problems and…WITHOUT A DOUBT…the Rotater is the simplest yet most effective shoulder tool I have seen in 15 years of dealing with chronic pain. My clients thank you.”

Long Driver Increases Shoulder Flexibility and Loses Shoulder Pain
July 9, 2009
“I’ve been using the Rotater every second day and use it while warming up before a round. I’ve been in AZ for the past month and had an interesting experience.
It was a long par 4, 485 yds. I hit driver – lob wedge. Usually I would have driver – 5 or 6 iron.
So the Range of motion increase and the flexibility was noticeable to me. I’ve also had less soreness in the shoulder where my old football shoulder separation was.
It seems that the Rotater is helping breakdown the scar tissue that gave the shoulder some of its stiffness and pain.”
Bob Orr, Long Drive Consultant
Stats for Bob Orr
- Longest drive in competition – 376 yards
- Longest drive ever – 408 yards – on the 10th hole at Industry Hills
- Winner Nitro National Senior Long Drive 1997
- Current age 61 years
- Average driving distance – a little over 300 yards
- Problem Calcium and scar tissue build up from former football shoulder separation had restricted my flexibility. The Rotater used daily for 6 months at 10-15 minutes daily alleviated the majority of my pain and increased my flexibility by 40% Plus.
Update from Bob
“Your Rotater has been the best rehabilitation for my shoulder. the old football injuries that gave me a stiffness has been relieved and my shoulder rotation for long driving the golf ball has been great. Not many 61 year old guys can get it out over 320 yds which I did last week at a charity event fundraiser for Lukemia.”
