The Hunchback and Shoulder Pain
You do it! You know you do it! I do it, too …. I’m probably doing it right now … yeah, the “late night, I’m tired as crap, gotta keep working on this article” hunched back.
As we become more engaged online, we are becoming less engaged offline … less aware of our posture. It doesn’t matter what your addiction is:
- surfing the web via your desktop computer
- texting on your phone
- cruising along with your ipod
- chilling out on the latest tablet
…it’s all the same…you’ve become a hunchback. Your shoulders are rolled forward, your head is down and you have some seriously tense and painful shoulders.

Magnetic Therapy for Shoulder Pain ?
December 6, 2011
Here’s the basic claim: Permanent magnets produce a magnetostatic field that can have beneficial health benefits. Watch this video and then keep reading.
How true is the claim? Can magnetic therapy help your chronic shoulder pain? Here’s what I found:
- Controlling Chronic Pain With Magnetic Therapy – found this article on About.com and was very excited … until I saw the author had a vested interested in promoting magnetic therapy - Ron Lawrence, MD. is the President of the North American Academy of Magnetic Therapy and co-author of Magnet Therapy – The Pain Cure Alternative
- Magnet Therapy: A Skeptical View – a much less flattering view of the available research – also by a doctor - Stephen Barrett, M.D
- The Claim: Magnetic Therapy Can Ease Arthritis Pain – article from the New York Times
Will Magnetic Therapy Help Your Shoulder Pain?
- Pro alternative medicine websites claim magnetic therapy helps relieve chronic pain from a variety of ailments.
- Other websites are skeptical of the pain reducing benefits.

Teri Hatcher Still Frustrated with Frozen Shoulder?
October 11, 2011
Back in Oct. 2010 on the Jimmy Kimmel show, Teri Hatcher revealed she had a frozen shoulder. As recently as this past May (2011), Teri is still having a difficult time as noted in this article – Teri Hatcher hits rock bottom with frozen shoulder.
What is frozen shoulder?
Sometimes it’s called adhesive capsulitis …. this video might help explain what it is and how to treat it.
The Dreaded Frozen Shoulder Solution – Manipulation Under Anesthesia
Here’s what happens:
- You are sedated
- Your doctor performs all the shoulder stretches you’ve been avoiding during physical therapy due to the pain
- The doctor is not inhibited by your screams of pain and forces the joint to “un-freeze”
A video is worth more than a thousand words:
The Rotater for Frozen Shoulder Relief
Many of our clients have had great results in overcoming frozen shoulder by adding the Rotater to their shoulder health program. These are their words:
“Thank heavens for my discovery of The Rotater. In therapy, the trained therapist could manipulate my arm to keep/increase rotation but on my own I wasn’t able to do that very well at all. Therapy, at $80/session, was getting expensive yet I knew I needed to keep up the rotational manipulation so that when the “thawing” began I would still have retained as much shoulder/arm function as possible. read more
Another happy Rotater customer:
“I was diagnosed with Adhesive Capsulitis and only 50-60% of normal external and internal rotation. Using the Rotater daily and combined with physical therapy I have progressed to 100% external rotation and 95% internal rotation in less than nine weeks. I have no pain and am back to playing tennis.” read more
Physical Therapist comment
“The Rotater itself has proved invaluable to my patients’ shoulders and their subsequent recovery. It has been used for a variety of overuse, sports, orthopedic, and post-surgical conditions to date, and on a large group of patients as well. Everyone from grandma with adhesive capsulitis to the major league baseball pitcher has reaped its benefits, and I look forward to many more.” read more
Is the Rotater “right” for you? I don’t know, but with a 100% Money Back Guarantee, what do you have to lose? Put the Rotater to the test and see for yourself.
P.S. Does anyone know how to get in touch with Teri Hatcher?
We’d love to get a Rotater to Teri. We’ve tried to make contact a couple of times, but no response yet. If you know how to reach her, please let us know. Thanks
