The Pink Rotater is Back!

The Pink Rotater
After what has seemed like an eternity, we are proud to announce the Pink Rotater is back. Due to expanding markets combined with the high costs of healthcare, we’re experiencing tremendous growth. This growth has put a strain on our current manufacturing systems…BUT we have found a solution. If you’ve been waiting to purchase your Rotater because you wanted the Pink Rotater, wait no longer.

“Here are my thoughts…
Pete Genot - editor of The Healthy Minute
- I’m sure glad you included the video…I think I would have been lost if I just had to follow the diagrams on the instruction sheet.
- After a few days of watching the videos and following along with the exercises, I was able catch on. They were very easy to learn and can be done in less than 15 minutes per day.
- I have been using The Rotater along with the Strong-arm Attachment for the past 30 days, and I couldn’t be happier!
I injured my right shoulder over a year and a half ago in a bad motorcycle accident. I was traveling on the highway at 60 mph when some debris in the road caused my motorcycle to throw me over the handlebars. I flew thru the air head-over-heals, and the initial impact was on my right shoulder. This caused a severe separation of the shoulder, fractured ribs and various other bruises and abrasions. I tumbled approximately the length of a football field, passing thru the fast lane before finally landing in the center median.
My orthopedic surgeon decided against surgery, and instead recommended physical therapy. When I first started PT, I was in tremendous pain, and had very little range of motion and strength. After several months of therapy, I was able to regain about 90% of my range of motion, although I still suffered from pain and weakness. My doctor said this was something I would just have to live with the rest of my life.
So, after my insurance ran out, I continued to do my rehab at home and slowly regained much of my strength over the next year.
Although my shoulder was much stronger, there were exercises that I just could not do (like barbell bench press) because the pain was just too great. So, I limited myself to doing exercises using light enough weights and specific (limited) ranges of motion that did not cause pain.
The problem was, the more I worked out, the more range of motion I lost and the more pain I felt. Over a year after the accident, I was still feeling enough pain that is limited not only the things I enjoy doing (working out, playing basketball, playing baseball with my kids), but also “normal” activities like sleeping, putting on a shirt or combing my hair. I was resigned to the fact that I would just always be in pain and would have to live with certain physical limitations.
But that all changed when I started using The Rotater.
After doing the stretching exercises the very first day, I noticed that my shoulder really felt better. I was shocked. You see, I was pretty skeptical that this “contraption” would really be able to help me. I already exercised and did some “basic” shoulder stretches the PT taught me, so I didn’t think this funny looking piece of plastic could do any better.
Boy…I’m sure glad I was wrong!
I didn’t realize that the muscles, ligaments and tendons The Rotater helps were so different than the ones I use to do a dumbell press or lateral raise. Those exercises actually hurt, while the one I do with The Rotater give me RELIEF.
I currently use The Rotater to stretch my shoulder about 5 days per week, and I use the Strong-arm Attachment to do strengthening exercises 2 – 3 times per week.
Since I started following this program, I have improved the strength and stability of the shoulder, increased my range of motion to nearly 100% of what it was before the accident and… more importantly…have greatly reduced the amount of pain I feel in and around the shoulder.
This has allowed me to do the things I enjoy again…like shooting a basketball, throwing a baseball to my son, or lifting my 2-year old daughter in the air…without as much pain.
I owe you much thanks!”
Sincerely,
Pete Genot

Joint Mechanix switches to Sanctband Resistive Tubing
November 4, 2009
New & Improved Resistive Tubing for our Strong Arm Device
Here’s a quick note to let you know we’ve made some changes to improve our Strong Arm device. The Strong Arm device is a tool that attaches to the Rotater enabling you to strengthen your rotator cuff.
The Strong Arm Device with Orange Sanctband
We’ve been selling our Strong Arm with a common red (medium) resistive tubing and offering both the green (heavy) and yellow (light) resistive tubing as options. Some of you have noted ( and rightly so ) that the slots in the Rotater have sharp edges. These sharp edges tend to cut into the (red, green or yellow) tubing after repeated use, causing the tubing to break. We wanted something better – something that would last – something nearly indestructible.
The Sanctband Solution
Scott and I have been searching for an answer to this problem for some time. Several months ago, while at a trade show, we saw a demonstration we couldn’t believe. Two guys at the Sanctband booth would take a piece of their tubing, cut it nearly completely through and then ask you to try and break it by pulling and stretching it. Scott and I both tried – couldn’t break it and were very impressed.
We now offer the stronger more durable Sanctband resistive tubing with our Strong Arm device. Our Strong Arm will now come with the orange (medium) Sanctband tubing and we’ll offer pink (light) Sanctband as and option.
