It’s quite an honor for the Rotater to be mentioned in the same article as shoulder rehab gurus, Mike Reinold and Eric Cressey. Thanks to Shyam Soin, for including the Rotater in his article – Top 3 Exercises to Improve Shoulder Internal Range of Motion.
Here’s a video clip from Shyam’s article demonstrating why the Rotater is one of the best exercises to improve internal rotation of the shoulder.

Fitness Expert Recommends Shoulder Tool
May 25, 2010
Master Trainer, Paul Frediani
“It’s versatility is unique. I have been using the Rotater with good results for a variety of my clients. From an my All American triathlete who is recovering from shoulder surgery to a 70 year old tennis player, to a bodybuilding client. I’m also recommending the Rotater to surfers, who notoriously avoid warming up the shoulder before paddling out. There is a short learning curve for it’s use and the instructions should be viewed carefully. A solid piece of equipment which I highly recommend.”

Joey Atlas’ Response to the Rotater
“Just had a chance to take a close look at the Rotater. I must let you know – over the years I’ve been asked to evaluate many products and devices. Many have been ‘ok’ and a few have been great. I have to categorize the Rotater as awesome, plain and simple… And here’s why.
My experience in the rehab and fitness field has taken me many places and exposed me to many different people and programs. One of those being the golf and tennis crowd. Both in rehab and post rehab (performance).
I’ve always been big on proper shoulder conditioning. And developed my own protocols and ‘methods’ with tools that already existed. What the Rotater does is allow me to develop programs for clients – and, most importantly, give them one tool to allow them to continue with their program.
Adherence is a huge challenge in our field and anything that can get a patient or client to stick with their program when they go off on their own is absolutely priceless. The Rotater allows this to happen perfectly. It removes so many obstacles – and promotes long term results and improvements.
As an inventor and product developer myself, I must tip my hat to you in a big way for creating something so simple in concept yet so versatile in practice and valuable in terms of transitioning a client to doing their own training for long term performance and fitness.”
All the best,
Joey Atlas

Athletic trainer welcomes shoulder stretching device
May 26, 2009
Athletes are using the Rotater to stretch healthy shoulders
“Recently I ran into the inventors of The Rotater at the Florida Physical Therapy Association Convention in Daytona Beach. I wish that I had met them a couple years ago. The Rotater would have been beneficial to so many athletes that I have worked with.
I spent two years with the LSU volleyball and tennis programs as well as a year with the University of Louisiana of Lafayette volleyball and softball programs. With all of these teams playing overhead sports, I spent a lot of time stretching their arms and shoulders. If I had had the Rotater, then my time could have been freed up to work on other important things.
The athlete has total control of the stretch!
The nicest thing about the Rotater is that the athlete has total control of the stretch. Instead of me constantly asking if they were getting a good stretch, they can feel it and control it themselves.
I plan on sending the information about the Rotater on to professionals that I have worked with so that they can implement it in their programs.
On a personal note, I play a lot of volleyball and can now stretch my arm out before I get on the court. I used to stretch as much as possible, but it would still take the first game to feel really warm. Now I can get a great stretch before I even start a match!
Thanks guys for your help!”
