Who can Benefit by using the Rotater in their Shoulder Rehab and Stretching Program?

Shoulder Rehab Patients who are in Physical Therapy Programs

Most people who are participating in shoulder rehab or physical therapy programs, typically get a prescription to see a physical therapist three times per week. During your physical therapy visit, your shoulder is stretched and your range of motion is increased. However, during the time between physical therapy visits, you are not able to stretch your shoulder properly and this lack of stretching can result in decreased range of motion.

At your next physical therapy session, your therapist has to re-stretch your shoulder to recover the range of motion you lost while at home. This is why the rehab process seems to take so long - it can be a two steps forward and one step back affair.

By using the ROTATER, you can effectively stretch at home to supplement your physical therapist's efforts and maintain your range of motion. Using the ROTATER at home can speed up the rehab process and get you back to doing the things that you enjoy as well as the simple, everyday tasks that we all take for granted.

People who are post operative with surgically repaired shoulders

After surgery, your shoulder will probably be immobilized for a period of time, to allow the healing process to occur. During this time of restricted activity, scar tissue can develop in the shoulder joint. When your orthopedic doctor removes your restrictions and allows you to begin moving your surgery-repaired shoulder, you may realize that you no longer have the range of motion that you once enjoyed.

This condition is known as adhesive capsulitis, or "frozen shoulder". If you suffer from this condition, then the ROTATER may provide the help you need.

It is likely that your doctor will prescribe a program of physical therapy. By using the ROTATER at home, in conjunction with your therapy, you can actively participate in your shoulder rehab.

Athletes at all levels

The ROTATER is a 'must have' stretching and warm-up tool for all athletes and may be the most important stretching device you'll ever own. The ROTATER is portable and can be used at home, in your hotel room, at the gym, in the locker room, in the dug out, on the sidelines, in the bull pen, at the pool and on the field, track or golf course.

Once you have felt the difference that the Rotater can make in your shoulder performance then using the ROTATER will become part of your daily stretching program. Don't take chances with your shoulder - warm up and stretch with the ROTATER!

People who have a limited range of motion (ROM) in their shoulder

Due to the passage of time, you don't throw as many balls, swim as many laps, chop as much wood or paint as many houses as you once did. You just don't use the full range of motion of your shoulders anymore.

This lack of use can reduce or impede your shoulder range of motion. And because the mobility and range of motion of your shoulder is restricted, you begin to feel limited as to what you can do around the house or yard.

The ROTATER may be able to help you. Used in the comfort of your own home, the ROTATER can increase your range of motion and strength (with the Strong Arm attachment). This will enhance both your physical and emotional well-being.

Everyday tasks can become less laborious and painful for you. Whether it is simply getting out of bed in the morning or holding a precious newborn child, you deserve the full use of your shoulders.

***PLEASE CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE STARTING ANY STRETCHING PROGRAM. SHOW THE ROTATER TO YOUR PHYSCIAN OR PHYSICAL THERAPIST PRIOR TO USING IT TO SEE IF THE ROTATER CAN HELP YOU***
