Joint Mechanix, “..a great company”

Just had to let you know what a great company this is. I ordered the Rotater and it came really quickly. As it turned out my injury was not one that would benefit from using the product….but I must say they were so nice. I contacted them and they told me..”no problem”…wished me luck with my shoulder re hab and promptly refunded my ENTIRE amount immediately. If you have any doubts about giving them a try, have no doubts! If every company on the internet did business this way it would be so refreshing. I cannot say enough good things about them.

Understanding Shoulder Flexibility

We all have questions…and it would be helpful if we had a visual to help us understand.  If you have questions about:

• Passive flexibility
• Active flexibility
• Dynamic flexibility

…then here’s a great explanation along with many drawings to help you visualize what these terms mean.

How to Have Better Shoulder Flexibility

“It’s things like The Rotater that make me wish there was a “love it” button. I have had three surgeries on my shoulder and nothing seemed to help. PT had it’s limits – at least my therapist did so I set out in search of something I could do at home. Since The Rotater, although I don’t have it all back (yet) my range of motion has increased significantly! It is worth every penny!” - Jon Tyre – from the Rotater Facebook Page

If you’re having issues with your shoulder flexibility, please visit the graphic above so you’ll have a better understanding of your shoulder.  After that, you may want to learn more about the Rotater and how you can use it to increase your shoulder flexibility.

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.

How to Avoid Computer Related Shoulder Pain
