Mat Pearch, K16 UKWA Slalom Champion 2009 & the Rotater

February 12th, 2010

I asked Mat Pearch, a fantastic windsurfer, mountain biker and all-round sportsman, who is also currently the UKWA Slalom Champion, to try the Rotater as he has some issues with shoulder stiffness and reduced range of motion, especially in extension. This is what he has to say;

“Hi Andy,
Yeah, getting on well with it. definitely got more movement in my shoulders, my arm goes back at more of an angle now when I use it. I’ve been boxing twice a week with Scott (Welch) and my shoulders are
absolutely dead after a session and the next day so been using it to loosen them up and make them feel normal again. Cheers, Mat”

Scott Welch – Boxer takes on the Rotater

August 31st, 2009

Scott Welch, former professional heavyweight boxer and all-round fitness advocate has suffered from general shoulder and rotator cuff problems and has recently been using the Rotater to increase his range of motion, a unique device developed in the US for just this type of problem.SCOTTW_ROTATER

After just a couple of weeks of use, Scott tells me that “the Rotater has really helped to loosen up my shoulders, increasing range and flexibility. I will definately be encouraging the lads to use it before and after sparring and glove work. I can also see it being useful before competition as part of their pre-fight prep…….good one!”.

Former boxer, amateur and professional, picking up British & Commonwealth Champ and WBO Heavyweight Champ of Great Britain titles and was a contender for the Heavyweight Champion of the World (sadly lost on points).

He now coaches boxing at the Hove Amateur Boxing Club, keeps fit with road and off-road cycling and undertakes SCOTT_Brad_Pitt_02events like the Marathon Des Sables for charity. Just for good measure, Scott starred as Horace ‘Good Night’ Anderson in Snatch alongside Brad Pitt! His moto and attitude to life is “to do us much as I can as fast as I can”.
