Is this a good training device for a rotator cuff injury?

I had rotator cuff surgery back in 07 which is why I bought another one of these. You can ease in to the work out and limit the amount of force you exert. However I would not recommend using this to it's full extent until you are completely healed. When all else fails ask your Surgeon or Physical Therapist for their recommendation.

that Iam not sure of i would check with your doctor first you don't want to do any more harm then need be. I think it is good for chest and arms

Yes. Still works fine to help you retrain muscles/positioning/posture. Don't need any of those. i don't use any and have received benefit.

Yes, I believe it would help stabilize your shoulder because it is very adjustable - best of luck!

I have been using them for shoulder rehab exercises, they work well for me. Easy to put on and off.

It would work for the arm and shoulder exercises. The length of the bar is rather long, so there could only be a few inches of clearance between the floor and the end of the bar.

I suggest you speak to an orthopedic specialist. Everyone is different. I had shoulder surgery to repair a damaged rotator cuff and I use kb regularly. But, you should speak to an orthopedist.

I'm not a Dr. but I've used this device all over my back area with great results. So long as you can lay it flat and not on a curved area like the top of the shoulder it should work fine. Remember to use lower levels of intenstiy and work up not the other way around because this is electricity, hope this helps, Paul.

So sorry. I don't know as I haven't set it up yet. I've had a bum rotator cuff and don't want to use it until this clears up but it does look quite sturdy.

it stabilizes the whole shoulder including the muscles. I've had trouble with rotator cuff and this product has enabled me to continue pitching and 49 years old

You should probably ask your physical therapist. I broke my wrist, the therapist introduced it at our last session. I like the way it engages the whole arm plus the core. You also need to work at least hard enough to get it to shimmy so can't cheat.

I've only used for tennis and doing exercises with 1-5 lb weights in ladies exercise class so I have no idea if it would be adequate for the training you describe. I did mention in my review that I think the support would be significantly increased if these were available in a longer length. 4-5 inches longer would be great. I do like that the palm is left uncovered for gripping.

It can be used on either shoulder. I had a total rotator cuff repair on my right shoulder last October and when my shoulder hurts I still use mine.

I think it would help a lot. I find it also helps the impact on your joints as well. Very shock absorbing

I use mine for racquetball after a torn rotator cuff. I like it. It seems to give the needed support.

I don't think the shoulder brace would help with your posture. I would try a brace for lower back for that issue. This brace really relieves shoulder joint and rotator cuff pain for me.

Bobby-I would not buy it for that. It may help indirectly, but no more than arm exercises would strengthen them normally. It isolates the bicep curl movement, and triceps pull down movement.-Doug

It would depend on the shape you are in and your goal. I just had shoulder surgery and do oscillations of about 5" for 60 seconds.
