The Rotater originally began as a way for Scott to accelerate the recovery and rehabilitation process after having his shoulder surgically repaired. Not only did the Rotater help Scott recover faster, but it is being recognized by athletes (specifically baseball players, swimmers, golfers, tennis players and softball players), athletic trainers, physical therapists and strength and conditioning coaches as the optimal means for effectively self-stretching the shoulder.

Our promotion of the Rotater is simple. We just have to show the people how to use it and then step back and watch the “aha” moment. The Rotater sells itself. Over and over, we hear, “this is ingenious”, “I wish that I had thought of this”, “this is fantastic!”, “wow, this is incredible”, “it’s so simple, yet so effective” and “I can’t wait to show this to _________”.

While in Daytona, Scott and I stopped in a “hole in the wall” restaurant called SANTORA’S at the Ocean Walk. It’s not much to look at, but that’s not why you want to go to this restaurant anyway. You want to go for the wings. They are fantastic! I placed an order for ten wings, a slice of pizza and some fries. I was unable to eat the pizza or fries due to the size of the wings.

The wings were incredibly large. They looked like they had come from a turkey or something. They were, by far, the largest chicken wings that I have ever seen. But that’s not all – the wing sauce flavor was great as well. If you are in Daytona and you like wings, don’t miss the opportunity to drop by SANTORA’S to eat the biggest and best wings you’ll ever have. While you are there say hi to Chris and Brian – they provide great service and some laughs.

One really great idea from the show is a web based, physical therapy program that works to bring the patient and the physical therapist together over the internet. Go to HOME PROGRAMS.NET to get all the details. This is an idea that is way ahead of it’s time and could quite possibly become an industry standard. Kudos to Kevin Rausch for bringing this unique idea to reality and for providing convience and accessability to the patient.

I was really encouraged by the number of people who took an interest in both our product and in us as people. It is nice to know that there are still people in the world who value people.
