RangeMaster Classic Shoulder Pulley w/ Guide (Dual Language), Exercise Pulley for Physical Therapy, Shoulder Pain & Recovery, Metal Bracket (FSA/HSA)

This is so easy to use. Just slip it over a door. You can determine exactly how far to stretch your muscle to get the best results for your healing. It's very quiet but has a soothing sound that is almost meditative. The exercises can be done quickly in any location where you have a door. My door faces a hallway. There is room for a chair, and I'm good to go. The length of the ropes is perfect; I didn't need to do any adjusting. And I love the feel of the wooden handles. This is a great product! (My physical therapist recommended it.)

Was just given the OK to start using this as part of my PT for my shoulder replacement surgery. Very happy with it. Will enable me to do my daily exercises at home and not have to go to the Therapy place as often. Price very reasonable.

useful, and efficient for what it's designed to do...just wish there was an easier way of shortening the cord, and hand-holds that passed the cord through them rather than bunching it in knots one the top of one hand-hold (kind of uncomfortable when holding onto the knotted cord). Blue pad keeps the bracket steadily 'in place' during use.

I had rotator cuff surgery this summer and have been going to physical therapy to gradually regain my range of motion and strength. The PT has a similar setup as this pulley system, only built-in and probably sturdier, and it helps a lot so I bought this to use at home. Added to all my other stretches and strength exercises I'm seeing a huge leap forward in returning to normal use of my shoulder. This pulley system is easy set up and to use -- just put it over a door and adjust the cord length to suit, grab and handle in each hand and start stretching. I leave mine set up on a bedroom closet door all the time and use it several times a day. Feels wonderful to stretch. My physical therapist is the one who told me to look at Amazon's offerings and not mess around with buying a pulley and making my own -- the pieces cost as much as buying this all ready made.Do be aware that this isn't intended to hold a lot of weight, just the weight needed to stretch your arm, but it's plenty sturdy enough for that.EDIT: Thought I ought to mention that I'm 5'3" and when my shoulder is extended fully upward (hooray!) I can touch the pulley itself. Taller people will most likely need to rig it up higher than just hanging it over the door.

This overpriced apparatus works great to get your shoulders and arms back in action after injury or surgery. The noise of the handles smacking on the door was more than our dog could handle and he barked relentlessly every time I used this pulley. It is not supposed to be an exercise machine, but rather a leverage devise to help you get your range of motion back by gently moving your arms up and down. I don’t know how the one reviewer hurt themselves while using this device. It’s very simple yet effective.

great for shoulder replacement exercises at home.

I use this to help my limited range of motion due to RTC surgery. Sure, there are other types of pulley systems that cost less than this one, but this one is better! MUCH Smoother operation, and much less squeaking noise than another type that I bought. This one is very compact, has all metal moving parts (instead of plastic like another type that I used), is fully adjustable, inexpensive, and just like the one in the therapists office. It also comes with an exercise book (that I didn't use by the way). Choosing this type of pulley over other designs should be a no brainer.Update ****************************************************************I purchased this in May of 2014. I was still using it as of today (1/26/16) when all of the sudden, it broke without warning and cracked me in the head. OUCH! Thankfully no blood. I'm going to reorder it again because I liked it so much, but I'm changing my 5 star rating to 3 stars. Maybe I should buy myself a helmet today too.

Having problems with my rotator cuff. Doctor recommended this exact product for me to order. Works wonders for the exercises that he is having me do. Very sturdy.
