RangeMaster Classic Multi-Use Shoulder Pulley with Guide (Dual Language) Exercise Equipment for Over Door Shoulder Rehab, Arm Rehabilitation, Rotator Cuff Recovery, and Improved Flexibility

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.

Bought this nice wooden handled set with valuable exercise / instruction guide for Dad. Sturdy little flip book in color with pictures. Explains exercises and shows muscle groups. Invaluable in recovery. It's been about 6 weeks post left humerus arm surgery. Recommend by doctor and PT. He has it attached to the top of the closet bedroom door by his bed. He uses it daily. He really likes it. It's sturdy and well made. He enjoys using it. It is helping him get stronger to return to his regular household chores. Mom is happy about that. Good quality piece. Should last for many years. Very pleased with this purchase.

I use this product at my physical therapist to recover from Rotator Surgery. I bought this as a single item, but they have a pack that includes a blue bar as well. I would also recommend that, as I also use it in PT. This comes with a good booklet that expands on the normal workouts. If it matters, I am 6'0 and it has plenty of reach for long arms I have had to tie off the rope to adjust it for me, but otherwise, it is strong and flexible and much easier to use than other types. The "rope" is not stretchy, but it does have flex. The polished wooden handles are pierced for the rope in a good place to allow room for the hands to have a good grip on the handles. The hanger for the pulley assembly is padded so it doesn't scratch the door and the pulley itself seems to be quite strong and swivels for different positions. It's been a great tool.

Easy to set up over the door pulleys for shoulder range of motion. The foam padding on the door hook is flimsy though. The pulley is also not the greatest of quality but gets the job done. These are better than other pulleys with full handles as it allows for a more natural grip and anatomical alignment with shoulder elevation.

Excellent exercise device. I use it as part of my rotator cuff rehab program.

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.

Great for your shoulder and rotator cuffs

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.

As described

I got a pulley from my physio but it didn't have a hook and so could only be used with a door that closed inwards. This pulley can be used either way. Strong and well made, it comes with a book of very well-explained and illustrated exercises. I particularly like how easy it is to adjust the length so I can change easily from sitting to standing exercises.

If you're considering a pulley system for rehabilitation, I can’t recommend the metal bracket option enough! If you’re on the shorter side, specifically under 5'5", this is definitely the better option compared to the strap type. The bracket moves smoothly over the door without damaging the door and stays secure, unlike the strap anchors, which tend to slide off when you open the door. The seller provides outstanding support, complete with easy-to-follow YouTube videos and a spiral-bound flip booklet that serves as a fantastic guide. The information is not only helpful for setup, but it also emphasizes the proper body posture to use while working with the pulley system. I was initially worried because I’m not the most coordinated person, but I quickly found my rhythm—literally within a minute! The passive lift techniques allowed me to gently move my injured shoulder without any strain. Even with my disabilities and weaker hands, the wooden handles made the whole process comfortable.

very good and simple in operation

Works well for rotator cuff physio…. Helping to gain movement. Suggested by physiotherapist
