Our Story: The reason I invented the Therastrap.

For many years I suffered with severe right shoulder pain that turns out was from lifting weights without properly warming up. I didn’t want to believe it was the weight training because that was the only time my shoulder didn’t hurt. It had gotten so bad that I would lay in bed at night and just beg for someone to just cut off my arm. I went everywhere for help: 9 chiropractors, 5 physical therapists, 4 surgeons, 2 acupuncturists and 10 different massage therapists. The chiropractors kept blaming my ribs and neck for the pain (no relief). The Physical therapists told me that the only way to fix my pain was to strengthen my rotator cuff muscles (but that just made it worse). The surgeons wanted to operate of course, but didn’t like me asking them “operate on what”? (no logical answer). The acupuncture did offer some relief for like a day or 2. And the massage therapists kept saying that my pain was muscular. I will say that after my massages, the pain did get better for a few days but then came back.

Then I met the woman who changed my life. I started dating a yoga instructor and on our first date she noticed that I was in pain and asked me what was up with my shoulder. After I explained the long details of what I had been going through she simply said… sounds like you have scar tissue that needs to be stretched. I said.. I do all the stretches that the physical therapist gave me, but they didn’t work. Then she showed me the proper way to stretch all the muscles of the rotator cuff, the rhomboid, deltoids and the lats. And guess what happened? My pain got worse!!! After cursing her out, she said MAN up, you have to get worse before it gets better. She was right… I stuck with it and within 3 weeks my pain was 75% better. And for the last 20 years I have taught over 10,000 patients the proper way to stretch their shoulder at home.

There was only one problem… there is nothing in your house to grab onto to stretch with. After tearing off the shower curtain rod and the door knobs of more than 1 door, my now wife said to me “when are you going to invent something that everyone can use to properly stretch without destroying their house”. And 2 weeks later, the therastrap was born. I spent a long time finding the right people to make these for us. I have the sweetest older lady named Glenda who gets all the grandmas together each week and they sew them for us and their quality is amazing. Thank you ladies, this wouldn’t be possible without all you hard work. Please check out our site and if you have any questions please feel free to call us anytime.
