Shoulder Training: Mobility, Strength & Control
Shoulder discomfort during overhead movements can involve more than one factor. Dr. Hoffman demonstrates a progression that begins with shoulder mobility before moving into controlled rotator cuff work and scaption.
He also shows how adjusting cable position can help align resistance with the intended movement, supporting a more targeted approach to strength and movement control.

Testing Eccentric Loading for Jumper’s Knee
For patellar tendinopathy, appropriately progressed loading is an important part of many rehabilitation and strength-training approaches. In this product review, Dr. Hoffman examines how OMNI X1 Pro’s Eccentric Mode can emphasize the lowering phase of a split squat.
The review explores precise resistance adjustments, cable positioning, coaching cues, and a comparison of Standard and Eccentric modes using sEMG. Rather than assuming that more muscle activation is automatically better, the focus is on what the actual testing reveals about the training stimulus.

Dr. Devon Hoffman’s Perspective
“As a physical therapist, the two things that keep people from doing real strength work at home are safety and progression — and the OMNI X1 solves both.
The AI safety system acts like a built-in spotter: if you fatigue, lose your grip, or your form breaks down, the resistance releases instantly, which is exactly the protection I'd want for a patient training without supervision.
The eccentric mode is the other standout — controlled eccentric loading is one of the most valuable tools we use in tendon and post-injury rehab, and the X1 builds it into every rep without juggling plates or bands.
From early-stage rehab to full return-to-sport strength training, this is a machine that lets people do the work at home that used to require a clinic or a fully equipped gym — and I'm comfortable recommending it to both my patients and the athletes I train.”
