Shoulder External Rotation (with theraband)

1. Start in standing side on, holding onto a theraband or similar with your outside arm.

2. The band can be tied to a pole, door handle, or wedged in a door frame as shown.

3. Keep your elbow tucked in to your side for the whole movement.

4. “Set” your shoulder blades first by slightly drawing them together.

5. Slowly turn your forearm out to the side. Hold for 3 seconds.

6. Return to original starting position with control.

*If this feels too easy, sidestep away from the band’s attachment, to add extra stretch to the band.
