EXTERNAL ROTATION SIDE STEPS
This is a rotator cuff strengthening exercise that targets the external shoulder rotators. It is a progressive loading isometric exercise that utilizes a band to add resistance to the shoulder. Step out as far as you can tolerate while retaining good form and hold for 5-10 seconds before stepping back in to reduce the resistance.

Infraspinatus
Teres Minor
Related Conditions:
