REBOUND EXTERNAL ROTATION

This is a shoulder strengthening exercise that targets the external rotators. Anchor a band in front of you at roughly head height. Keep the elbow abducted to shoulder height start with your forearm parallel with the floor. Grip onto the free end of the band and take a step backwards to add tension to the band. Pull the band by externally rotating the shoulder until it is perpendicular to the floor (90 degrees external rotation). Let the band then pull your hand internally by 5-10 degrees and externally rotate once again.

Related Conditions:
