Band Shoulder External Rotation
Anchor a resistance band at elbow height and stand side-on to it, holding the band in the far hand with your elbow bent to ninety degrees and tucked against your ribs. Keep a small towel roll between your elbow and your side to maintain position. Rotate your forearm outward, away from your belly, while keeping the elbow pinned and the upper arm still. Move slowly and control the return, feeling the back of the shoulder work rather than the wrist.
