Rotator Cuff Exercise – External Rotation

Here’s a great way to strengthen your rotator cuff and ease shoulder pain. The rotator cuff muscles are crucial for shoulder movement, so giving them a little workout can make a big difference in pain relief and mobility. Just keep an eye on your shoulder to make sure it’s not getting aggravated!

How-To Steps:

  1. Make sure your posture is on point! Stand tall with a straight spine, shoulders slightly up and back. —avoid starting in a slouched position.
  2. Grab the elastic with one arm and pull it out to the side. Keep that good posture and don’t worry about pulling too far! Then return back to starting position.
  3. Complete around 10 repetitions, and aim for 2 to 3 sets.
