Description

Sit down with your arm positioned alongside your body and your elbow bent, while a third person gently moves your arm outward to its maximum range of motion. You then exert slight inward pressure against their resistance for a few seconds, then they accompany your arm again to reach a new maximum range of motion in external rotation.
