Description

Stand with your back against a wall, place a brick or a towel between your trunk and the elbow of the working arm, and hold a stick with your other hand. Use the stick to move your forearm outward without lifting the elbow or twisting your torso, until you reach maximum external rotation. After holding the stretch for the indicated time, release and gently return to the starting position.
