External Rotations target the rotator cuff muscles—the deep stabilizers of your shoulder joint. These small but mighty muscles are key for keeping your shoulders healthy during the repetitive reaching, lifting, and blow-drying that stylists do daily. This simple banded exercise helps strengthen those stabilizers, improve shoulder alignment, and reduce strain on the neck and upper traps.

It’s a must-do for any beauty pro looking to maintain shoulder health and avoid burnout.

Why It’s Essential for Beauty Pros:

• Reinforces Shoulder Integrity: Supports the joint through high-volume, repetitive movements.

• Prevents Overuse Injuries: Protects against strain from frequent blow-drying or foiling.

• Improves Posture & Arm Mechanics: Keeps shoulders externally rotated, open, and strong.

• Quick, Targeted Movement: Easy to do with a resistance band during breaks or as part of a prep routine.

External Rotations are like insurance for your shoulders—keeping them strong, supported, and ready to handle the physical demands of salon work without breaking down.
