Shoulder external rotation is easily done at home with an exercise band. Standing with the arm to be exercised away from the wall keep your elbow down to the side and the elbow bent to 90 degrees. With appropriate tension on the band pull the hand away from the body without moving the elbow and keep the thumb pointed toward the sky. Slowly return to the starting position. Repeat 2 sets of 15 reps.
