Are you experiencing sore shoulders after starting a new workout program or pushing yourself a little too hard? That's not uncommon. Sore shoulder muscles can cause discomfort and even limit your range of motion.

In this video, I demonstrate five simple and effective stretches that can help relax sore and tight shoulder muscles while providing pain relief. I start off by showing how to target aching shoulder muscles with stretches such as the posterior capsular stretch, biceps stretch, and inferior (triceps) stretch. These will help get those shoulders feeling loose and limber again.

Then I move on to some fantastic stretches that focus on the chest area, such as the chest (pec) stretch and rhomboid stretch, because those muscles also attach to the scapula (or shoulder blade) and can cause shoulder pain.

When done regularly, these 5 stretches can help to relieve tension and soreness in the front and back of the shoulders, while also increasing range of motion.
