Sore shoulders are common when starting a new workout program or when exercising a little too hard. These stretches can help relax sore and tight shoulder muscles and provide pain relief.
A posterior capsular stretch, biceps stretch, and an inferior (triceps) stretch are great ways to get the shoulder loosened back up when the muscles are sore.
Some other great stretches for muscles in the front and back of the chest area, that also attach to the scapula or shoulder blade, are a chest (pec) stretch and a rhomboid stretch.
