Buy the Shoulder Exercise WorksheetThese shoulder pain relief exercises are great for helping to relieve general shoulder pain and shoulder tightness. The shoulder exercises are done in real time, so it’s easy to follow along with the routine.

These shoulder exercises start off with a warm-up including shoulder circles, arm circles, and shoulder Ts. These will get the shoulder muscles warm and loose.

Next, exercising the shoulder in different directions will help target different muscles around the shoulder. Shoulder flexion, shoulder abduction, and shoulder scaption are great simple ways to strengthen the rotator cuff and other muscles around the shoulder.

Finally, shoulder squeezes and shoulder shrugs will help strengthen the shoulder, neck, and upper back muscles.
