3 Basic Tips for Shoulder Pain:

1- Do no sleep on the same side every night, switch sides and change your hand positions.
2- Try to sit with your hands on arm rests and palms up, this opens the chest and un-pinches the tendons.
3- Pinch your shoulder back several times during day and focus on sitting up straighter and back in your chair.
