Stiffness or weakness at the shoulder can effect the shoulder itself, the neck, and even cause problems in the forearm and hand.

Try this stretch on both sides. It’s normal to be a little tighter on your dominant arm, but if it feels really different side to side, then this is an area to focus on.

Less is more with this stretch. Keep it very light and comfortable to avoid causing more issues than you help.
