If the back of your shoulder is tight, you can have rotator cuff problems. These problems are more likely if you golf or play overhead racket or throwing sports, such as tennis or baseball. To keep your shoulders flexible:
- Bring your left arm across your body and hold it with your right arm, either above or below the elbow.
- Hold for about 30 seconds.
- Switch arms and repeat.
