This is the one move a physical therapist recommends for people who sit a lot and suffer from shoulder pain

A woman sits at a desk in front of an open laptop with a slightly pained expression. She is holding her right shoulder with her left hand and stretching it out to the side by lifting her elbow.

Shoulder pain can be frustrating, especially if you're dealing with a niggle that just won't go away. But it's common for people who work desk jobs and are constantly hunched over laptops.

Stretching the shoulder muscles can help relieve tension, but you should try strengthening the area too if you want to get rid of the achiness for good.
