4. Shoulder Stretches I was recently informed by an orthopedist that I have a touch of arthritis in my left shoulder. I had been experiencing pain for about six months, and I was actually relieved that it was not something more serious. The told me to do a series of stretches to relieve the pressure on the joints. These are some basic techniques for stretching the shoulder muscles.
