Stretching WON'T Fix Rounded Shoulders (3 Exercises That WORK) 

Want to improve your rounded shoulder posture and eliminate shoulder pain at the same time? These three simple exercises will improve your tissue, loosen your muscles, and build lasting results.
Learn the three characteristics of rounded shoulder posture and how that structural dysfunction can lead to long-term shoulder pain and issues like bursitis, impingement, and rotator cuff problems.
Then follow this quick routine for a couple of weeks and relearn how to hold your good shoulder posture all day long effortlessly.
The only tools you will need are a convenient wall and a massage ball (or lacrosse or tennis ball) for the first exercise. You will start with improving your tissue pliability and lengthen muscles that control shoulder movement. Then we'll strengthen the muscles that create good posture and also address correlated dysfunctions like forward head posture and thoracic kyphosis.
Remember the cues and check your technique. For exercise three, keep the posterior scapular tilt in mind.
