• Reach your arm across your chest with your upper arm close to your collar bone.
  
• Take your other hand and grab the crossed arm's elbow.
  
• Pull your arm closer to your body and stretch your shoulder.
  
• Now do the other shoulder.
  
• Repeat a couple of times.
  

This stretches the back side of the shoulder from the shoulder blade around to the upper arm.
