Psst - here's something I found super helpful for shoulder iffyness: this exercise called a 'wall angel'.
It says it's for rotator cuff rehab (and it is) but I find it really good for stretching out tight pectorals and realigning the neck muscles too.
What's probably best is leaning back into the wall with your lower lumbar spine pressed as flat as you can make it, and elbows and wrists pressed into the wall. For a better stretch, I find if you push your arms straight up instead of moving them in it activates the wee muscles inbetween your shoulderblades. Hope this is of some help - shoulders are such finicky little bastards.
