To realign your shoulders and loosen things up, here are 10 simple stretches anyone who is into telemedicine can do.
Overhead triceps stretch

Bend your head to the right, hold for 30 seconds, gently look up and down.
Repeat in the other side.
Band pulls
To do the stretch, you will need a resistance band. Grab the resistance band, pull the band apart at chest level. Hold taught band, reach arms above head. Return to chest level, stand tall. Reach the band above your head and tilt it to the side. Repeat.
Threading the needle
Stretching helps to relax the tension in the shoulder. To do this, start in table position. Now raise one arm above your head, exhale and release the raised arm, and thread the needle under another arm. Rest your shoulder on the mat with your hips raised, breathe, and repeat.
Wall turns
To do the stretch, face the wall, raise your arms high, and place your hand on the wall. Slowly move your body under the raised arm, rotate 360 degrees to the starting position. Invest and repeat.
Sun stretch
You can do this stretch every hour to open your shoulders. To do the stretch, stand with your shoulder blades down, raise your arms to your sides, and your palms up.
Raise your chin and look up. Release your arms and palm down. Look down and repeat for 10 reps.
