Hi @Ron, it's great that you have links for these stretches? Could you summarize some of what the stretches are and post them here as well?– user241Commented Jan 11, 2012 at 3:22

They're a bit lengthy and I feel a summary won't give them justice. I'll see what I can do.– RonCommented Jan 11, 2012 at 4:47
Further to Ron's link to Yoga Exercises for neck and shoulder pain, the routine in this video for Yoga at Your Computer to Loosen Tight Upper Back Muscles I've found very helpful. Based on the comments, other people have found it useful too.
