    and your credible source of info is what? ok.. fireguy a forehand stretch is stretching the anterior delt/pec muscles by having an open hand against a wall/straight pole, etc, and your arm is straightned out behind you

    That's what I thought you were implying I am not limited in this motion, its more of a posterior rotation of the shoudlers/rotator cuff which causes the problem. I am assuming the OP is experiencing the same thing.

    Hence, why I asked the question, I thought maybe there was a modified forehand stretch you were referring to which would help with this aspect.

    i see, he was referring to a pec/delt stretch and thats what i perform. for posterior stretches. for posterior he could perform the backand stretch, or rotator cuff stretch (grab a towl or band and hold it so your hands are about 45 degrees to the vertical. gradully roll your hands bakwards so that your houlders and elbows are at 90 degrees and a stretch is felt in the anterior shoulder.
