Shoulder Pain Rehab

Good Afternoon,
So I have the dreaded pain in the front of my shoulders while bench pressing. I at first thought if I just went light weight high repetitions it would go away. Wrong, hurts still doing light weight.
So I researched it a little and what I found out makes sense. I am on the computer a lot and the positioning of my arms while on the computer is bad for the shoulders. That and I went heavier with my bench press with my stronger chest than shoulder muscles and paid the price.
I found really awesome rehab youtube video if anyone has same issue. I did some of the stretches today and feels good.
Here it is if anyone needs it.

Thank you for posting...i had been able to regain some mobility by stretching and excercising on my own, but I really was needing something more focused.0
